persun87 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Here is our entry into the 365 day challenge. This Will be a team effort with my 5 year old daughter who loves online “challenges”. We are resurrecting a 12” Deep Blue cube that was converted into an AIO. Tank had been abandoned then emptied and sat in the shed for a couple years. The theme will be “5 year old dream” she will be in charge of stocking and maintaining with a little help. We will be using mostly if not all equipment that is laying around. She is excited to pick some fish and take some of dad’s coral. 6 Quote Link to comment

I totally am with you on the branch rock scapes. You’re off to a good start. I personally don’t think you need any more rock. Also it’s awesome to be doing with your 5 year old! My almost 4 year old twins are what got me going again after a several year hiatus. 🙂 Quote Link to comment

We have not got it wet unfortunately. Think this weekend it will be wet. My daughter can’t wait to get a clown but with all the crazy going on we haven’t been able to go to the LFS. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tired Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Do you have the salt, or can you mail-order it? You may as well get the tank started cycling. Buy some macros from live-plants or ReefCleaners to add in some pods, and you'll at least have some things to watch, albeit tiny ones. Shipping on macros is cheap, there are some really pretty varieties, and they'll help keep the tank clean. I'd show your daughter some pics of pretty algaes to consider. I believe live-plants still has some blue hypnea in stock? 1 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Were you able to get this tank wet? I'm hoping you have some updates - I love the scape you came up with! 1 Quote Link to comment
