Hey.......this is what I can find on the web. I do not know if this holds true for the kind of crabs you buy from the LFS.....but I would tend to think it would. Hope this helps..... Horseshoe crabs have a hard shell, or exoskeleton made of chitin. To grow, the crab must shed it exoskeleton by...

Thanks Bruce........I do have about 3" LS and want to add more. Any suggestions? The lfs has live sand in 25lb. bags..........would this work?

Hey all, I have a 5 gal. that a buddy gave to me. Will this work as a QT tank, or is it to small? I was thinking of using 5 gal. from my 65gal. if a fish was to get sick. Is this a bad idea? I would put a little filter and heater to keep the water temp up to par.

I bought 3 Lbs. of LR and set it between some base rock that had no life at all. Now a just a few weeks later I noticed some purple on the Base rock. I moved the rock around and there is more purple on other rocks now. Can the live rock make other rock live that quick? I want to add some...

All, I have two Percula Clownfish that I picked up from my LFS. One looked a little larger in the belly than the other...........but it has been three days and now I notice that it looks like it is pregnant. Is this possible and what do if it is? What type of young does the clown have (live...

How do I get rid of the diatoms that are in my tank? My tank just cycled two weeks ago. I have added some turbo snails and a three sally light foot's to clean up some of the diatoms. Any suggestions would be great.

My amonia and nitrate levels are at or just about zero. The guy at the LFS said that he would just put a Puffer fish in to remove the Damsels.....Let me tell ya....getting the damsels out of that tank can be a real pain. I was fishing for one the other night ...(had a white spot on it's tail)...

I have a 65 gal. tank that is getting brown algae on the bottom of the tank. It is on the coral, sandl, and is starting to get all over everything. The guy at the lfs said that my tank is at the end of the cycle and that it is a good sign to see. Should I expect any other algae green or...

Thanks all for the info.....the tank was cared for by a college student who went back to school. His parents did not know how to run the tank so it went down hill after a month and here we are today. The reason why Hector...that is his name, is selling the tank is that he no longer lives in...
