    Depends on the type of snail or crab in question. Turbo snails will help with hair algae and such and emerald crabs are good for bubble algae and sometimes hair. Nessarius snails help keep the sand moving which can be helpful with algae on the sand.

    DO u have a skimmer in the back right? all corals and sea anemones could survive with out a skimmer sometimes? Is it ok If i can use aqua clear 30 power head in a 36 gallon bowfront tank should that be fine for corals and sea anemones too?

    Ya, my Florida Rics were fine it was the Yuma’s that didn’t do well. They usually are a little more demanding though.

    Odd, I have Florida Ric in mine and they have been doing excellent. I started out with one, now i have four.

    I have a 150w Sunpod on it now. The only coral I have ever lost was a Yuma Ric. This was before the new lighting though so I think they just weren’t getting enough light.

    SPS in a biocube?
    Did you have modified lighting?
    My biocube is about a year old and has lots of problems.
    Cyano is rampant, and my stonies are all but dead now.
    All thats left is some ricordea, regular mushrooms, tonga mushrooms a kenya tree some GPS, and a tiny frag of xenia which is some how surviving.
    I tried two other times but they died, This ones living longer.
    both my of fox corals and a frogspawn are dead. and i have two dieing favias.

    Thriving is more like it. That started as two stalks. I recently made 17 frags of it and still have some left in the tank. It went in at about 2 months and by 5 it was like that. I cleared most of it out to make room for some sps though.

    hey, nice tank, im considering get one of these, but i want to know how much noise the filter makes? Thanks!

    No it’s powered by the flow of water. It’s called a Hydor Flo deflector or something along those lines. Was like 15 bucks.

  13. pepperrules2008 on 01 Feb 2009 at 12:12 pm #

    is that rotating return flow battery powered or what?

  14. Gungaful on 03 Feb 2009 at 5:58 am #

    No but you can put a heater in one of the rear chambers if you take out the bio balls andcharcoal filter like I did.

    i am going to get one soon
    but i was wondering if it comes
    with a heater?

  16. Gungaful on 05 Feb 2009 at 4:14 pm #
