Hiya, I've been trying to get scarlet legged hermits for my tank, but anyone carries in my area are red legged hermits. Are they the same thing? Meadbhb

Hiya, Bigarn...cool! Thanks! I appreciate the input. Meadbhb

Hiya, My local LFS has some anemone crabs. They told me they are reef safe. Do they need an anemone to be happy or do they have any special requirements? Will they host a coral? I was told I have about 3 1/2 watts per gallon, so I'm pretty sure I couldn't keep an anenome in my tank. Even a...

Hiya, About feeding them. I only have one peppermint shrimp, turbos and nass. snails in the tank. No fish...husband would prefer I not put any in there. So, I'm not feeding the tank, except for adding calcium. So, when I start adding corals should I start feeding the tank? If so, with what...

Hiya, Can you add as many corals to a tank as you want as one time, or is it like fish and you need to add them slowly so as not to overload the bioload? Meadbhb

Hiya, Sigh..Sounds like they won't make it in a 37 gallon newly set up tank. Oh, well, one of these days I'll have a tank big enough for either a scooter or a manderine. Though...don't tell the hubby this! Meadbhb

Hiya, Sorry to hear about your scooter. I'm thinking of getting one of these for my tank. How long did you have him and did he require any special diet like the manderine? Meadbhb

Hiya, Okay...it's called a scooter blenny. There's a picture of it on this website. The site said they're part of the dragonette family, but not how hard it is to keep them. Any advice? I'm trying to pick my fish for my tank and since I can't do a manderine I was hoping for one of these...

Duke, I don't hav a picture or a link. I thought folks would be familiar with this fish and be able to answer the question without those items. Meadbhb

Hiya, I think I red that this is a dragonette and not a gobie. Do they need the same requirements of a manderin? Will they eat frozen, processed or flaked food? I really like these guys....not as much as the manderins, but I'd like to give them a try if possible. Meadbhb

Hiya, Thanks for the input. My LFS is getting a shipment in from CA today...can't get anything from FL right now...so I might have to see what comes in. I'd like to pick up a few scarlets and maybe go ahead with a emerald. Meadbhb

Hiya, Bang's right again, it's some brown porites. From what I've read they're good, but liable to take over this rock. Do the brown variety grow slower? Do they need as much light as the yellow's and branching? I didn't expect to have hard corals in this tank, but it's been here for over a...

Hiya, Sergent...cool! I haven't thought about that. I've retrofitted my tank too. I'm running a 65W actic and 10K light...can't remember the type right now. It's what came with the kit. Was told I'd be able to keep corals in the tank, which I want to do eventually. Meadbhb

Hiya, I'm planning on it being a reef. I'm just trying to take things pretty slow. ::Grin:: Helps that I'm broke most of the time. My husband would like it if I never added any fish to it and just had crabs, shrimps and corals. Salty...yeap, I had two of those clams on my LR, they didn't...

Hiya, It does look like it's branching. I've got some on other pieces of rock and it is definately branching. I'm also wondering...if I add emerald and scarlet crabs to the tank will I loose all my nice macro algea? Meadbhb

Hiya I bought this piece of LR for this critter exclusively. Anyone know what it is. I've circled it.

Here's a closer look at the right side.

Here's a closer look at the left side.

Hiya, Here's my tank. It's been up and running now for a month. What do you think? I did my first water change yesterday...what an experiance. I know it will get faster with time, but I'm enjoying the learning process. 37 gallon eclipse. 40 lbs base 30 lbs live rock 8 turbo's 30+ nass...

Here's another look.
