wurster Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 This started on a whim with no prior aquarium keeping experience to provide a home for the hermit crabs my kids caught in tide pools at the shore; recipe for disaster right? These hermits have made it through everything this tank has thrown at them, diatoms, algae, a suicidal anemone, and a really mean blue damsel. Along the way, we've picked up a clean up crew and clownfish, and found a new home for the damsel. So here's what I've got: basic 10 gallon aquarium from LFS Caribsea live sand - can't remember the amount, enough to give a nice 1.5" sandbed 10lbs live rock Aquaclear 30 with inTank media insert holding filter floss, Chemipure elite, and Purigen Hydor 50w heater WP-10 27w LED from ebay (I think it's branded as Mars Aqua?) Livestock consists of: two hermit crabs two emerald crabs one peppermint shrimp one nerite, 5-6 nassarius, and a bunch of dwarf cerith snails one tomato Clownfish added in September The next additions will be a ricordea, a shrimp, and a citron goby; long term plan is to upgrade to an AIO. FTS 12-30-15 - peppermint shrimp is standing at attention! only other tank inhabitant I could decently grab a photo of was the larger hermit crab Sorry for the miserable photos, my camera skills are a fail.
