thanks for looking! :D
 
i jus dont like the look of it and how it jus covers everything... doesnt seem to happen in nature... those are a couple... i jus really dont think it looks good on the glass either, and so many people think this stuff encrusting their glass is cool... i jus dont agree... it doesnt look good to me at all... tis' all lol
 
OH, and i added some more hermits tonite, that gives me 40 in the dispaly and 10 in my refuge... I also added 3 emerald crabs to my dispaly and 2 to my refuge and 1 small arrow crab to my refuge as well...

the inverts in the fuge are to eat the food that makes it way there before it even begins to decay... after 15 mins of one good feeding, with my cleanup crew, there is not one speck of food left anywhere... mission accomplished :D lol
 
dropped a algae wafer in, and there was a feeding frenzy lol

another while adding my emerald crabs (which i think i might get a couple more)

again, the arrow crab is for my fuge...

3 or the 4 of my emerald crabs found their first hiding spot under my tang's feeding rock lol

and my arrow crab in said fuge, which i will be adding more macro too eventually...

my fuge... i dont like to clean the sides to much, as they are beginnig to get covered with lots and lots of small pods of some sort... kinda look like the ones that come in the bottle alive you can buy labeled "tigger pods"

also might add one or two more peices of rock from my sump...

both taken while feeding time was on :D
 
bro that almost looks like cyano in your fuge. i love emerald crabs but they hide way to much. i only have one and i only see him maby 2-3 times a month. one time i didnt see him for a month and a half.
 
I love your setup it is very complete and well thought out. I would love to plumb a fuge and sump into my display, and plan to soon. I need a good clean up crew also I like those snails and am thinking of grabbing about 10 or so for my tank and 5 blue legged hermit crabs.

Click to expand...

it is a little cyano, but it only seems to be in the fuge area... weird lol

but it can stay there ;)

the emerald crabs are awesome, and i dont have alot of rockwork, so they arent hard to spot, but at feeding time, EVERYONE comes out :D

plus i ve got 4 in the display and thinken i might add a couple more...
