yeah they have the tiny swimming legs as their last pair too. Seems highly possible they are swimmer crabs

I'm not sure but I thought it was. Now thinking of it I doubt it is illegal haha. If fishing is legal then crab hunting should be legal too.

lol bro I don't think it is legal to take crabs from dentist :s but anyways if I were you I wouldn't put ANY crab I get from the wild into my tank, unless they serve a purpose. They look like they'll consume detritus but I'm not too sure. Be careful they may introduce parasites like Isopods into your system too

lol blue tangs can grow a lot bigger. His tank is also quite large size so they will grow a lot more

I read somewhere that they will only eat sps and lps if it doesn't have enough food or if it doesn't like the taste of the provided food, but I'm not sure how true that is

Where is collection?

Thanks for answering

it's not waterproof right?

Woah nice the rockscape looks like a nice place to place corals, you should place some in too when are you buying the wave makers? The fish won't like slow flows, and if I'm not wrong they will slowly get starved from oxygen(too little water flowing through gills)

oh ok 12v is quite safe. And that "current will kill you" is subjective (V=IR, so you need a voltage high enough before the current can kill you). If you're using strips then I guess it's ok. They're meant to work like that. But if it's pure SMD then it would be a lot better to have a constant current source with 12v 3A you have 36w of power (P=IT, P=12x3=36) assuming that each LED strip is around 5w per meter, you can put around 7 meters of strip LEDs, but there should be 6 meters if you are going to include the wattage across the resistors.

isn't those 3A adapters the high voltage type? Quite dangerous compared to high current low voltage power sources leh... And also LEDs need constant current to last their full lifespan, and the 3A adapter may not produce constant current in the long run

I added sand to my tank before, so I can help a bit on this. The sand MUST be washed if it is dead sand. Emphasis on MUST. There will be contaminants like fine sand you don't want in your tank. And washing the sand reduces the amount of fine dust particles in your tank, preventing it from being cloudy. When you pour the sand into your tank, pour into one side, and chase all your fish and mobile inverts to the other side of the tank. try to get the sand to be in a fine stream, and try not to empty the sand all at once. A lot of water will get displaced and your floor would be very wet. It does not matter if the sand lands on your rocks, but be wary if it lands on corals. Some corals cannot move to brush sand off itself so you will experience coral death if you don't clean the sand of your corals. Once you have poured the sand on that side, move it (very slowly) across the tank and flatten the sand. This minimizes the old sand being upturned and sending up unwanted detritus back into the display tank. Once the sand has been flattened, for personal preference of aesthetic appeal, I try to slope the sand onto the rock to make it look like there is more rock under the glass. Also do not lift any live rock structure when you pour your sand. This will cause the structure to become unstable. The weight of the sand also prevents the rocks from toppling over a lot. Hope this helps

Do you know how to solder? And you need to have good knowledge before you buy smd. It's not easy to choose and know what you are getting works. It's best that you buy those with pcb. Pcbs for those boards are like 10cents of the total cost max

overflow boxes are very expensive. This would be a lot cheaper with a bit of diy

Nice. The lights stronger then expected lol

by the way you will need to get a separate pump for your chiller. The return pump would be too strong for your chiller to cool the water properly

You can buy a U-tube, and use it as an overflow. (pic is from the Internet. Not mine) I have seen people on other forums use it, and it's very good. The water can channel into the sump(the tank below). You must make sure that the water level of the tank is low enough to ensure that the u-tube doesn't empty 3 cm of water from your tank onto the floor. IMO canisters are the worse form of filtration for saltwater, as it traps a lot of waste and detritus. You can also just get a simple pump to pump water back from your sump to your display tank. Fairly simple compared to your initial idea. Here's a (2 minute) drawing of what you can do

Nice tank bro! Love the rockscape. Is that sps on the rocks? Looks like it haha. If it is then your tank isn't really a fowlr

alright bro sure. Why you're cycling for so long? Usually the cycle completed before a month, and even shorter for nano tanks.

I think it has been done before. Maybe we should find the people who have done this before and ask them for help?

Bro any updates recently? I'm curious too see how this progresses!

+1 on that! Maybe you could use cheap lacquer and coat the wire. Some hardware shops sell for $5 a can, and should be more than enough for your set up. Just need a paint brush to paint it on!
