I'm missing the point about the hermit to the sump?
What has that have to do with scratching the acrylic tank?

hahaha.
my hermits alwas try to climb on the silicone OoO
and they always walk and scatch on my glass aquarium, so if I upgrade to a acrylic, I might need to put them in the refugium or sump.
does this make more sense hahahah
I am planning to get any 75+ gal tank that the price is good.
and I will turn this 46gal into a sump and my 20gal sump will become my refugium, XP
big plan~ need some time to search for that arcylic tank, and more planning on make my stand bigger. as well as get a better job LOL
OH, TC u have an arcylic tank right?

my clowns accepted each other, they sleep together at night, stay really close to each other while feeding, the smaller one always follow the big one.
and today I saw them cleaning the PVC I put in the middle of the tank, I think they like the PVC and probably gonna host it LOL

so brutal~ 10:11pm: the crab is not fully dead yet, I still see it legs move a little from time to time....why...why my shrimps and snails r so mean.

sigh, just did water test yesterday and everything its fine, really the only reason its probably don't have enough food. can't think of any other reason.
still have 2 em crab in refugium, but probably won't put them to the DT, my DT have enough cleaning crews.

I do have an acrylic tank and I love it. The seams are bonded together unlike a glass tank that uses silicon glue so a hermit crab would not be able to climb up the seams. It scratches pretty easy. That said, once you come to grips with that and are a little careful it's okay. Like I said underwater it's hard to see the scratches so if you see an empty acrylic tank It more then likely would look pretty bad. Most of the minor scratches disappear once the tank is filled. If you have children in the house this is the safest tank to have. It is very strong. My tank is bent around so there is only seams in the back and the top and bottom.

And I read it's a lot easier to take scratches out of acrylic than out of glass.
Ya it is, considering you can not take the scratches out of glass. You can buy filler stuff to fill in the scratches on acrylic tanks.

guess I have to be very careful taking care of a acrylic tank.
but probably won't happen till next year, need $$$ XP thanks for the suggestion tho ^^
gonna take care of this 46gal first, and if I can make this look better, I will go for a bigger tank.

I don't know LOL
I thought they r gonna clean it and host the PVC, but they keep cleaning when the lights r on, and once I turn the lights off, they swim to the same corner every night.
maybe I should say interesting instead of weird~

found out another funny thing about my firefishes
the smallest one like the chase the two bigger one.
the two bigger one swim into a hole and the smaller will follow, then the bigger ones will swim out and find another hole. LOL then the smaller one will go search for the bigger ones and swim into the same hole.
over night the one who chasing others, its fins will get nipped off OoO
I was trying to remove it to the sump, but it just swim too fast LOL.
Poor thing~
