SRC Member monpire Posted May 31, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 I revamped my nano last month and soaked all the LR for 3/4 hr...got rid of lots of worms and crabs...yet still found 2 worms and 1 crab alive the day after. Soaking in FW helps but it's not gonna get rid of all the pest...by the way...anyone has any suggestion on how to get rid of the crab?

(45cm x 20cm x 25cm)can i know a 22L tank is equal to how many gallon?? 4.95 UK gallons - Should be less than this if the height is the tank and not the water level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member raydiative Posted June 3, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 3, 2006 oh.. i think its a little too much.. anyway u can use the converter to calculate ur 22L with the SRC easy converter.. its at the left hand side of ur screen... the transformer there... =] anyway ur tank is about 6 US GAL.. if totally filled with water la.. =] Quote A man with a reef tank is a man with an empty wallet...

(45cm x 20cm x 25cm) can i know a 22L tank is equal to how many gallon?? 22L is 5.8 US Gal Yes, your LS plan will overpopulate the tank. Perhaps you wanna reconsider the following: 3) Royal Gramma - can be quite aggresive in a small tank 4) Mandarin - unless your tank is matured with lots of food hidden within ur LR, not all Mandarin can be trained to take feedings You can have the following but make sure you buy very small specimens: 1) 2) 5) Items 6) and 7) are suitable for new tank and can spread pretty easily if the condition is right. Oh... your pH of 8.6 is a bit on the high side.

Inside Ah Beng premise thre are actually 2 LFS. 1 full with Ah Bengs... 1 manned by Uncle and Aunty. I got a feeling you were in the right place, but wrong LFS.
