Cool crab!

[i have crabs]

well i finally got some pics loaded up so heres my new cube its supposed to be the same as the first cube but starfire glass but i guess when you ask for a 12" cube made from starfire they make it 1/2" bigger than the first cube just so they look stupid sitting beside eachother,i took down my 20g and put the 2 cubes on the 20g stand

If the ick isnt to bad you could try garlic.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

That's a small regal or hippo tang, not powder blue. You know, a "Dory". Beautiful nano cubes btw.

[Xtasia]

Garlic is debatable as a "cure" for ick.

QT, Hypo, Copper, Water Change Method, UV are better methods IMHO.

[fatpuffer]

how long does that clam live for?

Js

[Skimmer Juice]

I buy the same clams. I had one in my mantis shrimp tank for 2 months before he ate it.

[i have crabs]

they usally only live for a few weeks before they die but ive had a few live over 2 monthes, as far as the ich goes garlic is not a cure just a bandaid,i moved the pistol shrimp into my reef tank and started the hypo this morning,the ich isnt bad but it has to be treated sooner or latter so ill just do it now and knock off my BS.


edited by Christy: please watch the language, thanks

[i have crabs]

ya i checked its a blue hippo tang, shows what i know about tangs

[Funky_Fish14]

The 'gift' of ich is not from Dennis and Albert, its probably from having the tang in a 7.5g tank! :O

The tanks look good though!

Chris

[nanoreefer]

is that red hermit reef safe or will it eat small fish?

and your tang and tanks look realy cool:biggrin: !

how big is the tang?

thanks

[i have crabs]

the tangs the size of a quarter and the crabs the size of a baseball,the only thing the crab dosent try to kill is green cromis

[kuatto]

NIce looking cubes,Whare did you get the black trim?

[i have crabs]

came with the cubes

[digital-audiophile]

Where do you get those cubes made? One of those would be sweet for my office!

[i have crabs]

go talk to dennis at golds he can get you one made thiey are just 12"x12"x12" tank with trim around the top and a lid,golds sells the light for $40 and i have a aquaclear 50 filter wich is plenty of flow and a 50w heater so probably run you 200-250 for everything you need mabey a little less if you have some rock and sand to steel from another tank.

[digital-audiophile]

Awesome! Thanks for the info on the tank, it is just slick! :D Those lights are awesome eh? the Mrs. uses the FW one a planted 2.5G beta tank she has.
