Well I broke up some of my rocks to reaquascape and I sorta like it but then again I dont. The problem is that the pieces came from two of my rocks that were in the tank and when I broke them up every piece had a flat edge on it so im wondering if I should take this rock back to my work and get...

Well this morning I was advised to take the leathers out because they released toxins. So my leathers are now in the trash. I am going to run active carbon in one of the back chambers but idk which one to put it in. I am probably going to get chemipure because thats what my work carries whats...

Last night I pulled them off the rocks and the slime coat was the only thing holding them together and half of the leathers were released into the water. I'm going to get a bag of chemipure from my work on thursday or friday. Is there a better brand of carbon or is chemipure pretty good?

Egg crate works the best.

I had a power outage over the weekend because we have been in the triple digits here. I had a lot of things die on me and I know that ammonia was very high. Right when I got home to notice things were dead I quickly did a 4 gallon water change on my 14 gallon biocube. Last night the leathers...

Your tank is looking really good. Keep up the good work.

Just keep a digital thermometer on the tank and if you see that your heater isn't working then put the new one in. I would just store the new one and only run one heater at a time. Setting to exact temperatures would be too difficult. I have had the stealth 75w and it hasn't failed on me yet...

Well the fish in my tank are looking a lot better, they ate flake food and frozen daphnia tonight. The leathers are disintegrating and so are the mushrooms. The frogspawn corals are still closed but I hope they make it through this tragic moment. Should I leave my leathers in and hope they...

Well today I was out of town all weekend and usually my mom watches my tank and feeds my fish while I am gone. Well I got back into town but since my parents are divorced I was spending time with my dad. My mom was also out of town and when she got back to the house she called me and said...

I have no clue what that is...

If I had to buy another biocube I would definitely buy the 29 because the nice size. You can easily put a pair of clowns in there. I have a 14 gallon biocube with a pair of clowns but the size of my dresser limited me from going with the 29. It would have been hanging off haha not good. But...

So skifletch are you saying that I should buy individual tests for different parameters or should i wait for this all in one kit?

The coral tank at my work seems to have those pulsing xenia sprouting up in different places all the time. They are nice looking corals in my opinion.

I am looking for a test kit for keeping my parameters in check. I have been keeping corals in my 14 gallon biocube and was wondering if this kit would work? Master Test Kit

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

haha @ombomb i think you told me that before

beautiful looking tank you got there I wish I had the money to do hard corals in a big tank like that.

In the filter is there a new pad? If so the tank has no biological filtration at all and it is trying to cycle. Put a pad from your main tank into the quarantine tank and let it run for a week or so hopefully you just have some nitrates by then and you can just do a partial water change.

I saw a maxijet mod and it seemed like it worked really well

I have the koralia nano and havn't experienced any noise problems with it.

Royal Gramma or Six Line Wrasse

I think going with the 5ft tank would be the better option because you would only need to move things over once. If you kept with the 6ft tank then you would have to drain it and store everything somewhere while the stand was built. Then you would need to set it back up. With the 5ft you can...

Nassarius snails I have found are the best for the sand cleanup. The go on the glass every once and a while but mainly stay in the substrate. I also bought a diamond goby to help with my substrate algea problem and he is amazing. Havn't had any problems since he was added. He sifts the sand...

I love my 14 gallon biocube but if I was to start over I would go with the 29 gallon. The only reason I didn't go with the 29 is because my fish tank was going to be put on my dresser and the 29 wouldn't fit so I had to settle for the 14 but it is still an awesome tank. You won't be...

Hey Big C I typically feed my clowns flake food and biopure frozen brine shrimp but now I am feeding biopure frozen daphnia just to try it out. The clowns love the brine shrimp a whole lot more. Everyday when I feed my tank my blood red fire shrimp comes out and all the nassarius snails wake...

Probably go with the hydor koralia 1 because these types of powerheads aren't a direct jet they push water out at a wider range giving a very nice flow on the surface and in the water. I have the nano and its the perfect size for the 14. With your 24 I would definitely go with the koralia 1...

Well I just did a 2 gallon weekly water change on my tank and was thinking about how I should really have a test kit for my tank. What are some of the best test kits out there?

Hey nanocubeking you have a nice looking tank there i like the ricordias I'm gonna have to get some of those. How do you like the hydor because mine is great and I have it positioned on the opposite side of my return on my 14 gallon biocube.

Hey john at my work/LFS we use red sea coral pro salt also. It seems to do the job haha. Your question with the perculas is that they probably aren't mature yet because today at work I was looking at some of the new ones that came in and some had stripes that didn't connect due to there young...

Flash on FTS Diamond Goby's Home Shots of the frogspawn Mushrooms Leathers Clowns Back Chambers (modify?) Temp Overview FTS

Well there hasn't been much change in my tank since my last post. I have been looking online at how people have been modifying there back compartments. I would like to get a protein skimmer in the back but don't know if that is possible. What are some options that I have concerning a protein...

I like the way you did your aquascaping. Nice caves and overhangs there. I hope that brittle star doesn't get to big for your tank there. Nice tank though is it just going to be a fowlr of were u gonna do some reef stuff to?

Beautiful tank there. I see you just had to go out and get a frogspawn after looking at mine huh. I really like the bubble and hammer coral. I wanted a hammer coral at first but my LFS didn't have one at the time so I ended up with a frogspawn. Ill have to get a bubble for my tank.

He will more than likely take the lives of any small fish you add to the tank.

SH i didn't know about that. So what main type of corals should I be putting in mainly?...LPS or softies?...or if i do keep both should I just keep them spread out?

Well Im going to see what my lfs has in the morning. Ill keep you guys posted if I get any new corals.

Here is a pic of the frogspawn before the actinics go off. I will try to use my moms camera to take a better shot some time this weekend. These are all taken with my phone.

Thanks connorsbala When the frogspawn was still at my work (my lfs) it wasn't as open as it is now. I am amazed at how much it really opened up. I was hoping for the clowns to host it but maybe in a month or so. One of the leathers is starting to open back up tonight. Ill try to get a pic of...

Yea it comes in a bottle. Green liquid that you keep refrigerated.

They just aren't opening. They open some days but most of the time they are closed. The frogspawn does well with all the flow but idk if there is too much flow for the leathers.
