TeamSchreiba's 9G BiUbe

[teamschreiba]

So after about a year of wanting a marine setup I finally went for it with the BiUbe. I know this might not have been the best choice for a starter tank but it's what I wanted at the time. I started with the marine conversion kit but after reading about it, I wish I never bought with that in the first place since now the only thing remaining from the original BiUbe is the tank shell. Let me know what you think!!

Very cool =)

Thanks!! I just got some new lighting with evil's PAR38 LED's. They look a lot better and brighter than the old lights I had. I'll try and post up some new pictures later today!!

[teamschreiba]

So I just finished taking some pictures with the new lighting setup... Let me know what you think

[bloo]

WOW. This tank is amazing.

[teamschreiba]

caught him hitching a ride...

[techguy]

Looks great! The new lighting looks amazing with the tank. Keep the pictures coming.

[mdannyg]

wow, this looks awesome. biubes are pretty.

[captainbastard]

Sweet tank, I love my par38s

[rickjg]

Wow that's 9 gallons! I thought at 1st it was the same as my 2.7 gallon pico. Is it acrylic or glass?

[teamschreiba]

Thanks guys!! And its an acrylic tank, the shape can really confuse you as to how big it is too. I got a frogspawn and xenia recently too so I'll try and get some new pictures up soon. Unfortunately the xenia is taking its time opening up as it took me awhile to get it firmly attached to something. But as soon as it does I'll make sure to post some up

That looks like a Pint of Reef.....

 

 

Love the new digs, buddeh!

[teamschreiba]

Haha I never though of it like that before. But without the lid it really does. My xenia is finally starting to open up, but it's definately taking its time.

how often do you topoff, and how often do you do water changes?

[teamschreiba]

how often do you topoff, and how often do you do water changes?

I do water changes once a week and topoff as often as i need to. Its usually once during the midweek but it's not as bad as you would think since the PAR38 doesn't give off much heat.

I've been looking for a reasonably small, round tank for Jellyfish...

 

Thanks for showing me what to buy...

no problem

 

it definitely looks great but it can be a pain to clean

[teamschreiba]

So I haven't updated in a long time and I've really had an explosion in growth since my tank has matured so here's some new pics...
