My cleaner shrimp has now assassinated 6 fish. He gets so aggressive in his cleaning, he kills them. I can't wait to get rid of him. My beloved African Firefish...dead. The Black Clown I waited 6 months to get...dead. 2 new Firefish I got last week....dead.

Got it. Good points from both of you. I bought live sand. I've been following the same procedure my LFS does with new tanks when they set them up in the store for display. Checked water parameters today, and all was good, salinity was a tad high, but so far so good. Thanks for the pointers!!

Originally Posted by slim What are you planning to put in the tank? That make a BIG difference in what type of filter you run...ie live rock or your biowheel. Sounds like a great deal to me also. I also am moving up to a biger tank...Going from a 55 to a 90. I know I got a sweet deal on mine...

Well, my 12g Nanocube was fun, but we decided it was time to move up to something bigger and better. Yesterday I got the deal I've been looking for on a 29g with stand. Brought it home last night and set it in the house. Went to the LFS today and got the sand, rock, and water. The LFS owner said...

Ok...I'll wait a couple days before I freak out and start accusing the anemone of eating him then. Thanks for the info!! :D

I just added a Twin Spot Goby and an Antenna Goby to my Nanocube. I also have 2 Percula Clowns, a Peppermint shrimp, another shrimp whose name escapes me, a bulb anemone, 3 Turbo Snails, 6 Hermit crabs, and a starfish. I acclimated the Goby's per the LFS where I got them (not where I normally...

Well, we waited patiently, tested and watched the water and the Nano all week....today, we got to get FISH!!!! Our new family members include: 2 clowns 1 Starfish 2 Turbo snails 6 hermit crabs our pre-existing anemone We are ECSTATIC!!!! Everyone was acclimated and released per LFS...

Sounds good. Thanks!!!

ok...dumb question...I just searched and didn't find anything about it....when I reach in to remove/re-place the stock, do I need to wash my hands first or anything?

No fish in it at this time.... So do not leave any of the stock in the Nano for the drive either?

I"m making the change from freshwater to saltwater tomorrow. I'm picking up a Nanocube 12 that is already active (is that even the right term?) with small coral, a seabae anemone (spelling?), and a tiny shrimp.....I'm reading a lot of different threads on here with a boat load of different...
