musicalmike Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sorry to be so absent from this thread. Work, family and way too many hobbies have kept me away. But it is now time to contribute. My 30gal Bio-Cube has been up and running for almost 2 years now. I keep the temp at a constant 61 degrees. Everything was running real smooth up untill about 5 mnths ago when my filter/pump stopped running and I didn't notice it for two days. Normally a filter/pump stopping would not harm the tank to much if you had other sources of circulation and filteration (which I do have). Unfortunatley the pump was driving my chiller......Can you say crash!!!! Well close.....Of course I lost my orange cup corals, red gorgonian, all my urchins, and an assortment of Strawberries and other odd critters. I cleaned out the tank of any dead creatures and fixed up the pump and hoped for the best. Currently, about 60% of the critters survived!!! Totally amazing!!! Water temp was at 82 degrees for two days!! Both of my Catalina goby's made it, most of the Cowery shells, starfish, snails, crabs, worms and a small amount of Berries also survived. Here are a couple pictures of my most recent additions. Link to comment
