I am trying to catch a Mithrax crab in ny DT. He eats much algea but has been nipping at my Pavona frag and green toadstool frag. It stays in the rocks so I can't net it out. Anyone know how to build a trap to catch it? I don't the othet fish ton be able to go inside it.
Thanks,

Currently, I have a Berlin Classic skimmer and was thinking of picking this up used, kent nautilus te protein skimmer . Is there a significant difference between the two?
Thanks,

Take a 2 liter bottle and cut the spout off about 3" / 4" down. You then invert into the remaing bottle section. You will need to cut the spout out depending in size of fish you want to capture. Glue it together and tie a piece of string. Bait it and wait. I actually stapled mine together.
I made one out of egg crate and twist ties. It is boxed shape about 10" tall 3" wide. One narrow side has an opening of about 4". I tied a piece of string to it and put a rock with nori in it. depending on the fish it could take 5min or a few days. I pull the string and then net the fish out.
It's a shame this wasn't posted 2 weeks ago. I took out the corner overflow of a 75RR tank. The tank was broken and I converted into a reptile cage. Unfortunately, I tossed out the piece thinking no one would need it.
I say re-glue. Just dry the plug with a paper towel and the bottom of the frag. Add glue and press, not to hard, and hold for 30 secs. Then place it back in the tank.
Matt,
I was thinking the same thing about unpluging 1 at a time. The heater is about 2 years old so I will start with it. The other thing I realized was that my Phosban reactor sprung a leak and the power strip got pretty wet. I dried it ouy but think I'll replace it just to be safe.
I noticed lately that when I put my hand in the tank I get what seems like an electric shock under my finger nails. Not very strong but enough for me to notice. At first I thought it was a cut under my nail as it partially ripped off. I would expect a burn not a shock if it was the cut. Any...
Well, I was using tap water for a year and somethings lived and some died, but nothing thrived. I just hooked up my RODI and did a water change. The water seems cleared and 5 of my zoas started to open. I bought mine new on ebay and with shipping was about $80. Its a six stage unit. If you...
Can you skim the surface some how in the DT. Usually, done with a hang-on skimmer and adapter but I am sure there are other methods. Hopefully, someone here can advise.
