O.K. for those of you following my poor crab tank saga LOL!I took my kit and water sample to the LFS today and my Nitrite test is right.It's still high.They said I shouldn't change the water.That only help Nitrates?I did by a little LR.The only cured they had was all to big.I did get just over 1...

O.K. my trites are still up.I did a 50% change lastnight and their was no change.I checked out home water and it had 0 trites.So i know it must not be the water i'm using.I'm working on doing a 3/4 change now.I'm also gonna go get a plant to see if that would help.Does that sound like a good idea?

I'm working on getting a set up from someone and they have this in their sand.They offered to take the sand out and clean it but i need the good bacteria.Is their a way i can kill it?I want to get it but need to know whether i should worry or not?

Originally Posted by Dmitry You're feeding too much. It's good to supplement hermit crabs' diet with pellets and such, but they also find things to eat naturally (algae that grows in every aquarium.) So you're giving them too many pellets, which start rotting before they can get to them. Oh i...

O.K. it's a 10 gallon take with filter and heater.It has 2 large hermit crabs and 1 small.I'm feedin about 8 little pellets every other day or so.It's very bare i know.I'm affraid to do much to it with it being small.I have to add this wasn't on purpose.I actually set up the tank after finding...

I've changed 1/3 of the water yesterday and today.Now my Nitrates are up again.I don't want my crabs to die

The research i done says Hermits don't eat theirs.They absorb what they need out of the old exoskeleton before they shed it.I always pull it out.The first time mine molted i thought a crab had died

Were in TN. im in North AL

Title says it all.Tell me your opinions I really gotta get my crabby's moved.As i'm worried about these 10 gallon.So i'm getting a 20 and 55 gallon.I'm going to put them in 1 of those.I want to buy some LS and rock but not alot of $$.Wish i could find some FS in budget.So i was thinking i could...

O.K. i did about a 1/3 water change yesterday and it's still the same.I can't figure it out.I seriously am only feeding a very small amount.I actually didn't feed for 2 days but felt bad for the crabs.Is their anything else that could be making it stay high?Maybe something i'm not testing for?My...
