I havent seen him do it again Gina... I think he thought they were food when I put the new hermits in...The hermits were kinda slow in defense too... They have all spread out and hiding I think.... I havent noticed any empty shells either.... So its all good

That's good to hear!
I might have to look into getting one of these.
Thanks for the update!

sorry ffrankie- Snelly didn't realize you guys/girls had said that already (about the wrasse)

OK well I had some time today so I thought I would share my fish room... This room is kinda blah to me, lol.. I think I need some pictures or something lol.. anyway.. Here it is...

blue_eyes53813 · 09-03-2006, 03:25 PM

See blah,,,, but I guess the front of the tank is all that matters.... The 4th picture is my new life reef skimmer but I am waiting for the pump... The wrong pump came with it.. so I am hoping real soon to get that baby running.

blue_eyes53813 · 09-03-2006, 03:33 PM

And one of my Ro system... I know the filters a filthy... I have about 2 weeks left on those filters,,,, and man do they get dirty ( which is a good thing)

It is set up with an automatic shut off switch.. Barrel 1 fills up with fresh RO. I take RO water out of that barrel for top off water and mixing kalk.. I flip a switch and it will pump water over into barrel 2 for adding salt and it also has a heater and powerhead in it... Once the saltwater mixes I flip a switch ( lots of switches here) and for water changes it pumps the new fresh saltwater over to the tank... no carring buckets here.... If that all makes sense,.. here is a picture..
