You didn't list gorilla crabs and other icky HH on your list of what you will get. Do you have a holding tank for this package so you can get all the bad stuff out of it easier?

As for the rock in the sand bed. I would place it deeper in the sand bed so that the mantis or other sand diggers don't topple it over. You could also place some small rocks in the sandbed for the larger rocks to sit on. I use the smaller rocks for most of mine so I keep all the arches and stuff on the bigger rocks exposed.
I have become a master Gorilla Crab hunter. Bring them on!!!

Thanks for the rock placement suggestion. thats a great idea. I would never have thought to use some of the smaller rock as base rock

Re: A 55G link in the Golden Chain

Herrrrrrreeesssssssss Part 2

More LR ~45 pounds
I removed all the "feather" Caulerpa Mexicana befor I put in the tank


Moving the LR into my holding container Mantis #3 leaped out of the rock.
He was easy to catch. He is twice as big as my other 2 and green.
I think He is going into the sump with a small piece of rock until I can take him to a LFS.


FTS with all 90# of LR in tank.
CUC and other "goodies" floating in the tank undergoing acclimation.

I think I see a nice orange sponge... they're getting more popular, aren't they? Keep seeing them in stores all of a sudden.
