Who here has a saltwater tank?

[iceman601]

Thats one sweet setup you got right there .....maybe some day I'll move on up to a salt water tank too because I always wanted the lion fish:

Thanks man! Ah the lionfish....better get a pretty big tank for that sucker!

So the clown's are pretty hearty. Cool. Maybe a small reef and 1 or 2 clowns in a 30? Should i have enough space?

[callmej75]

O yeh...thats enough space for 2 clowns. Maybe get you a clean up crew of maybe 3 hermit crabs and 3 snails. The hermits and snails merely cost $.75 each. Get a lawnmower blenny to control algae and that would be a good setup.

Remember, when you buy live rock, its always a rule of thumb to get 1lb. live rock per gallon water.

Cool, mybe my blood pressure will drop a few point's.

Heres something I spotted at 2am Sunday morning when I shined the flashlight on the rocks in the dark. I guess they call them spaghetti worms....cool looking tentacles tho!

lucky!

i had a saltwater crab tank

i caught them trying to escape like 4 or 5 times.... the final time, they escaped

i tried so many different things to get them to stay in, i even taped all open holes, got a shorter thermo and heater, moved the rocks so they couldnt get to the sides....

theyre determined little buggers

I had 1 emerald crab....he died. I talked to several other guys on a forums and they said they had hard times with crabs too! Only crabs I kept alive were the hermits. Only thing that climbs the tank now is the snails! When they run out of water, they are heading back into the tank.

I gotta watch out when I get this wrasse because they like to jump out of any openings in the tank.
