Finally got that salt tank...

[Ballyhoo]

I <3 brains

Got a new bulb 10,000k instead of 50/50. It was an accident but I like it.

 

[greech]

Might want to cut the light cycle with a new bulb. Are you getting good deals on those brains?

 

[Ballyhoo]

I'm going to do a full cycle with the new bulbs and see how they do before I cut it back.
The Brains are 40$ at my lfs

They've got some healing/regrowing to do, but they look very pretty. Glad you finally got that bulb replaced, your nem should be much happier now

Poor trachys.. as long as the skeletons stay clean it should regrow.

I clean the sand off of the skeletons at least once a day, more if need be. I'm going to have to rearrange things after my nem relocated and I got this new brain, it's skeleton is very large and now that it's puffed up it is too close to the glass. Seems to have multiple heads/mouths though.

 

[Arakkis]

not bad.. store must be dumping the brains since $40 ea is quite cheap, looks like bali witht he green and blue. are you running any carbon, chemipure?

 

[Ballyhoo]

I'm not running anything chemical at all. I don't know how I'd set that up in my system. My lfs has a lot of brains that are full in their expensive tanks. I find mine in the discount row. Sometimes I'm convinced they mislabel things or hide them in there to see who looks really closely.

Here's one i recently got

Day0 -------------------------> Day80

every once in a while you find a diamond in the rough in the discout bin. I had a metallic trachy in my 57gal that i sold to a buddy for $35 of seawater, it morphed in his led tank into an aussie 7 color trachy (retails circa $300~$500) lol oops.

I'd run at least some chemipure. 1 unit should be enough on this tank, the best place i can think of would be in the back-center compartament of the cube. remove the grate and the bioballs, they're not really necessarry. it'd be a good time to vac out the sump area as the next WC. It'll last circa 3 months and help against chemical warfare since it's a small tank, the softies are def gonna fight a little.
