none! lol jk contrary to popular belief a damsel IMHO is not the best fish to start with - they are very territorial and will be aggressive to future tankmate (good thing if you want an all aggressive tank though) IMHO clown / chromi are good starter.

soon that stuff will be ALL over your tnk :)

paint the back of the fuge black maybe?

hermit crabs - imo they dont bother anyone as long as you have plenty of empty shells for them to pick and choose.

no queen conch! can get over a foot long! try a tonga fighting conch they dont get more than 4 inches - but 30 gal still may not be enough for one as they require alot of sand to graze and bury themselves.

well yes - obviously the light will shine through - it would prob. look pretty ugly if you painted the side of the tank - maybe cut a black posterboard from a crafts store?

could i use bare hands to touch one of these?

unfortunately you should wait - there are so many things i just feel like i NEED when i go to LFS or shop online but this hobby is a true test of ones patience... other great deals will come along. how long has it been cycling? just one fish in the tank? cleaners?

i will eventually set up a small "land of misfit inverts" tank so i can send troublemakers into exile in a true survival of the fittest tank!

they apparently arent meant to eat hair algae, but i have 3 emerald crabs in my 125 and they mow that stuff down! just something to consider.

cool thanks sly - i do have prefilter in my wetdry - this really helped me out thanks

worst case scenario you can contact animal control - they might not be the 'animals' they usually deal with but they are animals as much as anything else... you might even end up with a free fixer-upper :)

lol 'hitman crew' ? thing is my diamond goby will get right up to him and be fine, but my maroon clown got close to him this morning and it seemed like the arrow crab smelled a good meal the way he went at him.

Hey - has anyone had issues with their arrow crab misbehaving? if so, in what ways? has he picked at fish or killed anything?

AWESOME thanks! - i like that because it doesnt put my $200 (LFS overpriced) wet/dry to waste.

my reason was because when the water level drops in the sump my return pump causes a billion micro bubbles until i add water - but i think i'll remove my bioballs slowly, and add more water to the sump so i dont have to worry about it as often

good points :thinking: - i have considered keeping my wet/dry sump but removing the bioballs over a short period of time.

hey - i'd like to eventually remove my overflowbox / wetdry filter... i just got a hangon fuge w/ built in Skimmer - plan on getting another skimmer but a better one because i heard integrated skimmer/fuge isnt that great of a skimmer - so that being said - how would i generate enough oxygen for...

it'll probably eat anything - algae, any kinda foods, detritus etc...
