    Arrow crab question

    I have 1 in my 60 Hex.. I never saw him damage anything while I had coral in there.. He just scavenged the rock for leftovers.. I vote.. Keep him until you witness undesirable activity. They are Cool looking too. Like something out of a movie..

    Corals dying - need chiller - suggestions?

    An Unusual Hosting? And some survivors.

    Well, Im still struggling to keep my temp below 85. I took a few shots of what survived the 94 degree day. I completely covered the window to keep the sun out. My AC will hopefully be fixed shortly. PS. The aptasia's are gone. I traded a small zoo frag for 3 Peppermint shrimp and a goby. It took...

    ICE - How much do I add ? I am having a nervous breakdown..

    To purchase a chiller would be kind of impractical. This is an emergent situation due to my homes "CHILLER" popping the compressor outside. I need to get that fixed first, but that cant happen for about 3 weeks.

    When I do select one of the poisons to kill these little [hr] , (JoesJuice or lime juice, from what I have read here.) I would derive some pleasure if I could use a very fine needle and stick it with the stuff ( I could use a 27gauge, insulin type) Or should just squirt it on the top of...
