So, the biocube I keep in my homeoffice has been having issues for awhile.  It for colonial hydroids, so... yea.

I pulled everything out, and its running tapwater w/ bleach in it for 3-4 days.
plan on rinsing w/ tap water w/ some prime, then doing a vinegar cycle, then another water w/ prime rinse.

I think i've ruled out a QT tank, i might just try a minimalist tank.. single rock, thin sandbed, see how it goes.

original most I moved over...

so my 29g biocube in my office has colonial hydroids. nice pretty blueish green ones.... asdjklasdfjklbsdfbjkl.    luckily, i dont cross contaminate my systems.  they are towards the back on the rock.  i have some kenya trees if anyone wants to risk it,  ...free before i tear this down.  also 2 "galveston" crab, and a conch (maybe 2, not sure).  hell, and the liverock too.  I plan to tearing it down this weekend, unless someone needs me to wait a week.

FREE contaminated STUFF!
