Bo I must be the luckiest guy in the world. NOT


After having my first aqua pod cracking upon filling it half way up.



My new bio cube has a bad ballast.


I contacted the LSF that I bought it from, and they told me if oceanic doesn’t help me they will give me a new ballast from another bio cube.

[2003mikem]

I just talked to oceanic,ffice:office" />

They are very easy to work with. Adam stated that a new ballast would be shipped out today or tomorrow.


P.S.

I also purchased a pseudo chrome to establish the filters and sand.

Well, it good to see you got the biocube and good that you're getting the ballast replaced by the MFR. Keep us posted!

[2003mikem]

Well I finally received my warranty ballast from oceanic yesterday.fficeffice" />>>

It took 8 days to get it. I live 75 miles from them.>>

It makes a real difference in the color of the tank and carols.

I found this guy in my bio cube.


He is a hitchhiker from my 155.

I didn’t buy him. He showed up in my Nano the other day.


I have been looking for him since I first saw him ,of course I haven’t seen him whole, either he molted or my wife’s puffer got the little sucker
From what I have heard on another board I frequent he is a gorilla crab.
I could post the pics of it but they are useless.
Here is a link to a good pic of the little sucker. Same pink, same mean looking claws http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/th...gorillacrab.jpg

Well we added a hog fish to our Nano this weekend. He is a fast little sucker.

I have been trying to get a good picture of him but he wont stay still long enough to get a good picture.

So here is a link to a picture like him.

he will eventually go in my 155 with my bamboo shark when he gets larger.

Right now he is a Juvenile about 2 ½” long. He gets along well with the Toby puffer.

Ok my first fish in my nano is a little pink thing my wife wanted to have. Well after that fish disappeared after 2 weeks we added her puffer after about 3-4 weeks.

Sunday night I was watching the nano and I saw the little pink fish after not seeing it for weeks.

Now I have a red slim outbreak in the tank. If I remember right this will go away on it own correct?
I also added some cooling fans that come on when the lights are on, to help keep the temp stable.

Sal 1.025
Nitrate 0.00
Nitrite 0.00
Am 0.00
Phosphate .005 if I read it right. Will be adding some phosban to a bag in the filter tonight.

Temp 76-78

Nice looking picture of your tank, coral and fish. I really like the puffer fish. How is he doing in your tank? Have u had any problems with him?
