I'll take those zoo's off your hands for you Where you at in Michigan, i'm near Brighton

I picked this guy up yesterday at a LFS

Looks great!! Are you running the stock lights?

Ok, so over the weekend I was able to get two 16.5" T5 bulbs mounted in the canopy, in addition to the stock PC's!!! One bulb is an 18watt Actinic and the other was a 10K daylight. There is a single refelctor that goes around both bulbs. After finishing the job and lighting it up for...

The heat shield arrived today, so heres a few pics to start with. I picked up some 16 awg stranded wire at the hardware store so I can lengthen the wires between the bulbs and the ballast. Once I opened the Nova Fixture, it looks like I can easily reuse the housing to hold 2 ballasts with the...

Well, I have ordered a new heatshield from nanotuners - the one for their 144w 29g biocube kit. I have some 16.5 inch T5 HO bulbs 18watts each(10k and actinic) with the endcaps and a 2 bulb ballast. I'm going to add this to the stock lighting on my Biocube. Its going to take a little...

Thanks for the tip but that zoo is super glued pretty solid. I glued it down when I was doing a watewr change so the water level was low enough that I could take a rag and get the rock really dry and the glue held real well. The powerhead with the Hydorflo on it is a rio 800 (that was a tip...

about 30lbs of live rock, and about 20 lbs of sugar sand (i'm in the process of slowly adding more sand, I have a pistol shrimp digging tunnels all over the place)

I still have allot to learn about this camera but I snapped a couple shots while looking for a brown crab hitchiker I have been trying to identify. Anyhow, the tank has been up and running for a little more than 2 months so far. I WILL get better with this camera, eventually. Thanks for looking.

I'll try to get a better look at his claws, he is so elusive, not sure how I will catch him to get rid of him. I also should mention that my Goby does not like this crab one bit. He will chase him into his cave just about anytime he sees it.

how do i delete this post?

heres a few more

ok, these pics arent the greatest either but this guy is pretty elusive. Can anyone tell what kind of crab this is from these pics? I'll still try to get more....

I have been trying to get another picture but this crab is very skittish. It does not like the light either. I think I finally found a cave that he has been hiding in and can get him to sort of come out real quick to get a piece of food when I feed the tank. I'll try to stand ready with the...

Originally Posted by cpbirds407 I can't see the crab... By the way...what kind of fish is that yellow one on the pic? Thanks! I'll try to get a better pic if I see him come out again. This is the first time I have seen it in over 2 months so I had to act fast when I saw it... The yellow fish...
