Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
This is probably the only site that i do not use any of the smile faces - because they look like they were designed when dot matrix printers and VCRs were in style.

The appears to be some type of isopod - can you get a closer look at the eyes? if they are big - it's a bad pest known as a cirolanid isopod. they will feast on any fish they can get a hold of. Do not put your bare hands in the tank before getting a good identification on that bug.
id be willing to help out if there are defined tasks/roles and i can help complete them at my own time (like once a week or something). if this needs me to be one daily - i can't commit to that.
I have used the pvc rig that jose posted from R2R. My firefish at the time loved it. My pearly jawfish ignored it. I believe i didn't set it up deep enough in the sand - hence why the firefish utilized it. Good luck!
one last thing - this tank doesn't have built in overflows - he used glass hole cutters to set that up. I'd be really leary of moving such a tank given it's compromised in that way already. That's just me...maybe others feel fine with it.
that looks like a reeflo external pump. it looks pretty beat....I loved mine. I got it used and worked solidly for almost 8 years for me. it's $50 for a replacement seal - and given the looks of that pump, you will need it. or get a brand new one. That's a lot of jury rigging pvc he has...
