Lucky day for me, look at my new pet crab :) This is the hairy crab I've just managed to catch, it looks small once removed from water.

Last night I caught another one :) very small crab, I think its the same white crab as on another picture. Here you get a very good quality picture, the crab was very small. I am still after the hairy crab which is small but few times bigger that the one on the picture, I can see him every...

Thats the one I caught last nigh, is has red eyes.

I caught one crab last night, crab with red eyes!!, I will upload some pictures tonight, I used glass and bait (prawn piece) technique. 2 nights of trying and 1 crab caught :)

I am going to have a nice week, I have spotted another 3 small crabs in my tank, all different ones. I am going to try catching them using a glass and some fishy bait.. EDIT: some pictures of the new crabs, i think this is best quality i can get, the white crab is very small, the other one...

Many thanks for your help. I have checked some stickies and found this. http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchcrabs.html The crab does look very brown and the claws ends are black, this doesnt look like a good crab. It looks most like The Mithrax Crabs ( Cling Crabs), or Xanthid species as...

Thx for the speedy reply, I have taken another photo, this time the quality is better, also I dont see any red eyes.

Hi, I bought 10kg of live rock today, and broght it home and then I saw this massive crab crawnling on the floor, it scared the hell out of me, should I keep it, its about 4-5cm wide. Its sitting in the bucket with water I had to remove from the tank before placing LF and LS. The tanks is a...

I'm only going to keep soft corals, also Salifert for Nitrite and Ammonia were quite cheap to be honest, both £12 I think.

Thanks xxBarneyxx for a quick reply. I have just done some shopping before I loose myself LOL :) 2 x Hydor Koralia Nano (1 for mixing salt+water for the time being, then I will get a cheap one for mixing salt+water, as I will use both inside the tank when corals are added) VISI-THERM 100W...

Hey, I am still checking this thread regularly. Last weekend I visited few LFS and I have made my mind regarding the tank I am getting, however I still haven’t bought anything yet but I have been reading a lot on the internet, a lot of people seems to have this tank. I am going for Nano Cube...

Thank you xxBarneyxx for all your help. I am going to visit few LFS this weekend to see what tanks and equipment they have in stock, then I should make my mind what I want.

To be honest the more information I read on various forums the more confused I get, but I have managed to find out that many people successfully managed to have run marine tank without sump or skimmer. So maybe I should only go for setup like this: Tank around 150 litres+ filter, Some...

Thank you for all your help. SkiFletch - I am not too picky about some level of noise, my desktop computer is like a small vacuum cleaner and that doesn't bother me at all but I have read on forums that some people have huge problems with skimmers that get very loud and that's why I am here. I...

Hi This is my first post even though I have read this forum for some time now. I am planning on starting a marine fish tank (got only experience with tropical fish which I had over 15 years ago). I want to start with Fluval Vicenza 180 litres tank+cabinet+filter+lighting that come with it. I...
