They are ok, probably won't get very big. I got a few that were hitchhikers. One of them was actually about 2.5 inches but I only saw him once late at night. Here was the pic of mine...

As for salt mix, I use tropic marin pro reef, and really like it. Everybody has their preference I think.

I am still looking to find out what my other hitchicker is, it is to small to take a pic of it to post. It is on my cultred LR that i got from my lfs. It looks clear like selicone is and has tenticals with light blue dots on the end of each tentical. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be.

Yea thats what i thought too, when i added it but i love it. I might get the Korila 2 and put in instead of a korila 1. I aslo have a aqua clear 30 powerhead in there i have that up high on the tank to move the water around the surface, and the korila 1 in the side of the tank for the middle right know. When i get the korila 2 i am going to put it on the left side of the tank lower to the sandbed and face it up a little bit.

Its all good. lol............... Well i just did my water test and this is were we stand as of 11-5-08
PH 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.25
Nitrate 80 i think this is up cause of the diatoms growing in the tank, or the tank is at the end of its cycle.
What do u guys think?
