[Orey_P]

got rid of my emerald crab, because he completely ate my duncan frag, and put my large hermit crab in back of the tank, because he was trying to eat my smaller hermits.

The emerald crab thing is why I’m getting a puffer lol. I think the emerald either
a) Ate my squamosa clam.
or b) is a ticking time bomb.

i also have an adjustable heater, but i dont know the brand

i also am dosing calcium and magnesium, testing out reef roids and also am putting garlic in my tank to prevent another ick outbreak, witch seems to be working miracles.

How old is the tank?

 

[Orey_P]

about 2 weeks, but i transferred all my water, rock and sand into it so its about 2 years old i guess.

As a side note, I can’t help it but the Domino Damsel will grow to be 5 1/2”. Just FYI.

Ok perfect! In that case, I think a domino damsel is a perfect way to see if your tank is stable.
