Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Hey Ryan why don't you post some pics of your tank and show us what broke. Perhaps it can be fixed or the part replaced until you decide to upgrade. As I told you during our group buys you will be able to buy the skimmer cheaper then any other way(new at least).
You also have not had the Rio...
Good question I suppose...so if you use a cutting board do you think it would be safer. I would assume something used for food prep would have to have more controls built in. Of course you know what they say about assuming.
I don't know the exact number...I think it sort of depends on the total number...10 would not be bad if you had less of some of the others. The rough number I have heard is one snail per gallon but to me that is excessive. I think if you had 25-30 different snails and crabs total that would work...
Hey here are the pics!!! Nice job.
I would go with Mike on getting the calupra algae out....once you lose control of it it can be a pain to starve it out of existance...especially in a nano...speaking from experience. ::)
There are some other algaes that would be nice, shaving bush, halimeda...
Boy you think everyone dislikes damsels?
Which ones did you get there are a couple "nicer" ones? Clowns are closely related so they are a possibility. Dwarf angels, pseudocromis, and maybe some bigger type fish.
I think you need to decide what kind of tank you would really like to have. If...
3- emerald green mythrax crabs Stick with one or two.
15- red scarlet reef crabs OK I would only have 5-10 personally.
20- Mexican red leg hermits (or blue hermits) is there a difference aside from color? I am not sold on any other then the red ones...the small blue ones are sort of...
Well you could order one new for about 140 during our next PA group buy or just buy a new collection cup for about 30 bucks. I don't know anything about this skimmer though it looks like good ratings overall.
