Really loving the bare bottom tank look, too. But since this tank revolves around a burrowing calico box crab, sand seems like a must have haha.Really liking the rock structure
For sure, I would think that rubble of varying sizes would be helpful too. If you have some extra rock lying around, just break it up with a hammer.
Oh that could be cool! Hadn’t thought of that earlier, just bought a bag of aragonite sand and a bag of Fiji Pink.
If you can pull a couple smaller rocks out of your main tank, that would work, or, you could add some ceramic media to the main tank for a while and let it get occupied by the wonderful diversity of bacteria that you have in your ocean live rock, and then use the media to start the crabitat!
What a beautiful tank! That’s so cool!I also have a crabitat! I have a pretty big red mithrax crab living in this 15.5 gallon Flex along with a few whelks. I call it the "Sin Bin". I am using it for some macro alage grow out as well. Having two tanks is more work, and obviously, the bulk of my time is spent on my main display...
I am just starting an experiment to see if the crab can serve as CUC for the main display by putting parts of equipment covered with algae into the sin bin for cleaning.
Uh….What? Could this be a Medusa worm of some sort?
well now you have me interested. I'll probably still heed your advice.
Yea, sadly I’ve had to get rid of all my urchins. Your tank looks beautiful! What powerhead is that?Looks great!!! I've been looking for some Caulerpa Mexicana to add to my Macro Tank. Where did you get yours?
Also, do have any issues with your urchin eating your algae? I've had one in the past that would go straight for my red ogo no matter how much I fed it.
heres my low tech macro tank
Thanks! It's the Hydor Koralia Nano which has been a great value. I think this is the 4th tank I've had it in!
