That hitchhiker crab have is prob a gorilla crab which equals bad for your corals and fish. They grow fast. Get him out of tank

They are just as bad as apitasia and will reproduce quickly.

It's a majano anemone it needs to be removed

Cool I was just curious. Mine last pretty long but the tds of water in is only around 150-160. Glad your tank is in

Your doin right by taking your time. Sometimes we lose stuff when transferring. It's sad but it happens. Hopefully they all make it.

Doug do you use a tds meter for your ro water? I remember seeing your filters and I was just wondering

That's why I also pointed out that with no substrate it should be easy to syphon out of the tank

Don't worry about the algae. It will go away once your biological system evens out. You can syphon out the debris to remove it. Make sure the algae doesn't grow on the acros. Plus you can add more cleaner crews. I just stared using a bio-pellet reactor a week and a half ago. It's supposed to...

I just got done catching up on your thread and must say good job on the rebuild. Really like the aquascaping. Can't wait to see how it matures in the future.

I really like the reef octopus ones. They are a bit more expensive. But when it comes to skimmers I found that's it's better to buy they best you can afford. It makes it easier with upgrading the system later. This hobby is very addicting and it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. I also feel that you...

Octopus makes nice ones. Also red sea and CPR.

Just wanted to say hi I don't have much time right now. I've been keeping mixed reefs for about 5 years now. I'm totally addicted and love it. Right now I have just a 110 mainly sps tank that I just started stocking a few months ago. I'm excited to join a new forum and looking forward to getting...

I have had salt get hard In a bucket before and broke it up and it was fine. I would definitely test it also before use
