Soon, Jay, soon. I just have to pester my mom to bring the camera home. Soon as I can do that, I'll take some pics and post them.
I bought some Biozyme for saltwater, and the tank is now cycled. Ammo and nitrite are next to zero, and nitrate is up (I assume, I haven't measured it yet...). I bought three Blue Clawed Hermit Crabs today and put them in the tank. They seem to be doing well.
How many crabs do I want on my "cleanup crew"? What else do I want in there as a part of the "cleanup crew"? As a reminder, the tank is a 20 gallon tall with 30 pounds of live rock, 10 or 15 pounds of base rock (that had absolutely no life on it...I had been using it to buffer some freshwater...
), N.O. lighting (15 watts of it), and my prism skimmer. I plan to eventually have a pair of Saddleback Clowns (A. Sebae).
I read on the tampabaysaltwater site that I need a brittle star, 2 tiger tail cucumbers, a pepermint shrimp, a turbo snail per 2 gallons, and a hermit crab per gallon. Is there much truth to this? How much of that is just Tampa Bay Salt looking for a sale?
Thanks for the help.
