Well little update nothing too new did a water change things are almost zero and a scarlet crab got half eat wtf...no sign of shell soo confused lol

Are you sure it's dead? When they molt it looks like the whole front half of them sitting on the sand bed. I've found a few molts that i thought for sure were dead crabs but later discovered the crab alive and well.

Did you find an empty shell? The pic below is a crab molt, looks like a half eaten crab but it is only a molt, it can be very deceiving. If you picked up the shell and a body fell out, that's one thing. However if you saw what looked like a body on the sandbed (not moving) but there was no shell around, then it's probably a molt.

Well I've been thinking on refug but then thought about a mini sump/refug...but been I'm only aloud 20 gallons too play with, water volume is starting too be concern..how can I measure the water displacement? It's a 17.5 gallon with 40lbs rock 30 lbs sand...im woundering how much water is actually in my tank I would like too do a 10g using only half the tank if that.. So really only 4-5 gallons water in over flow tubes tank return ect I'm planning.. And what would be best drain set up herbie or what??

nanoreefnewbie 10-10-2012 09:24 PM

I've been doing alot of lookin pulled out trust old calculator blew off the dust :biggrin: and started figuring out water displacement..i belive there is roughly 9.65 gallons..does this seem right too you all??:question:

nanoreefnewbie 10-12-2012 01:20 AM
