First Pics (dialup warning)

[JWright]

Two pics, essentially the same, one w/ flash, one w/out. Forgive the poor quality camera and the poor quality photographer. Subject is the emerald crab in his favorite hiding spot, with a hermit on his roof.

No Flash:

the emeralds color with no flash looks very cool.

Looking good, now all ya need to post is a full tank shot lol

Yeah.... but then you'll see how shrouded in algae it is...

Looks good. I didn't know that you had a saltwater nano. Maybe you could help me. I am thinking of doing a saltwater tank with 2 clown fish and maybe some coral. What do you think? I have a 10g and a 20 g which i can convert. A step by step instruction would be great. I need a guide!

happens to the best of em! Happened to me. Better start threatening the emerald until it starts eating some .

When I fish setup my 20 I got a seriouse case of cyano so anything other than that would be pleasurable to my eyes ahah.

Pssstt Limi I read that already not clear enough for a dumb guy like me. I am not going for a reef. I am going for a saltwater tank maybe 10g maybe 20g and maybe i mean maybe some coral depends upon the cost of stuff needed to keep coral.

looking good josh!

Coral = reef.

It's really pretty simple.... Put warm salt water in a glass box with a light over it and some pumps to move it around, add live rock, wait a few weeks, add some crawly things.

The more current and the more light the better. Aim for a temp in the high 70's, a pH in the mid 8's, and wait for your ammonia and nitrite to settle to 0.

Do weekly water changes of 20% or so with distilled or RO water.

I know I sound like I'm being silly... but that's really the cliff's notes version of what I did.
