    Mt astra snails do the best claning in my tank. I'm partial to red leg hermits also. HTH

    scratches?

    Last time I checked around, it was not possible to repair the scratch. Especially while the tank was full. One glass shop I contacted said it'd probably be easier to replace the glass panel than to try and repair it. I'm living with my scratch for now.

    ?

    My dottyback harassed my six line until it jumped out the tank. Mine seems to be aggressive toward smaller slinder fish. I'll be glad when I can get him out.

    Tips on catching a crab...

    I have a hitcher crab that may or may not be attacking my emerald and hermit crabs. I have spotted it on several occassions at the entrance to it's lair, but never have I seen it do anything harmful. I'd like to catch it and ID it so that I know for sure. Any suggesting would be helpful.

    When is the best time of day to test your water?

    I test at night, usually between 8 - 10, but just because that's when it's convenient for me. I do however, always test at this time. That way the conditions are the same. HTH

    anyway around not using a R/O system

    You have several options. LFS should sale both R/O and pre mixed salt water. Our local grocery store has a R/O dispenser that I use. I do test the water before using to make sure it has no phosphates. They do a real good job of changing the filters when it's time. HTH

    cleaner crew????

    Based on what is less money. Item for item SWF.com is cheaper that purchasing from my LFS. But the difference is I don't have to spend a min of $75 dollars. I can purchase any amount worth at a time from LFS. But if you want several thigs at a time, I think you'll find it cheaper in the long...

    S.a.t.???

    Just purchased some myself today. LFS says that it works real great. Based on his advise, says it takes about 3-4 weeks to kill off the excess. Then it has to be cleaned up. He hasn't used any himself, but says others have been please with the outcome. I have also read another post by...

    Can you order just an individual item?

    At one time I thought you could buy an individual item and pay freight. Now all I see are packages and U-Build It. Did they do away with this option?

    Receiving order at work...

    How long after I receive my order do I have to get them into my tank? Taking off is not always an option. How long some of you wait before getting home with your new arrivals?
