The Sally Lightfoot is a very popular crab species for the home aquarium. They are very active crabs, picking at algae constantly. Their body is flat and brown in color. Both their body and legs are marked with yellow. The Sally Lightfoot is lighting quick and are voracious algae eaters. These...

Let me secure a camera and everything before I give it a go. Probably in about a week when I get the time. I'll start a new thread when it goes down.

I had a sally light foot loose its two inner legs on both sides for no apparent reason one time. I just saw my nassarious dragging them under the sand. They came back... if I remember correctly.

I just started up my first reef tank. The tank has been set up for about 6 months and the first corals went in three weeks ago. First was a single mushroom. She's grown nice and big since then and I'm ready to try something new. I've only got one. I was going to cut it at the base then quarter...

Take Rusy J's advice.

You let it cycle like a tank. One cycle and it's ready to go. I cured about 200 lbs once. I let it sit in the water for a week, pulled it out, scrubbed it off, rinced it off, did a water change and put it back in. The amonia goes through the roof when curring rock.

Mag drive pumps are great. I have a 900 and it's dead silent. Take the impeller out and check it over. Check out the magnet and the fan itself. it is rare that the actual fan will crack but I have seen it happen. This piece can be replaced. You have to replace the whole impeller though. $20...

I just bought a rock of ricordias from SWF and they were opened and basking in the light that evening. I'm not an experienced reefer so this made me really happy.

Man, I'll tell you what. If you ever get up to Rochester NY check out The Reef Shoppe. (www.t_******e.com) Fist of all Tom the owner has a great sence of class, style and design. On top of the most fantastic display tanks I have ever seen the atmosphere is top. Jazz music, coffee and an...

It's so damn hot around here. I need to get an air conditioner for the house or a chiller. Either way, I'm going to have to leave work and obtain one or the other before I head home. I have no clue where I'm going to find a decent window air conditioner this time of year so I may be stuck buying...

That little guy is sweet.

A Yumma is just a ricordia correct? Same water conditions, same care. Been an ongoing question in my head.

Done!

Correct me if I'm wrong but: Camel back shrimp are mistaken for peppermints a lot and are not all that reef safe.

It really makes me appreciate it though. When I see it I get excited like it's something rare. It's always a mystery as to what I'm going to see in the tank even though I know it's in there.

Well, I put my White Stripe Maroon and my Fridmani Pseudochromis in my new 75 gal two weeks ago today. The Maroon was a little big to completely hide but the Pseudochromis was absent until last night. I saw her poke her head out and look up at me. I was floored. I thought I had lost her. Anyone...

The big [hr] (not SWF so it was deleted? LOL) I need a chiller. I don't really think that is in question. I'm not going to put anything more in my tank until I solve this problem. I have two internal pumps. Maxijet 1200 (skimmer) in sump and a SEIO 1500, in tank. I have a Mag Drive 900...

Well my tank is running HOT. It's usually around 85 at night and 87 when lights are on. The house is real hot and my roomate refuses to ever open a window. I'm suprised I stay alive in there. My mushroom is doing fine as are the fish but I'm not going to add anything until I get this problem...

nice rics

I got it with a shippment of critters. First coral or not it's in the tank. My job now is to keep it alive.
