Whys Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I really like emerald crabs and sexy shrimp. Never had a problem with any of them, and I've had several of both. But I will say this... Never trust a brittle-star bigger than your face. I lost a leapord wrass to one once. A freak'n leapord wrass! I would have rather fed it lobster. Link to comment

Singlefin Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 joining nano-reef +1. I probably would be happy with my aiptasia infested BC14 with a yellow tang and three blue chromis. Nope I find this place with all your pretty tanks and beautiful corals..... Two tanks and thousands of dollars later...... Here I am happily addicted. Thank you very much. Link to comment
Shallow Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ummm... Thinking that I cleaned a powerhead enough before putting it in my tank, lost some live stock Link to comment
lagunastudio Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thinking that I cleaned a powerhead enough before putting it in my tank, lost some live stock really? like new out of the box you rinsed it then put it in your tank then some fish died? How do you clean new powerheads or gear to be put in your tank or in line now? Link to comment
matt frizz Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Tap water, trying to use inexpensive equipment, and not keeping a quarantine tank for corals to watch for hitchhikers. Also, and this one still haunts me, forgetting to turn off the RO/DI unit :facepalm: Link to comment
