boxofh2o Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Looking forward to your post! I always like seeing what other BioCube owners are doing! I've just started mine so no livestock yet other than a hitchhiker snail! Link to comment
Loudeyes Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 First rock set up! The water is still pretty cloudy. Our two damsel fish Bonnie and Clyde. waters pretty clear now. First coral frags! Link to comment
Loudeyes Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 New frags!! Condy anemone. Got some more live rock. New peppermint shrimp Peppy and Shaky! Nice lil FTS. awesome shot of the condy. I love how much movement that anemone adds to the tank! You can see Bandit the bar goby in this shot. Link to comment
Jmifland Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Way too soon to add an anemone. Did you even cycle the aquarium? Link to comment
Loudeyes Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Way too soon to add an anemone. Did you even cycle the aquarium? Yeah I realized that after I got it. he is doing fine though that pic was taken almost 4 months ago. He moves around a lot but usually stays around that spot, and yes I cycled the tank the rock I used was per-cured from the LFS and the water came straight from their reef tank. It cycled for about 2months after I set it up at home. The tank has been up for a while now I just wanted a place to put the progression of it since I had all the pics from the beginning until now.But yeah I realized afterward that I got it way too soon.

iball1804 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 FYI, water holds barely, if no beneficial bacteria. The only thing you got from that water was the tanks' params and poop. The rock on the other hand will have all the bacteria you'd need. Link to comment

Thanks for letting me know I'll make sure to keep that in mind in the future. Btw that thing about the roach in you sig is hilarious haha Link to comment
