My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
I’m going to reiterate starting with live rock. I have always stated with live rock. I had the uglies, short duration and easily handled. My tank is over 2 years old, I have never had the dreaded dinos. Don’t get me wrong, dry scapes are beautiful but look at all the threads asking for help with explosive algae problems and they are tanks started with dry rock. I can’t recall a similar thread where someone was complaining with a tank full of live rock. As cuc , besides what is mentioned above I would recommend dwarf red and blue legged hermits, mine have never killed a snail and an emerald crab.
