It was actually no bigger than an Emerald Crab...hitchhiker I guess.

Why not a center overflow and build the reef around it?

Ok no pics because the camera was not around but the crab is long gone and dead, almost lost it again when I had it in confinement because the cup slipped out of my hand. Thanks for the help.

Ok go it out and man is it ugly lol. I should say she because it looks like she has eggs beneath her. Pics tonight.

Ya I am going to try tonight to get rid of him, the other crab is so small I don't think it is a threat yet plus I can't find him either.

I heard from a LFS that do not let salt dry on them, rinse with FW preferably RO/DI everytime your done with them. He said the salt will dry then dissolve again causing the reading to be off. That said a refractometer is a better choice but if your consistent in practices the hydrometer...

Try Something Fishy(www.toofishy.com), just SW fish and accesories, no big tanks(unless they order them for you) but they do carry small nano's and everything is priced GREAT! I got four $2.00 frags yesterday, thats right TWO DOLLARS!. I very wide selection of fish and corals. I also go to...

Ya I get your point, I think I may still pick one up anyway. Just not sure which one I like more.

It was suggested they sand sift when they get bored via an article online. So I guess it is wrong then.

I have heard that Yellow Watchman's and similar gobies in size will sift and stir up the sand but not to a degree like their bigger cousins. I was told they can and may do it but don't rely on it but I was still skeptical. So is this true? I have snails doing that for me now but they don't...

So should I actively try and catch him? I also saw another crab tonight, very tiny and basically popped up out of nowhere. The thing seriously shot up like rocket. It is about the size of a head on a plastic pushpin. So much life in just 3 rocks.

Dirving halfway sounds good, I honestly would love the clown pair I'm just afraid they would suffer in a little aquapod. I could also use some test kits, what else you have?

Hrmm I would love both but I think a 12g Aquapod might be a little tight for 2 clownfish. I'll ask my wife about the smaller one though. Would you ship? I am day away as far as UPS & Fedex are concerned.

The more & more I stare at my tank looking at the crab who rarely ventures from his hide hole in the rock he really resembles this one: So not an Emerald Crab at all, I will try again to get a picture of him but it is very hard. He hides almost immediatley when approaching the tank. The...

This guy will get to big for my nano so I need something that won't or anything else that will work good in a nano be it coral or fish. Plus he will do better in a group. He currently is active and heathly as far as I can tell.

Just spoke with them and they will not give me my money back just a discount on a new fish...hrmmm. I'm starting to wonder if it is worth my trouble to drive back now.

The LFS said this guy would be good in my 12g aquapod yet Live Aquaria, Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Zebra Barred Dartfish says otherwise. Should I exchange him for something more sutied to a nano like a Goby or smaller Firefish? I am just worried he might outgrow the...

Update: He poked his head out of the aquascape so he appears fine but I'm starting to wonder if he really is a Emerald Crab, not really green at all, mostly just brown.

Well I don't know really where it is, :n00b:. Basically the layout I had I could see him easily now, I have no idea where he is. So that is why I was worried. :sorry: I forgot which hole it is.

Well the reason I ask is he has buried himself inside the lr somewhere where my fingers can't reach. I have been aquascaping a bit and I don't want to kill him by covering up his escape hole but my efforts to get hit out have been fruitless. I have heard about a fw dip but that just seems a...

UPDATE: Decieded it was in my best interest to make my own water from now on since the store's salinity was a bit off. 1.0018 says the hydrometer. Using Seachem's reef salt as it came highly recommended so this bag should last me a long time if only changing 2-3 gallons at a time. Got some...

No I either buy RO/DI in gallon jugs to mix my own salt(if I deciede to do that) or I get it from the LFS. They premix it for their tanks and everything is alive and healthly so I rather use theirs to cut down on my overhead. Like I said I live in an apartment so I either buy premixed or gallon...

So I was told you are supposed to use a turkey baster to "blow off" the die off on LR after it is in the tank. Also when I setup the tank the water was cold(long drive from the LFS) and it seems I haven't killed off everything by using cold water because I had a couple of hitchhickers as well...

The thing that is really awesome about the Solaris is the dimming capability since they are just high powered LED's. Simple voltage regulator and VOLA! Dusk/Dawn effect, **** the thing will even randomize itself like the weather does. New and exciting yes, if I have a lottery hit it will be my...

Yes Sadie you reiterated what the fish store wrote down for me, she even suggested upsizing to a Maxijet 900 if the future for better coral and fish health but said to start out the standard pump is fine. They have a special on Damsels buy one get one free and a very nice $10 frag tank. It is...
