I've had my hermit crab in my tank for about 2-3 weeks now. It was a gift from the LFS when I bought the tank. But recently... with the lack of money, I haven't really done anything to the tank except leave the filter plugged in. About a week ago, I've been noticing these small things floating...

Your tank looks great! I hope mine looks at least half as decent as yours in the future!

Update: Today I got the saltwater test kit that tests for pH, nitrite/nitrate, ammonia, a thermometer, and a hydor flo that attaches to my filter to increase water flow. Also rearranged my aquascaped around a bit, now the water is super cloudy. Gonna wait till the weekend to get cocktail shrimp...

Bump for answers! What kind of fish food should I get for the cycle? I'm getting a test kit soon! Money's going low because I realize saltwater setup is no joke!

I found a few of those in my new tank too.

The rock is cured, because when I bought it.. on the display glass it says cured live rock. What kind of fish food should I get? What do you recommend? Flakes? Pebbles? Oh and lately I've been noticing different stuff coming out of my rocks. I've been seeing green stuff, and the other day I...

Sorry for the double post, but how long do I have to leave my lighting on for?

I started the filter and it's up and running. Water was super cloudy earlier but now it's getting much better and clear. What should I be expecting the next few days? Will I see green algae coming out from the live rocks or such like that?

Allright, so I got my tank up and sorta did my aquascape. What do you guys think of this? Anything I should change or add? This is my stock list so far: 8 gallon nano biocube 6 lbs of LR 10 lbs of LS 5 gallons of salt water 50w heater 1 hermit crab Fish net Magnet glass cleaner What should...

Update: I got myself an 8gallon biocube, some live sand, and 5 gallons of salt water and 12 lbs of LR. Gonna start setting up my biocube now, any advice before I start? Thanks everyone! Edit: Pictures will be up tonight!!

Tomorrow I will try to look for a slightly bigger size, I don't think I will get a 20 gallon because I don't want a HUGE tank in my room. Just want something small in the corner. If I were to get a 12 or 15, will that be good for a pair of clowns + some inverts and corals? Thank you so much...

I am interested in the nano for fish! I want to get a clownfish or 2! :)

Hello everyone my name's Andy, I'm new to this exciting hobby of salt water fish! Just a few weeks ago, my friend and I went shopping for new clothes, but instead we went to a LFS nearby and after seeing all the wonderful saltwater fishes I instantly told myself that I have to get a small...
