well if only it was that simple. but then again, even if he did come out- HE'S STILL IN THE TANK!

i seen one today, he was a little guy, but a pest none the less. if i cannot trap him, i know where his home is now. and although i dont want to, i will remove the piece of LR (very large piece of LR) and give a blast of RO. that is how i removed one the other day.

and hose clamps??

well i have only seen the one, and he is no longer with us. i have an Ultralife X-Terminator Trap that I am going to set each night and see what happens.

right now he is in my fuge, he wont he hard to catch if i decide later to make crabs cakes.

Today I added about 110lbs of Live Sand to my Refugium as well as some Calupera as well. I also managed to remove a couple gorialla crabs and a mantis shrimp from my latest shipment of live rock. but i still at least one mantis in the tank, i can hear the clicking. i will get him sooner or...

ok thanks!!!

thought about that, but its just not workable. i already have baseboard heaters down there, it is a finished basement with a bar. i have a portable AC unit that i use down there, but it really does not do all that much. i think it is b/c there is no insulation behind the paneling on the walls

thanks guys! i do have central air, but not in the basement where the tank is!!! and for some reason it does get hot in the basement in the summer, even though most basements stay cool. maybe it gets hot b/c of all the equipment from the fish tank, the pc, the 2 tv's, fridge, washer & dryer, and...

his body is at least the size of a quarter, which imo is pretty big compared to most crabs i have had as hitchhikers.

What is the norm as far as tamp fluxuation throughout a day. my tank goes from about 77 to 80 while the MH's are on. is this ok? i am going to be adding more fans. i have a window fan suspened right behind the tank that comes on when the MH comes on. i can open the window in the room behind the...

Anyone ever use it?

American Bull Dog, Pit Bull Terrier, or other? Very cute dog, reminds me of my boxer when she was a puppy!

thanks guys! it may not come accross in the pics, but this sucker is pretty big! i havent decided what i am going to do with him yet. i put him in an area of my sump for the time being where he cannot escape.

i did downgrade from a 1800gph pump to 950gph for the purpose of removing micro bubbles and like Rich says- the sump is only going to process so much water regardless of the flow. i read on melev's page that 3-5 times the tank size is sufficent for a return pump. i did not feel that a larger...

No ideas, suggestions, advice????????

good luck!!!!

Pulled this guy off a piece of LR, he is red/brown with pink claw tips, slightly hairy. I think it is a Red Mithrax but I am not sure. I dont think he is a Gorilla crab b/c he is not hairy enough, and his claws do not have black tips. So should he stay or should he go?

I added 180lbs of Live Sand and 135lbs of Live Rock to the display tank today. I moved the 90lbs of Live Rock (left over from my previous tank) into my 55g refugium. I will be adding another 135lbs of Live Rock to the Display tank in a couple weeks. As of now the the refugium is bare bottom...
