Im new here, I just started a 29gal tank (use to keep oscars in it) Now its salt. Its been up and running about a week and a half. Live sand, like 20ish pounds of live rock in there, everyting seems to be going well. A few days ago I put two small hermit crabs, an emerald crab and a blue berrie crab in there, also sand sifting (I think thats what it is) star and a small turbo snail. Well after about 30mins the star ate the snail... I was thinking that star fish just sat around doing nothing, this one moved like extreamly fast, right to the snail.. it was painfull to watch, at fist I thought they where just messing about. Oh well. So I got a great big snail that seems to be doing fine now. (they didnt have any snails that could battle a star fish acrdoing the guy at the pet shop.. he will have to go un-avenged) Any sugestions about what I should do now? if anything? I plan to wait a few weeks and then drop some of the damsile fish in there one or two I think and see what happens. Oh also I have a "life Glow" light bulb and a "pinguin 125" 'filter.. temp is 78deg at all times, got a heater not shure what kind it is. Salt lvls are right where there are supose to be acrdoing to my salt meeter thingy. Sugestions to make this a non catastrophy? :jumping:
