Live rock changing colors?

[lorenz0]

I used to scare the dart frog beginners all the time, I guess karma caught up lol. Just thought i would take up the challenge of a salt water this time around.

Right now I have 10 snails, which will be down to 3 or 4 tomorrow. There was a deal on 10 and I am a sucker for deals. Than I have 10 left handed hermit crabs, which I think are the coolest little guys so far. My plans for the tank is a mushroom tank. I was talking to a fellow at elite aquatic's in calgary and he told me that just the marine-glo and power-glo will be enough. The rock is actually close to he glass but i for sure will take your advice and put it all the way down.

As for test kits, the ones I have been using are Aquarium Pharmaceuticals nitrate, nitrite, and ph. Than for ammonia I am using the nutrafin hagen one. I do want to pick up the Elos master kit.

Thanks for all the help btw, it means alot

I would blame a faulty test kit, I have no faith in hagen. They may be good for fresh water but I have never found any of them to be accurate for salt water.

Just go slowly and you'll do fine. Before you spend more then $20 on a piece of equipment do some research it will save you money in the long run

Once again thanks for the help

I put in some algae waffers to see how the hermits would resond to them and they just have been having a feild day on them. so right now I am just going to throw one in every odd day for the little guys till my tank is a bit more established
