although it looks kinda cool you will regret the horseshoe crab
they are like dulldozers and when they feel like it they will and can lift and topple your rock work

Hey philgmiami there was a on e-bay selling 25 pounds of live rock for $55.00 shipped and I bought 50 pounds of it and it looks like the rocks you have in that trigger picture. :thinking: I wonder if he got them from where you got yours he said the divers brought it in everyday! :yes:

Forgive me if I'm mistaken....... but I've been told that puffer fish and coral don't get along. The puffer will eat your coral.

You really should know your tank size so you can buy the proper size items when doing any changes and/or upgrades. LxWxHx.00433 this will give you a very close estimate. Obviously if you measure from the outside you aren't getting the true gallons as measurements from the inside so number will be a little higher than actual.

Made a mistake before - have a 55 gallon tank! So, any lighting tips? As you can tell, I'm learning and virtually inexperienced with anything but a FOWLR system.

Any online sites that you can recommend? BY the way, what types of anemones do you have? And, do you know what type of corals you can keep?
