Fishpoops 28 gallon glass box of water and stuff

[fishpoops]

Good Evening Folks,

After 10 long years as an amateur weekend Bedazzler, I tried to make the jump into the pro circuit, at first everything was great, I was winning competitions left right and center for my bedazzled denim masterpieces. eventually I started to bedazzle weeknights and it wasn't long was forced to quit my job so I could bedazzle full time. I was at the apex of my hobby and thats when it all came crashing down. The price of dazzles skyrocketed tripling the cost of my luxurious brilliant jackets!!! At the end of my rope and my money I decided that I needed a hobby that costs less and takes up less time so I can do other things like work. Listed and sold all my bedazzle paraphernalia on the Kijiji and Purchased a 28 gallon cube made by AquaEuro Usa.

I haven't seen a whole lot of reviews on this particular brand of tank. Looks to be relatively comparable to the other biocubes. I almost got a nuvo 16 which is a slick looking tank but was a bit too small. It comes with two pumps, to balance the overflow and the tank they must be set on the lowest setting unfortunately.

Anyways set everything up last night, hoping the cycle works out ok.

I miss watching the bedazzled world championships on espn 8, so sad to see such a great hobby fall.

On the bright side welcome to Canreef! What's your plans for the tank?

THE OCHO!!!

Tank will be a living room project for now eventually hope to get a larger one for the living room.

As for the contents still have some research to do. have a little while yet to decide before the purchasing begins.
also going to look into leds a little more to see my options with and without the lid.

Bedazzle the trim

That is a totally awesome idea however I don't think I should spiral back down the rabbit hole!!!

This started growing late last night. not sure if it is good, bad or ugly.

thinking about taking it out but wanted some feedback first.

Come on kiener you just don't fully understand the extreme commitment and costs involved in bedazzling!

Fishpoop look into a photo hosting site like photobucket so your images can be embedded into the thread. It will make things easier and much nicer.

I haven't had time to hook up the photo bucket due to reading every thread I can on here. Got up this Morning and found that I was getting the brown Diatoms on the live rock, spread pretty quickly, wasn't very prominent last night, but now covers a bunch of it.

specs on the tanks on the 10th were
ph:8
ammo:2
nitrite:2
nitrate:10
Salinity:1.025

will test again when I wake up, hopefully time for a water change and a CUC in the next couple of days.

need to search for a RO/DI in the morning as well.

thinking about being sneaky and getting a small ottoman with a lid to hide a ATO bucket or some such.
