What about a stone crab? Someone from another site thought that was it, and does resemble it. Melosu58 I need to update my tank info. CC star is gone.

Can anyone help me identify this crab? is it reef safe? I think its a mangrove crab but not positive. thanks Sorry for the bad picks, try to get better ones if needed.

Recently decided to upgrade to a 150 gal and use my 90 as a sump. Now i am on the market for a skimmer and found a local ASM G4x W sedra 9000. I was hoping for a new skimmer and was looking at the Octopus skimmers. Is this the same company as ASM was. Which is a better skimmer? anyone have any...

after all the feed back I have added some changes to the tank. Today I just bought a skimmer. Decided to go with a used MRC MR 1. Now the question is should i add it to my refuge or keep it in the sump that it came with. Any ideas? He gave me two pumps. The Gen x and a Quite one. I will add pics

Local guy said he would sell me a MRC MR1 with a gen x pump without impeller. Skimmer has a leak in the inlet, says its an easy fix. for $130. Is this a good deal or should i keep shopping? thanks for the help?

Alright i have a whole new game plan in effect. I ended up going to my lfs and bought a 90 gal predrilled with sump for $200. Great price! The sump does not have a skimmer, any recommendations. I will be setting it up next week and moving all the LR and LS to the new tank. I will add some pics...

I had two cannister filters when my tank was full. I had n eheim and a fluval. The eheim ran as a regular filter and the fluval was just for carbon. After my tank crashed i cleared it out and am only running the eheim filter which it does have some media but i change the carbon out monthly. I...

Its been a while since i have posted on here. I had a huge power outage at my place and lost every fish and coral in my tank:( Who would think that power would be out for 6 days (we live in the city) and the house was down to 32 degrees at night. anyways, I have the tank up and going again and...
