spook8282 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Been having some minor issues with diatoms on the sand bed, as well as water clarity right now. As soon as I get everything solid and stable I will definetly shoot out some picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Why wait? We all have those problems. Post your pics of the tank is it sits now. Maybe someone can give some good advice as to what they did different to clear up the issues. Then in a couple of months you can look back and see why the hard work paid off and post new pics of the tank in all it's glory. Not to mention then you can give honest advice and show before and after pictures that will benefit everyone. Welcome to the forums. Mind if I ask why you left the Oceanic 29g behind for a new JBJ? I would assume it was for the halide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook8282 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 My 29g Bio cube had been up and running for 2 years and was doing great. The only thing I wanted to change was the lighting situation so I could keep some SPS. In September I moved to a new apartment. A friend of mine helped me move the tank. Got everything set up at the new place and my buddy dropped a dolly wich cracked the glass and that was it. 29g of water all over the place is not a pretty site. As it is now im happy with the new purchase. The lighting is great and the all in one package isnt that bad either. The only problem ive had with the new tank so far is filtration. For some reason there is always stuff floating in the water. Could be the fact that I have a yellow coris wrasse making a mess of the sand bed, or maybe the tank is just not broken in all the way. I will definetly send out some pics as soon as I get a Photo Bucket account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Feel free to post them in the gallery. Works the same as photobucket and keeps it close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
