Can anybody ID these crabs?

Got some hitchhikers so far looks like 2 bobbits, fire worm, some sort of crabs starfish of course and a pistol shrimp. Going to figure out what kind if Crab it is may sump it and for the other stuff it's free if anybody is interested. This is just the paper towels so far haven't even looked at...

At this point I'm committed to the sapphire.

Funny is I have the sapphire 39 but I wanted the emerald. I wish this was available before I purchased the blue one.

Well you guys have a beautiful tank so it was definitely a good decision. Curious though did you guys have any nutrient issues along the way that caused unwanted algaes or dinos? That's the issue I've had with dry rock myself.

That's a steal

That's a beautiful tank! Great work on it. The Marco rock is also very porous so I'm sure that is a huge benefit which worked in your favor. The dry carbisea life rock i went with isn't quality at all. There's no porosity to it at all. It's like solid heavy blocks of shaped concrete so this may...

I'm sure that's the case for most places which is unfortunate. Kp has a great rep for selling rock right out of the water or close to it though. I've had good experiences with them in the past so I have high hopes the rock will be quality like I've gotten before.

If your going to remove the rock maybe try dipping it into some high Salinity water like 1.031. That should make the mantis fly out of the rock. If there's corals on the rocks this may be an issue though.

This tank is beautiful whatever your doing keep doing and don't change it. I hope I can get my tank to look even half as good as this.

I agree lol but I'm not known to do sane things

Not sure what Diana paid but it cost a pretty penny for my 15lbs at 250 shipped overnight. This is way more than I would like to pay but it's shipped full of water so die off is supposed minimal and after all the issues with the tank I'm more than willing to drop the extra cash to get the...

That looks great and I'm glad to see it's a couple rocks. I wasn't sure what 15lbs would yield. It's been 5 years since I ordered from kpaquatics. Looks like the quality is still there. Any mantis shrimp? I think that would be a neat hitchhiker to toss in the sumps refugium or a species only tank.

I think I'll be good with what I have and if not I'll grab another 15lbs. I wish i would have done live rock from the start.

It's trash I'll never do it again. The caribsea has zero porosity to it. At this point I'm going to transfer it to my 120 because it's estanlished over a year now but I'll never start with it again or at minimum it will be accompanied by live rock. I want rock from wherever you got it from...

Thank you @diana a I'm happy to hear this and i hope it helps me. How many lbs did you pick up and is there any chance you have some pictures of what you received?

What's everyone's opinion on live rock vs dry rock? My first 2 reef tanks I used live rock for both of them. One had kp aquatics live rock and the other had gulf live rock. I liked the life on kp aquatics more but the rock was definitely not as loaded with macro as the gulf live rock. Both had...

Received 2 orders today myself. A $10 card in one and missing a reward from the other. Shot brs a message as my order still shows as in picking like not everything shipped for the one missing a card and they gave me a $10 code via the chat. So basically I've gotten 4 of the $10 cards this sale...

Haven't won anything this sale yet but I have a few more deliveries and 2 orders in picking so who knows might get lucky. A previous sale I won some food, a neat screen top feeding portal and $100 off card. Idk if anybody remembers that sale saltwateraquarium.com did in the beginning of the year...

Tank is doing well, no complaints. Can't wait to get the 120 going though. Safe travels today.
