I saw a pic of a coco worm and would like to get one. What would they be classified under when searching for livestock. I have a 20g H with 18 lbs of LR, 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, emerald crab, 7 hermits, a cleaner and a couple snails. Is a coco worm feasible?

Ok, I have a few questions that have popped up as our tank progresses. 20g H, standard light 15w and Power Whisper filter (rated at 30-60g) Salinity 1.026 Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Ph 8.2 We have 2 Clowns, 1 Royal Gramma, 7 blue leg hermits, 1 emerald crab and 3 astrea snails (make that 2)...

I've seen quiet a few pic of these and they are pretty cool looking. Can these be kept in a 20g?? I checked the sales part of this site and it doesn't say, does say however they are rarely available to the hobbyist. Input anyone?

Took a water sample in to the lfs, they require a sample for their guarantee. Everything was good as expected but they told me the salinity was too high. It is 1.026 which I didn't think was too high, they recommend around 1.021 ish. Current livestock list is.......... 2 perc. clowns 1...

I have a 20g that has finished its cycle. I have 7 blue leg hermits 3 astrea snails and an emerald crab. Any other suggestions for a cleaning crew? I would like to have a cleaner shrimp also. On another note, I notice that the emerald crab only comes out to play after the lights are turned...

When changing the water, I realize it should be the same temp as the tank, what about salinity?? Should the salinity of the new water match that of the old? Should that water be added over a specific period of time? I only have a 20g so we're not talking a lot of water. Thanks for any input.

We have a new tank, just about a week old. Took a sample to the lfs today and they tell me the cycle is almost done. Ammonia was at 0, nitrite was .25, I don't remember what the trate level was, pH was 8.2. Salinity is 1.022. As we were sitting and staring tonight we notice very small white...

Father's Day gift was a 20g starter kit. Monday hit the lfs for some water, lr, ls, salt and more. Got everything going but had probs with filter. The Whisper PF that came with the kit didn't work so well (at all). Bought a new one (another post) and things are underway, water is finally...

I have a whisper PF 20. For some reason I can't get it to pull water into the intake tube. I have followed the directions to the letter, not sure what else to try. :help:

Much to my suprise, I was given a 20 gal. starter kit today for Dad's Day. It came from PetSmart with hood and light (flourescent), Whisper Power Filter, Thermometer and 100w Heater. I know I am going to need LS LR and some RODI water and salt from the lfs. What else am I going to need to get...

I just wanted to get some input on what options are available for stocking a 10 gal. I want to setup a reef tank. Right now the only thing I have is the tank, no other equipment bought yet.....just thinking ahead :notsure: . Thanks, Rick

Anyone from springfield area? Wanting to setup a reef tank and wondering if there may be any locals to give input and advice. Would like to check out a setup other than lfs.

Have a new 10g tank from Wally World. I want a reef tank and have explored many of the posts and articles here. I know I will need LR and LS and other equipment plus a little patience. What do I need to look for in the way of equipment. Skimmer, no skimmer, heaters, lights, filters, power...
