Harrys Juwel Rio 125 Marine Tank

[Harry1996]

its made out of plastic and i would buy some plastic and glue it togehter. to make a return section. and the other part a refugium and the intake. would this work? because the cabenet is so small that is the best i could do. or make the hole sump out of plastic then i could house a skimmer.

here is the update you are all waiting for

the rock i got came from the tank full of corals and the rock had been in there for over 4 months
i added live sand because me and my dad couldnt be botherd to wash a whole load of sand also i brought coral gravel.
ph 8.1-8.2
nitrate 10
nitrite 0
ammonia <0.25 all good so far also after adding 2 bits of live rock a pale crab came out also found 3 snails.

 

[aly_starh]

wow, the rock looks very *alive*

In a tank with corals ehh? I wonder if some 'jumped' onto the rock pieces you have

 

[AK77]

Some nice bits of rock there. I wonder what crab you have?? Try and get a picture if you can.

 

[seffieuk]

[Harry1996]

yes i will and try and get a picture of the crab i am very pleased i am going to add more rock mybe 2-3 kilos at the moment i have 15.5kg. in 25 mins im going to get a red light and see what els i have its time to go udercover just seen a shrimpy thing with no legs on the sand

 

[razer121]

haha there just "ugly" ent they?? very cool mind!! i want to see more pics

 

[Harry1996]

well the only things i sew was 2 shrimpy things with no legs and 2 snails that i all ready seen. but as i was going to bed i noticed somthing like a spider on the rocks as i looked closely it was a crab. this one was dark brown or greenish colour
it was big i would say the shell bit (carnt remember what you call it) was a good 3 or 4 cm it had black eyes i think. i coulnt get a picture of it because of my crapy digital camera its got good zoom but in macro setting its rubbish it only realy works on flowers and thats it. could this crab be the same one i saw in day light but it was just pale because it was stressed? i get you more pictures of the rock as the sand has cleard

the brown thing

now looking at the picture bigger i think i have 5 aiptaisa one i havnt taken a pic of because they are small
