scarlet hermit's do better in groups as they tend to be more social in groups
the peppermint shrimp are more nocturnal and come out more at night
you know if you lower that heater lower to the sand bed you could hide it , I've seen some build a cage to for the heater out of egg crate than cover it with rock rubble ,
your tank is coming along ,
my coral just arrived guess I'll be busy for a bit
I'll post a pict of the cage I mentioned a little later
Nothing I have read said they like groups
it's just from personal experience I think what it is is they feel more secure in numbers
Here's a pict of the heater cage that can be covered with rubble rock this just makes a tank with out a sump look nicer as a heater can be a eye sore to some on the back wall
these are just little tips you may be interested in ,
your tank is looking good can't wait to see it in a few months
this also will protect the heater from getting broken
Coming along nicely Caleb!

That's a neat idea! I really like it if I can get some smaller rubble rock that's pre-cured. Where can I find eggcrate to make the cage?
Thanks guys! It's turning out so much better than I dreamed it would. Guess I have a better thumb for salty than I do a green thumb for plants. Oh well we will see

This has went so well Caleb. I've been watching from the start as a SW is in my near future. Glad its worked out.
Thanks man! I'll watch your thread as well if you put one up

It will technically be my wife's thread (miss TMRC) but you can guess who will be doing maintenance/ water changes/ stocking.
Panic mode: On.
I found a worm crawling on the sand ad when I turned my lights on! Remove it? Keep it for CUC?

^THIS^^Harmless bristleworm. Excellent member of a CUC. I have tons, there are different colors as well. My hands have been ask in my tank and sump and I still have never been stung. Dunno if I'm lucky or I'd out just really isn't that common. I have a buddy that has a ton of the huge red ones and they get him all the time. Just don't grab him I guess. LOL
