yep and saltwater is expensive! whats your set up? as in what do you use as a filtering system, protain skimmer etc. do you have a sump?

thank you for the help

well after some reaserching came across this name Galatheid Crabs, you guys think its possible? they are the closest looking thing

I'm new myself to this world but what I'm guessing is you rushed things a little, as far as i know (and i don't know that much) when you put live rocks, especially if you put alot at once there are peeks of ammonia this is what might have killed your fish if the live rocks had not finished...

hmmm just realized this could be the wrong forum to try and id it, thing is that my time is limited since its in a tank with no water movement don't know how much time it can live in there, might just add a little pump i have. hope someone can help me out soon.

Hello all so got some new live rocks today went home and cleaned them a bit as i was doing so i noticed something move rapidly under a rock and this is what it was. could this be some kind of baby spider crab? can i add it to my cycling tank, will it survive?

damn, cool thx for the tip, is there a thread open about hithickers? i just got 3 more rocks and found 2 small crabs in them, good bad?

Hey dudes and duddets, Firstly I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this, i do consider it more of a tip than an actual fish discussion but yea.... I'm still eons away from buying my first fish, my tank is still cycling and my aquascaping is far from finished but i would like to...

48 gallons (180 liters), thx for the tips

alright advice taken, regarding sand I unfortunately cant get any live sand so I'm thinking of going for a mix of sands, half of it being coral ( half only since its a Little expensive) and the other half..... well the other half i don't know. this said for burrowing sand fish, water filtering...

yea I'm getting sand but want to get a few more live rocks for the base of the aquascaping, seems it reproduces quickly if not dealt with but there seems to be a couple fish who feed on them.might just get rid of it like that or do you suggest i yank it out now?

ah yeaaa!? hmmmm, will it hinder my cycle?

Hello all, Got my first 3 live rocks and found a little surprise in one of them, hope it survives. here are some pics. Did not want to get too many rocks at once since I want to take my time with this and insure the best outcome. Golden rule: take your time, right? this bit came off so i stuck...

Will do, i was thinking of making a 5cm layer of coral sand half thin and half medium grind this should allow the sand to quickly become living and act as a further filter, 5cm enough?

thats cool

yea the grid is metal I put it together roughly as test run, will def. build something more solid later, that does appear to be salt, gonna have to mix the water up a bit or simply lower the circulation pump so as to pushes water on the bottom and clean it up. having used tap water for the mix...

Thank you. Turns out you were right (did the test wrong the first time) now I get a result of; Mag.1800 mg/l - 500 mg/l cal. and I get a nice round result of 1300 mg / L
