    Crab ID please

    That's a porcelain crab. Not a crab as such but a squat lobster. It only has 6 legs. It's a harmless filter feeder.

    Well that wasn't long

    I have only just sold my RSM 250 and guess what....I'm picking up an RSM 130 in silver for my daughter on Wednesday. I bought 2 percs and she was hooked. She wanted her own reef tank and a secondhand 130 has come up at a price I would be stupid not to take for her. So....a new build...

    New tank update. Not an RSM.

    It took about a month to sell. I did have loads of spares which helped to sell it on quicker.

    New tank update. Not an RSM.

    Thanks guys. The move was stressfull.....to ME. Everything settled in straight away. The LR was stored in a bucket with a heater and powerhead for 4 days. All of the other stock was either in my mates tank or in a small 3 footer. 1 day to set up ( it must have been a 16hr day too) and...

    New tank update. Not an RSM.

    Well I haven't been around much lately after selling my RSM 250. However as promised, I thought that I would let you guys see what I have done. I sold my RSM to buy a larger tank with a sump. I have now upgraded to an STM Eco 100. Twice the volume of the RSM and my fish are loving the...

    The top one is a hydroid. They typically die off in a tank but can reach plague proportions. Opps the second one

    My RSM journey

    Thanks guys and trust me, I will set up a link to the new tank. The RSM has been a fantastic tank to get back into reef keeping with. It has it's faults but they are all surmountable. I love the simple clean look of the tank.....but yearn more space:yup: I don't think the Wife has...

    My RSM journey

    Well......it's a sad moment but.....after a convesation with my Wife about a bigger tank, my RSM 250 will be closed down and replaced next week. I have learned much through using the RSM and have enjoyed every minute ( except the hood flooding issue). I will still be around asking you guys...

    Emerald crab shedding or dieing?

    I add 1ml of iodide on a weekly basis. There are patches of bryopsis and hair algae through the tank. I don't think he's starving. He has been in there for months now. He was one of the first additions. All of the other crabs in the tank are still active and going about their business. I...

    I have just done a little bit of maintenace only to find my emerald upside down and struggling. He is almost white and appears very weak and lifeless. It isn't a molt as the crab is still moving....just. Now I'm wondering if it is on it's way out or if I have found it in the process of a...

    Mixing Gobies

    I recently added a Watchman goby to my tank, an RSM 250, which also contains a Randalls Pistol and Goby pair. The Watchman just did his thing for a week and the 2 never paid much attention to each other. However the Watchman has disappeared, he may be under my LR but I haven't seen him for...
