I heard bad about the Sally lightfoots....I heard they're not reef safe.
i had one in the past when i had my 30g reef setup and never had any problems...this site say sally lightfoot - reef safe and emerald crab - with caution...lol ..

...never had any problems with both crabs

i just bought some Live Phytoplankton and wanted to know how should i feed my tank once a day once every two days or so on...

 

[snakeblitz33]

It's got pretty good instructions on the bottle. Lol. I have fed my tank anywhere from every day to every week. Depends on the bioload.

LOL...yeah it does have good instructions on the bottle but didn't say to feed every day or every other day and so on just wanted to know didn't want to over feed...

water is a littile cloudy so i checked water levels and got
ph - 8.2
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 0
so i did a water change to see if that helps out... can any one tell me why would the water be a littile cloudy...

 

[siptang]

salt or sand shifting after a water change perhaps?

 

[phillyboi]

got some more goodies....

 

[siptang]

Nice softies! Good choice for beginning corals. Like it!!

 

[phillyboi]

are blue damsel's known to mimic other fish becuase i catch mine from time to time with my yellow tang picking at the rocks for algae...it's kinda cool..

Just a note about your Damsel.
They are suprisingly aggressive. If you put Chromis or Cardinals or something peaceful and smaller like that in there the damsel will probably kill them. just FYI.

I keep a damsel in my QT/HT tank. When I purchase a new fish he comes out and goes into my sump. Then once the new fish or sick fish is back in the tank. He goes back into the DT/HT. It's a perfect way to keep the bio active. Yes I have live rock in my QT/HT, however, its only about 5lbs and if need be I can toss it anytime. Just a thought before you decide to take him back to the store.

[phillyboi]

ph - 8.2
ammonia - 0.25
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 0
phosphate - 0

How do you have a PH of zero?
Maybe your tests aren't reading correctly
