spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Update:: I just got my diatom bloom a few days ago and I just added my sand in today. Also added a heater, Theo 25 watt. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 how did you use the top frame and the HOB filter? did you have to cut the frame? Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah i cut the back off. the frame actually holds the glass Im using for a lid. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah i cut the back off. the frame actually holds the glass Im using for a lid. i too work at petsmart and when i saw the other 1.25 gallon betta cubes, ideas ran wild through my head and your idea of combating evaporation was one of them. and the idea of cutting the back of the frame for the HOB also.

spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 my idea works great, the glass is cut to 6 by 4 1/2 inches. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 yeah the only thing i was thinking might be an issue is salt creep from possible splashing water on that top from the hob Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well yeah but I always wipe it off if to much builds up. But thats how it is with any tank with a lid. Personally its not a lot of splash with the filter i have now but i do want a bigger one cuz the one i have is so small. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i was thinking the perfect filter for that setup is an ac20. the price just dropped on those 5 dollars at my petsmart. now they are 21.99 i think. without our discount Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 oh are they clear? I dont recall seeing them. I havent looked at filters much cuz i havent exactly needed one. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 they are see through. i think they are kindof a gray clear not crystal clear like your nano. but i think the flow would be absolutely perfect for it. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Oh ok, well ill check into them when im at work tomorrow. I just need the chaeto to be able to get enough light to survive in the back there. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 yeah try to look at them. if i do the 1.25g thats what im gonna do. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 do it... we could make a family or club of petsmart 1.25G SW cubes Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 hahaha!! or even just a 1.25 betta cube club just cuz there are several of them now. lol. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 yep it would be awesome. they are great tanks considering they are made of glass and just look sweeet. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 they are pretty well built too even though the glass seems kinda thin and it feels fragile when you hold it. my store has one on display with a betta in it. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 We just got a shipment of them in cuz i bought the last one haha. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 we've had this one on display since we started selling them like 6 months ago. anyways i was thinking of doing a sexy shrimp set up in that tank too. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Im gonna stick how ever many i can shove in there. and one clown goby. I have him in a bigger tank but never see him but in this smaller tank i shouldnt exactly have a hard time finding him. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i have a yellow clown in my 6 gallon and i see him ALL the time perched on some rocks or on top of my yuma colony. sometimes he even somehow sticks himself to the glass. if i put one of them in a smaller tank i'd probably do it in the 2.5 otherwise i would do a partial water change every 3 or 4 days in the betta cube with 3 sexies Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 well mines a green and my yellow is ALWAYS out, truthfully i see snails make more poop then my clown gobies ha. I might not get any sexies cuz this is HIS tank. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 yeah if its HIS tank then everything you do should revolve around him. like dont give him any hiding places in the back or give him lots of perches. Link to comment
spazizz Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 He has one hiding spot, and thats the middle of the rocks but i doubt he will hide there since he wont be bothered by any other fish. Hes such a wimp. My yellow will hold ground up to my dottyback which is kinda funny. Ill take pics of the tank tomorrow though, its a mess right now, algae, diatoms, new sand... disaster looking..

luv-the-rics Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 mine isnt much better. i had to rearrange the rocks 5 times in the past 2 months just to get them how i liked them. Link to comment
