uk nano cube 24 thread with pics

[grink dude]

ok so i keep setting up threads here and there, and i am making this one my final one.

I have a stock nano cube 24, i have removed ceramic rings and the bioballs, because they are nitrate factories. i have 26 lbs of lr, but it was light, so i would say it was the equivalent of about 30lbs. Also it is very porous, which means i have more surface area. At the moment i have:

1 black and white clownfish (called sushi)
1 sixline wrasse (called ziggy lol)
1 very shy emerald crab (Peter)
! peppermint shrimp, he has no name
and 1 pulsing xenia frag.
i am hoping to get a midas blenny today, and maybe a cleaner shrimp. here are the pics as of 10 minutes ago

here are my babies
sushi the clown

ziggy the sixline

and peter the emerald crab

so what does everyone think of my tank??

Awesome aquascaping, I am jealous.

Midas Blennies are so cool. I didn't see one until I had my current tank stocked, I am getting one for my upcoming Bio Cube.
Be sure to post pics of the Blenny if you get one.

 

[grink dude]

Hi all,
Basic question. How many electric cords are there on a 24 gal? It's an Aquapod 24. I've ordered it, but haven't gotten it yet. Might have to do some electrical work before we set it up.
Also, I assume they are three prong plugs. Is this correct?

 

[grink dude]

i have the nano cube not the aquapod, but i have 3 plugs, one for the heater, one for the pump, and one for the lighting/fans ballast. and yes i am using 3 pin plugs.

ok so i was bored, and i know people like pictures, so i am going to post some. the camera is shi* by the way, so excuse the crappy pics.:

looks nice! Good aquascaping!

 

[grink dude]

thanks, i don't know why, but the tank was blurry, and it made the pictures blue. i have no idea why, but it looks nice like that

 

[slam308]

Grink,
I'm in the States. Didn't think about the fact that the plugs are probably different here. I'm still in a turkey induced coma.
Love the cave! Cool tank.

 

[grink dude]

cool, i saw my crab today after like 1 week, it's good because i was starting to get worried

 

[grink dude]

Ok here is the new aquascape, it hasn't gone through a major change, but it is more tsturdy, and there are cool places for coral now

so here is my tank as of a few minutes ago.

 

[grink dude]

the aquascape above fell apart, so i changed it again, but i'm not pleased, so i am going to do one final change when i have the time

 

[eyebedam]

Looks good. I see uour like the rest of us always striving for perfection with your aquascaping.

 

[grink dude]
