From biocube to a 65 G with underwater sculptures

The inhabitant

Now that the tank is mostly done, time to present the inhabitants

Here's Ding and Dong, named after a french comedy team, dressed like cows




Dante the italian poet







Bull






Scarface, he was being eaten live by shrimps, they almost took one of his leg off and part of his disk. He recovered and has scars, hence, scarface, the least i could do was giving him a name.





The pine head

 

Wow! Dante is a beautiful wrasse. 8)

 

Thanks, he's been hidding for the last 5 days i'm worried now, think he's dead, i had a guest last week that pointed at him and he whent nuts never saw him again....

 

I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes Wrasses will hide as you know. Hope for the best!

 

Ya, i'll have to come to a decision in a few days i guess, aren't i.....

 

beautiful tank. you definately put a lot of hard work into it. also one of the nicest wrasses ive seen, hope all is well with him/her.

 

Better put up a no pointing sign.

 

such a wonderful design weth the rock work makes me want to redesign my tank

question how did your tank cycle ? any issues with the foam yet beside the hanging one ?

Nice job

 

Looking great, can't wait to see the upside down coral. What kind of fish is Bull?

 

The cycle was very short, only the algae succession was the same lenght of time. The rocks where dry rock no phosphate issues or anything like that. No more algae than usual, i cycle with lights at a minimum 6h/day to promote algae succession. and with full skimmer.
