Which crab is better for keeping the tank clean?? Algae eating crab or blue let hermit crab??

Well after 4 years of this hobby I have sold everything in my 10 gal nano. I have enjoyed it all but have lost a bit of interest and everything here just costs so much and with a 10 gal you are very limited as to the kinds of fish you can have. Upgrading was not an option due to cost. My heart...

Anyone have one of these little picos?? Just a bit over 1/2 gal 6x6x6

Anyone have the Azoo Razzle Dazzle Desktop Aquarium?? If so can you tell me if one would be able to keep some green button polyps, green star polyps, small mushrooms along with a shrimp, crabs, snails. NO FISH I would like to know if the light pc 7w it comes with is strong enough for those few...

Well it seems the battle is on. The big one was in a molt and I seen him inside his shell last night but the two of them are in a dead shell lock and bound and determined to get each other. Crazy crabs anyways I guess other shells are not good enough.

Well the little guy won the fight. Dam I just don't understand why in the blazes they have to fight for each others shells when there is lots of other shells in the tank for them to take. Oh well that is why I don't usually have crabs in my tank or I usually only have one. Now that little beast...

I have two blue leg hermit crabs. One is quite a bit larger than the other. I have noticed that quite often they seem to be attacking each other. Are they try to kill one another or is this a mating thing??

So sorry to hear about your tank and fish. I am soooo lucky with my two boys even though they could not care a less about the fish tanks, but they know what will happen if mom comes home and disaster has struck. They always phone us to if there are any doubts. But back to your situation. When I...

I have never seen the blue reef chromis here but they do look pretty. I love the green chromis and when they swim around you get green, blue shimmers from them. I guess it depends on what you really want to look at.

Hi, I can only speak for myself. I have an open red brain coral in my 10 gal with PC lights, but like mentioned it is a smaller tank and is doing just great. It is placed in the sand at the front. I did read that the red ones don't need as strong of light as the green but I am not sure about that.

Hi, i don't have this tank just curious about them. They look so cute and i was just wondering what you all thought about them.

Anyone here have the Tom Deco Nano Kit in either the 2 gal or 3 gal?? Any opinions about it??

First of all welcome to the most helpful forum on the internet.... You are doing things the right way by reading and getting all info first..... I myself have a 10 gal nano, they are alot of fun but you do have limits on what you can keep. First of all from my experience a nano of 10 or 14 gal...

You should wait till you have algae for it to eat. I tried on once, after it cleaned up my whole tank there was nothing left for it to eat so I tried the algae sheets but it still would not eat them so i had to trade him in. Another very bold fish that i have had 3 of is the bicolor blenny. They...

I think chromis are quite pretty check on the forums though and see if 5 would be a good number to start with. Do some research first before you get them to make sure this is a good idea. I really like them but maybe some don't.

Do you like chromis at all?? There are many kinds that you can keep like royal gramma very pretty fish, blennies, gobies etc but they require places to hide. If you don't want any fish like that then you have to look at upper swimming fish for the tank and that is why i suggested chromis...

I am no clownfish expert. The percs are always nice as you can get two of them, quite entertaining. My favorite although the most aggressive the Maroon Clownfish, I love the goldstriped ones. I think you have to make sure that you get a true pair if you get two of these ones. The skunk clowns...

What about some green chromis, a school of them would be nice as they don't require hiding places. Cardinals are another too, any of your gobies or blennies like rocks so don't know if that would work. But you do have alot of live rock so maybe one of those would work too. Wrasses are also very...

I have a Yellow Watchman Goby, pretty vibrant yellow with blue dots on the cheeks. I also have a firefish, but find he hides alot.

Looks very nice indeed..... May I just post one concern?? As suggested your one front board is cracked, if you look at the tank it is definatley showing a stress point in the middle of that area. Instead of taking the whole tank apart to fix this can you "carefully" without cracking the tank put...
