Connor's 29 Biocube

HI! It's Connor

I got this really cool tank from a friend, but I think I want to rearrange my fish and rocks and stuff.

My mom and I are cleaning rock in the basement - she says we are cooking it and when that's done we will start over again with my tank.

I want some really colorful fish, and I want my corals to get better - they are stil la little sick, and I think I want a sump, Mom has then on her tanks so that would be cool, we have extras in the basement.

I know my tank is full right now, but I guess Violet and I can both redo our tanks together with our mom's help

off the corals yes, but we are still wokring on some of the rocks.

Joe's juice was a joke compared to ben's lighter and paper clip.

Mean, sure, but effective

FYI
I will obviously be the project manager on this, but Connor has been really excited about his tank since we threw it up in late December. He wants his tank to be healthy and really pays attention to the corals. I have been awed by him quiet frankly. He has a pagoda cup, an open brain, and a large head of candy canes that were part of a rescue for another tank and he nkows all of the names and signs of healthy and unhealthy corals. For a 6.5 year old I say that's pretty amazing.

He noted his tank does not have a skimmer like mine do, and wanted to know why... he wondered about the sump and why he did not have one...

He likes the fish he got, but he has asked for more colorful ones... He also has his hands in the tank playing with the rock work... a true reefer in the making LOL!

His ammonia and nitrite are down to 0 and his traes are at 25... down from, yeah well we aren't telling

So with out further ado here are the pics...

Hey Connor. Your tank sure seems to look better than it did even a week ago. Good job! I can't wait to see all the changes take place. Good Luck!
