dewzap Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Hi All, Well i finally broke down and spent this weekend setting it up. I got a BioCub 8 with 12lbs of LR, 5lbs of LS, and cycled water from the LFS. I watched it all weekend and it cleaned up perfectly. I added a feather duster and a small ground crew. Since this is at my desk at work(literally 11 inches from my elbow) i am monitoring everything very closely....if it does start to cycle and the water becomes toxic then i will make some water changes and take my new friends to the LFS for safekeeping till the cycle completes. So far so good tho =) It looks pretty desolate at this point but im hoping to add some Zoa's as soon as im confident the water is safe. Does anyone have a suggestion on a good small fish that is out of the normal...an ornamental fish? I like clowns but they are a dime a dozen nowadays... Here is my first attempt at Photobucket images: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w43/dewzap/tank004.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w43/dewzap/tank005.jpg -Dew
snowlancer2720 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 hey dew, congrats on the new tank. All tanks go through some kind of cycle, so i would try to get that stuff to someone else for safe keeping for a few weeks otherwise, you probably wont have much left when you are done for an 8g tank you could go with a shrimp goby, theyre pretty cool. good luck with it

Argent Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I wish the AC was more stable at my office (that's why I lost my first reef tank that was at my desk - it baked) Nice tank - I love my BioCube 8 as well. I have a goby/shrimp combo in mine (I always see the goby but not the shrimp )
Darklyte24 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 and this is a paid job? haha jk, thats nice! i work at intel, thats why i asked cuz intel is where you are at too.. im in a lab all the time playing games testing graphics drivers.. so no cube for me..
