WilyGuy's Oceanic BioCube 8G Official Build Thread

Sorry to hear about Ike, and best of luck with the co-worker watching things while you are on vacation.

[WilyGuy]

I am unhappy.

I knew Ike had gone missing. I left for vacation and when I returned, Mike is also missing. I have searched the Back sections as she liked to move in and out of them, but alas I have not seen her in the 2 days I have been in the office.

Still have the PJ Cardinal. I am going to hold before I consider replacement of any kind.

That sucks

[aquawolf]

No way Scott! I hate that for you. I don't blame you one bit for waiting before getting a replacement. I would be taking my time at this point to see what might be going on with the system.

Sorry for your loss and best of luck with the tank moving forward.

[WilyGuy]

I'm going to focus on getting the corals going...

I think I may take the Cardinal to the home tank so that I don't have to "feed the fish" and I can let the corals do their thing for a little while. The tank is just a novelty to my co-workers now and most don't notice it much when they come into my cube. Maybe I'll just break down and get a clown so that they'll ask "how is Nemo?"

[WilyGuy]

I think my feeding and vacation caught up to me....quite a bit of algae. I need to do some more water changes. The corals appear to be doing OK, except the Micromussa who is getting a healthy dose of algae. Otherwise everyone else is growing.

Haven't moved the Cardinal yet, but plan that tomorrow night. I have some great Zoas at home that are ready to split and I will be doing some work on Monday or Tuesday.....fingers crossed that I have time.

[aquawolf]

Good luck getting things back in shape Scott.

I'm so wanting to do a tank like this on my desk at work. I have a large L shaped desk similar to yours but I don't work in the corner so it would be a great place to set the tank up.

[WilyGuy]

So I slacked and didn't feel right about being part of the competition, so I purposely waited to update. I think Congrats to Regina....no official declaration has been made, but by the totals looks like she has it.

Here is mine after some cleaning, but it needs more.

[aquawolf]

Thanks for the update Scott. How have you been?
