well its around 1/2" across, two claws about the same size, it appears to have hair all over the shell and legs.

haha, what kind of crab is it?

well I added the first fish yesterday: a bicolor pseudochromis. I also moved the zoa frag that was in my 10g into the 36g because it had been nearly destroyed by my peppermint shrimp. In the three days since that happened there are already more polyps open on the frag. Today I also moved the...

Today I moved my peppermint shrimp and some live rock from my 10g to a 5g hex and I just saw this crab in the tank. I never saw it in the tank before but I'd like to know if its a good or bad crab. Thanks in advance!

Well that solves that. They are actually all over in the tank and sump. When I looked even more closely they are flat and white and have two antennae on the front and some seem to have a "tail" on the back.

I have an astrea snail that was transplanted from my 10g to my 36g and today it wasnt moving so I figured it had died. I went to pull it out of the tank but when I looked really close I noticed that there were tons of tiny white creatures all over the glass. Could it be that the snail...

are they good or bad? I was at the pet store and they had a fighting conch. The thing in my tank looks exactly like the fighting conch, but i never added a conch and I have never see any sign of one in the tank.

I was looking in my tank the other day and saw what looked almost like a tiny elephant trunk coming out from under the rock. I would almost think it is a nassarius snail (I had two but one disappeared) but this is much bigger than the snail was and is BLACK rather than white/gray. It would...

I have had an Eclipse Hexagon for alittle while now and I've decided to set it up to a zoa frag or two and maybe a clown goby. I've been searching for info about mods to improve the tank but i'm having trouble finding any good info. I know Coralife sells a [hr] in 50/50 20w bulb, will this...

Hmm IDK how much water I can add to mine and be comfortable. Maybe I'll try making the pipe longer so its under the water further.

No, we released it. (He's my cousin) It was caught in Tampa Bay and weighed an estimated 100 lbs.

When I did my plumbing I put a ball valve on the return line. I decided to slowly close it to see if I could stop the noise. I closed it half way and the noise completely went away. I never put a tee with a piece of hose going back into the sump and I don't want to end up overworking the pump so...

I'm not scared but I need DARK to sleep

I'll probably end up doing the same thing eventually. Although my girlfriend really wants to set up a 6 gallon hex I have as a "shrimp tank" haha

I really like the clean look with everything hidden. I read something about running the plant light in the sump when the regular light is off in order to help keep ph up among other things. Once I get doors built I think I'm going to try that, but I'd never be able to sleep with the light on...

Good to hear. I also have the 18" version of the light which is 2x18w so if it wouldn't have been enough I could always throw that on too. We also still need to build the doors for the stand but who needs them to get the thing running. So far I LOVE the bowfront look. For some reason it makes...

MINE IS THE SAME WAY! He constantly tries to pull snails off the glass and he pretty much totally destroyed a zoa frag I just added. I had a 4 stripe damsel and they seemed to get along fine but then the damsel disappeared one day. I had to move the tank like two days after that so I tore the...

Thanks! Do you guys think the Nova 2x24w light will be enough for like zoa's and some others beginner corals?

Thanks! The stand cost me ~$75 to build compared to the $150 the LFS wanted for one and this one looks WAY better! As far as a stocklist goes, I'm not totally sure. For one thing I'm not sure what I want to do with the peppermint shrimp. I've had the thing for around 8 months, since it was less...
