KiwiPhish Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nope but you could at least reduce the populations of crab and other things so they won't disappear as fast especially in a 10g system. Link to comment
patrick1234 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thats why I was thinking 5 and geting the little cearts since it fills like they kill them just for thare shell Link to comment
KiwiPhish Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Five crabs and that many snails competing for food in a 10g is sure to end in plenty deaths, yes they're all cute to watch wiggle around and piiinch things but to keep everything happy some sacrifices to that list must be made, especially since your throwing bigger snails in there with the 40 something smaller ones.

Ok so how about 1.crab and cut the snail pop in half? Link to comment

Reefer Al Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I admire you for allowing 1% of your budget for the tank. Maybe he's saying the cost of the actual 10g tank is about 1% of the total amount spent on the system. Link to comment

Paleoreef103 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 That's a lot of rock in a 10 gallon AIO.... Can you get around the rock to clean the glass? Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 +1 Id take out the two rocks in the front right, the tall one and the other stacked on that. Link to comment
masterbuilder Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I really like your tank. I think it would look good if you removed these two rocks and/or take that rock up on top left and drop it down in the crack between the rock and false wall as a shelf for corals. Could take the big rock on the bottom left and lay it flat, sticking out of the cave as another place to mount some corals. Didnt think we would start re-doing your tank did ya...lol. Like they say...opinions are like a$$&oles...everyone has one. Link to comment
