Hmm... i think this was more bad advice from my
LFS then (which they seem to be full of if it means making a sale) so i'll try to stay away from anymore Horse shoe crabs...
and actually from your first post my tank has been set up since may 1st so its about 2 1/2 months old... so it has cycled...
i moved some of my powerheads today so i'll see what that does... and i also removed as much of the algae as i really could...
what do you recommend for stirring up the sand other than the horse shoe crab? cause he did a heck of a job and was VERY exciting to watch...
i found another dead Emerald crab today... and the remnants of a porcelain crabs claw... saddest ever...
and i've talked to everyone i know that i trust a bit about this problem... just can't figure it out...
on the positive i seem to be pretty good at growing algae... a few more weeks of this and all my inverts will be gone and i can really focus on what seems to be my true calling... algae farmer!
