I've got a 12 gallon Biocube thats in a dire need of repair. A few months ago I was sold water from an aquarium store in Sacramento that's PH was off the charts acidic, and I foolishly didn't check it before I did a water change. Killed my whole tank in a matter of hours. $500+ down the drain.  :thumbdown:

I've been slowly rebuilding it and amazingly life found a way and has been slowly coming back without me doing anything. I just need to set aside a good chunk of cash and find a new aquarium store so I can rebuild it to what it was. Some pics from when it was alive and healthy though.  :down:











This sea urchin was awesome. I'd mess with it and when you poked at it, it would direct all it's spikes at wherever your finger was. It stung too, but not very bad.





Lots of things would just appear. This little nudibranch showed up one day. I found out those spikes on his back are poison filled, and when attacked, it shoots them at the attacker like missles.



Sexy shrimp are fun too.

 Wow that's pretty cool man, it's like you have a whole tide pool in there. :bath: Sucks those careless people caused such a major setback. However life is pretty tenacious so it shouldn't be long bf your tank makes a full recovery!  :crossed:

You have to be so careful with those little tanks. I own a company called FishMaster where i maintain about 40 tanks a month, so i vary rarely touch my own tank. I maybe do a water change on mine about ounce every 4 months, I do run an ozone generator though which really help keep it clean.
