    New Biocube 8!

    Pics would be great. I guess I can always toss a bag of carbon in the back for a short time if I need to. The filter floss you run all the time as well?

    New Biocube 8!

    Also thinking about your post... I should run the cycle without the filter, but put the filter in after the cycle is over correct?

    Silicone work

    I just finished gettiing my overflow in the tank with silicone. Was actually more annoying than I thought it would be. It looks more messy than I would like. This was the one part of building this tank that I was not looking foward to doing. At this point though, if it holds for the fresh...

    Cleaning Plexi-glass

    OK, I cut the plexi-glass overflow box out of my old tank and im trying to clean it up for the new tank. From what I understand, I should get all the old silicone off to ensure a good clean surface to silicone into the new tank. So far, im cleaning the old stuff off with a razor blade, but...
