This is a question and an update.
I got my first ever saltwater tank up and running. I have about 10 lbs. of live rock and 15 lbs. of base rock in my 29 gallon. I have a Red Sea pryzm skimmer, a PH and HOB filter for circulation.
I also have a blue damsel, and two perc.clowns. I got an attack of hair algea so i got 5 red and 5 blue legged hermit crabs. It was amazing how quickly they mowed down the hair algea. The only problem is now my sand i covered in, what i think to be, tons of hermit crap poop.
Do crabs usually crap alot?
If so, how do i keep my tank looking clean? I have only had the crabs for two days and it looks bad already.
Thanks for the help
