Anyone know when the new store will be open?

I want to order some scarlet and red legged hermit crabs and I have read that you need empty shells also for them to move into as they grow. Here on SWF that have shells but list the size as 1/2 inch. Is this sufficient or has anyone ordered them and were they in varying...

Thanks, I will. I also use RO/DI water as you folks here suggested. Would it be ok if the first fish was a blenny?

Looking for suggestions for 10 gal QT tank, eg,starter kits, and what about not having setup until needed. Thanks.

I just setup a 75 gal FOWLR tank with 50 lbs. of live rock. I have a protein skimmer in the sump and was told by the LFS to leave the skimmer off for the first week to enable the bacteria to build up. Is this correct or should I have the skimmer on right from the start...................Thanks.

I have a needle valve type skimmer in a sump on my recently setup 75 gal. All it had for an adustment was a ball valve that set the water level in the main body. It was really noisy and after doing a search on this forum I found a fix that said to fill a 2 liter pop bottle with cotton balls and...

Would the Aqua C Remora, not the pro, be ok for a 75 gal. fish only. It is rated 20 - 75 but I have learned from this forum that some skimmers are overated..................Thanks.

I am also looking for a skimmer for a 75 gal FOWLR and wonder if a CPR BakPak2 rated up to 75 will work or will I need the Dual BakPak.......................Thanks.

Sorry, it is a 230 w.

Anyone have experience with this hood. It says 2-65w true daylight and 2-65w actinic. It also states no fans but has heat expansion bands. I want to put on a 75gal saltwater fish only wit maybe some live rock. Appearance is not a consideration as I have a canopy to go over...
