    Sand is slightly brown! Need help for sand sifters, cleaners!

    I don't have a protein skimmer. It is an over the back two filter system. Any suggestions would help me out. Have a Choc. Chip Star but he hangs out by my overflow ALL the time. I had a sand sifter but my crab killed him!!! Is there any other invertabrates that I could get. Thanks.

    adding salt water

    NP, thought I'd give you a heads up. My son is 2 1/2 and he's going nuts touching the tank. I put it in my room so it wouldn't be that bad. He's at my house during the week. The whole custody thing. So if he comes in my room during the night, we'll just go out on the couch. Good luck.

    adding salt water

    Hey Ant. If your son is putting his "Fish" in the tank be careful of what you put in yours. ie. venemous fish, urchins etc. Just a heads up. Good luck.
