Thanks for all the input! I know the tank is small so good thing I'm fine with just having a fish or two. Haha! Next time I go to my LFS I'll see which fish they have so I can get to know their personalities a little better in person. :)

Yea the point about them hiding is my exact dilemma. I don't want to take care of fish that I'm never going to see! Haha! So I might end up doing a Wrasse.

Okay awesome! These are all great ideas. I'll definitely look and see what combo I want to do

I have a Biocube 14 and I'm just starting to look at fish that could be a good fit for it. I like Gobies but I'm not sure which ones would be good for my tank and which ones I should try to avoid because of size or other reasons. I thought the engineer goby was really cool but I don't know if...

Okay thanks so much for the info! I'll ask about the salinity next time I go.

I floated them for 20 minutes and then drained some water and added some of my tank water into the bag. Then I let them sit for about 10 or 15 minutes before placing them in the tank. I probably could have done a better job of acclimating but I still don't know all the tips and tricks with it...

Okay and I forgot to mention that the first dead crab had a small starfish latched onto it. So I assume that starfish may also eat dead crabs? (Btw I didn't put the starfish in the tank. It was already in there from the previous owner and it was so small that I didn't bother to take it out.)

Three days ago I went to my LFS and got my water tested and everything seemed to be ready for a cleanup crew. I bought: 3 Scarlet Hermits 1 Blue leg hermit 1 Zebra turbo snail 1 Cerith Snail 1 Nassarius Snail When I put everything in they all seemed to be doing well. But one of the scarlet...

The bulbs that I got with my used Biocube 14 are on the older side so I know that they should be replaced soon. I was looking on Amazon to find the ones that are in the tank now and it looks like they still sell the blue light: (...

Okay thanks for all the info! I really didn't have any ideas of what kind of fish I wanted since I'm so used to freshwater tanks so thanks for the ideas

I'm planning on keeping the fish count very low. I haven't decided on the type yet but I want to stay on the lighter side. I am wanting to get something that'll clean around the tank. Im thinking possibly some snails or shrimp but I'm not sure yet.

Okay, And typically do you know how often a tank this size will need water changes?

Hi, I've had a freshwater tank for awhile that has been going well and I was recently given a used 14gl Biocube SW tank that had been established for years. Most of the water has been drained but the sand and some rocks have been left in. I'm new to SW tanks and I have a few questions. 1. Do...
