hoganrj Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have another quick question for you. I also have the Fision skimmer. Where did you put yours? I find it kind of akward in the back compartment. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 The fission skimmer is a piece of junk. Although it fits quite well in my closet. Link to comment
hoganrj Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Are you running any skimmer at all? Oh Found the basket! Thanks for the advice Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Are you running any skimmer at all? Oh Found the basket! Thanks for the advice Look for the bio cube skimmer. It fits good and that what I use. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 i currently dont run a skimmer at all, but as Ocho Cinco said, the biocube skimmer fits well and ive heard that it actually works. So next time im at the LFS im going to pick one up. Link to comment
hoganrj Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Don't think it will work in mine, I'm going to wait for the Sapphire one. Link to comment

hoganrj Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Cool, I am interested to see if it works. Can't wait to see what they all have in common. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Ive not got the skimmer yet, maybe this weekend. Here are the pics of the new corals Purple Fission X-men Blueberry Fields Forever Blue Xenia Duncan Zoa Rock (some things are pissed cause of me playing in the tank) I wonder how long it will take for them to cover the whole rock??

hoganrj Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Looks great! That rock will look amazing when they all grow in. Link to comment
Prowland Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hey man have not talked to you in a while... How is the tank doing? Are you going to that frag swap on the 12th? If you want I have that 15g with the 65W PC if you want to use it to sell some stuff. Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I dont use a skimer on my ap24 as Im only keeping zoas, lps, softies....They grow faster and look better in dirty unskimmed water Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have not updated this in a long time. My tank has been a mess lately. I live a hour away from a major city so getting premixed saltwater is hard sometimes. At one point i went like 2 1/2 weeks without a water change cause i didnt go to the city. Here recently i have purchased a RODI system but it makes my faucet leak so i use it sparingly. This week im going to do a water change every 2 days until all the hair algae clears up and my corals get back to the beautiful shape they once were. Link to comment
hoganrj Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Did you ever get the Biocube Protein skimmer? Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 no i never got it. my buddy has it on his biocube 29 and loves it. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 YAY, after 6 water changes my tank is finally making a full recovery. My Zoos are opening up fully for the first time in 2 months and my Rics are regaining all of there original color. Im still confused why this all happened but its gone now and im really excited about my tank again.!!! now to get rid of the rest of the hair algea. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 So i took down my frag tank. Since i live out in a rural farm community i cant ship and I couldnt find anyone locally to buy any of my stuff. So i decided to start up my Biocube 14g as a Clownfish Tank (one Black and white and one orange). I got some LR from a buddy that is fully cured and i bought some Moon Sand as a substrate. I have already added a CUC because everything was fully cured before hand. The only corals will be Zoo's and Mushrooms. Later i might try a RBTA. I know it might not work but i wana give it a try. If things start to look bad i can always put it in my 24g. On another note i have pictures of Both the Biocube 14 and the Aquapod 24. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 I reworked the LR on the 14 gal and drilled holes in the LR so that my frag plugs can fit snug on the LR. So far i have added 1 small zoo frag and it works great. ill post pictures later. Link to comment
Atomic081 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 My Aquapod is still a mess. Hair algae is a big concern right now and my Zoa's had not opened in about 3 weeks. So today i transfered all my Zoa's to my Biocube and they have already started to open up. Ill continue to do water changes every 3 or so days and ive added a phosphate sponge. Im also bringing down my lighting from 10 hours to 8 hours. Here are some pics of my Biocube and its 2 newest members. I bought the smallest B&W clownfish i could find and he has paired up with my Orange clownfish from my aquapod. Im going to add a coral banded shrimp to the tank, but that will be all the inhabitants. Link to comment
