[mcgyvr]

Keep nitrates and phosphates as low as possible..
Emerald crabs

What are the results of your nitrate and phosphate test results?

Emerald crabs will only eat the green bubble algae. Nothing in my research eats that stuff. Had a small tank with this and had to tear the whole system down and start with new stuff. Battled the red for a long time, taking rock out and equipment out to scrub and it just kept coming, more and more, covering everything.:sad1:
