many times... crabs eat what they can get a hold of... snail for cuc here...
A quick update. My daughter is 10; and is not the sea slug that was being eaten, it was a big old turbo that have not moved for a while. In my smaller tank. the old turbo stay still for a few days and then starts moving. But I guess these hermit did not give it a chance.
Good news, the Chiller (JbJ 1/3)is in. My son could not lift it!! I'll be home in a couple of days to move it out of the door way. I did not know it will be that heavy. The ups guy used a hand truck.
I purchased 2 more 3/4 barb x 1/2 thread to try some more drilling of siphon holes. I learn the hard way, it should not be on the top. I will try the bottom of elbow and the barb side of elbow. Unless someone knows a better position. I don't want to drill any part of the original equipment just the 3/4 x 1/2.

Electric blue crabs look cool but they are destructive. We gave ours away.

They do look nice they seem to be bigger then the other types of hermit I have.

Yes they are definitely bigger. Beautiful crabs but we had to get rid of ours. He knocked everything over. He would pull up corals that are super glued down. We hated it.

Maybe I am a bit harsh on them. I have 3. One is still in its orginal shell and seems to behave. The other two with my snail shell, I moved them down to the sump refugium. Last water change, I found them on my sponges. I had chaeto in the refugium so I thought they will be ok picking on it. But no, they were at the sponge. I did not really notice them. I was taking out the sponge to rinse and felt one of them, pull it out (he was holding on) and ops. I got the shell, no hermit. The next one was in tack. so I put the shell under the skimmer and made sure he is not on the sponge and hope he will find his "home".

How are you gonna get that LOC-LINE to work I ordered both sizes from BRS only to figure out that it is metric system and loc-line will not work on the return. Are you using some sort of Mod to make it fit?
I'm using a 3/4 barb x 1/2 npt female (pic on one of my previous post) I purchased from Home Depot. I am able to push two full barb deep on the return. Make sure you take off the outer most nut to push in tight. The nut should come off hand loosening.
I purchased the male thread loc-line, use Teflon tape. I also purchased a loc-line check valve. I think the flow has some restriction, since it is not full open.
Still playing with configuration. I have skimmer and chiller flow open and I am not getting the pressure I want on the return.
