?? I had found a hitchhiker.. a blue legged crab with these mean pinchers. He was beating up on my sea cucumber. Should I remove him and aviod blue legged crabs altogether?>

I am almost done with my stand. I am finishing up the paint on the inside, then I need to make the doors. My goal was to make a stand that was 1)deep enough to house my 20g sump; 2)stronger than the previous MDF stand; 3)secured the tank on the sides, to prevent dancing off the stand if there...

So, first blog ever..on one of our most awesome endeavors we have embarked on together. one week ago we started our first saltwater. currently have 2 fresh (90gal & 20 hex), have always wanted salt! we had a 55 gal long waiting to make into another fresh, well, we love live rock sooo much, we...

Hi everyone, Me and my mrs are totally new to marine setups, and we have just added our first pets to our 80l orca nano. We have one tiny blue legged hermit crab and one tiny striped legged hermit crab.... That is it so far ......... we need to add the rest of our crew what would you...

Hi everyone After reading loads and keeping tropical fish for a few years I finally took the plunge and purchased a 80l orca reef setup. After setting up the water (with RO) adding live rock and live sand I played the waiting game...... After three weeks the water parimeters droped to acceptible...

I have to get some RO fresh water and do that today:) And oh so many other things!!!! Hope everyone has a good day

Project of the day (a few days actually), create this: build a canopy, enclose the back and refinish my stand to match the cabinets in our new place. first I had to strip the polyurethane off the stand. it's a clearcoated pine stand that I got as part of the 55 gal. tank/stand deal about 12...

My 10 yr old boy Chase loves daddys fish tanks and loves helping so Santa is bringing one home to him for Christmas. Not bad for a hundred dollars the whole set up tank corals skimmer and a 130 watt pc light on a 10 gallon. I will bring it home on Christmas Eve before he comes over, what do you...

:help: Hi everyone ... I have set up a 180 ltr Juwel Rio tank. The tank is filtered by 20/21kg of good quality Fiji Rock and I am using a Deltec 300 protein skimmer. Circulation is provided by a Koralia 3 turbo pump and the original internal Juwel power head. Currently I have three yellow...

About a week ago I went to the lfs and picked up a few fish: 2 percula clowns and a royal gramma basslet. I put said fish in the tank on Monday night after lights out. Upon my return from work on Tuesday. The clowns were dancing away in the current and having a grand old time. When I began my...

Hope this dosn`t sound to stupid. I set up a small marine tank 3 weeks ago. Took lots of advice and have live sand,live rock,pump,2 red legged hermit crabs and 1 Turbo snail. Crabs seem happy feeding in the sand and the live rock,but I`m not sure about the snail. Is there anythig I...

well the tank has been up for about 5 weeks and although I dont have the nice pics like you guys yet I figured I would share. Well in the first pic if you look in the middle in the opening you can see the two feather dusters that grew from my LR. They are acutally popping up everywhere I just...

I need a good sand sifter, looking for some suggestions, maybe something tha will eat detritus too, i thought cucumbers were good for this, but i know they can release unwanted things if stressed, any ideas will be appreciated. I have a 24g aquapod for reference, don't want anything to large.

I have a 75 gal tank that has been up for about a month, it was started with Live Rock and Live sand. I have a lot of junk that has shed off my Live Rock And I would like to get it cleaned up and looking good. Here is what I have so far for a Cleanup Crew: 3 Mithrax crabs (2 green, 1 red) 6...

i did some reading on strawberry hermit crabs. most of the information i have found says they are land hermits that like saltwater ponds. what would be a good large hermit crab? i am thinking about building a hermit crab aquarium. thats all thats going in. sand, live rock, and several large...

Hey guys! Well, I'm learning more and more everyday. Now I have a couple questions about certain inverts and how many to put in a 10g. Here are the inverts I am liking right now: Turbo Snails Astrea Snails Cortez Red Legged Hermits Peppermint shrimp My LFS has them listed as Cortez Red legged...

Well, I know it is partially my fault, but green hair algae has all but ruined my love of this hobby. My tank has looked like an Irish Chubaka since late November. I had the entire tank disassembled in late January when it was moved from Woodbury to Cottage Grove and the entire tank scrubbed and...
