Return of the cube
12x12x12 Deep Blue Cube.
https://photos.smugmug.com/12x12x12-...IMG_0096-L.jpg Will be using the same frame work and light from the 8 inch cube I had up previously. https://photos.smugmug.com/Deep-Blue...e28jerup-L.jpg Still to do, Either mod HOB filter to skim or make micro sump. Mount light. Level platform. Monitor temp to see if heater is needed.. |
Was going to work on it today but ran out of time, there are a few snails, asteria, and bristle worms crawling around in it. The were in the bucket of old sand I used from my 40AIO...
Gonna look online for some tiny shrimp to put in it... |
Feed some Elos sv.M2 pellets to the cube today, brought out all the snails and bristle worms....lol
|
It's looking great!
|
Got the timer for my light, I should have it lit up in the AM
and of course, I have one rock with aiptasia on it...Lol |
|
Had to put a heater in it, room isn't staying warm enough.
Using the Finnex 100w with digital controller.. Equipment on the cube so far... 12x12x12 deep blue cube. DIY extruded aluminum stand. Aqua-Tech HOB filter Kessil 160 light. Finnex 100w heater... |
Moved one of my leathers over, looks ticked off.
Also shortened the siphon for the HOB filter... https://photos.smugmug.com/12x12x12-...IMG_0117-L.jpg |
Had a flare up of dinos, looks like the tank has beaten them back on its own, doing a water change when I get off work, guess I will see then...
Getting two peppermint shrimp this payday to get rid of the aiptasia... |
Neon Cleaner Goby added today
https://photos.smugmug.com/Fish/i-Xx...ncleaner-M.jpg picture from http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/caribbea...s/species/4152 mine is still hiding... Also moved my smallest Blue Damselfish from the hex tank to this cube, the others were picking on him... |
Well the dinos returned, I moved livestock to a bucket for now, between that and the aiptasia I am bleaching it all and starting over....
|
Looking pretty cool for a small tank.
good work |
Thanks, I only found 1 aiptasia this go round....You can barely see it in the toadstool picture...

Haven't found any more aiptasia, just a bit of algae on the glass and sand...
Todays pics, have added my bubble coral, 1 more mushroom, and some yellow polyps... Added a fire shrimp also..If you follow that acrylic rod I am target feeding him... https://photos.smugmug.com/12x12x12-...8_150725-L.jpg |
