    Whats the most important "thing" you've learned

    Even when things are going bad, my tank beats anything on tv. I can sit and watch it for hours and find myself watching it with the tv running. Also, wives don't like talking to you when you can see the tank, they learn quickly your focus is on your tank!

    Looks to be a member of the mythrax crab family, like an emerald crab. If the claws don't come to a point but instead are rounded and have a space between the claws when the tips are closed then I think you're safe. That's how it looks in the picture anyway. JMO. :thinking:

    Unexplained invertabrate death

    Also, some of the rocks were stored in garbage bags and some of the substrate sand was stored in a 5 gallon bucket. All was rinsed well prior to setting up the tank. The rest of the rock came out of an existing reef tank that was doing well.
