So far, what has been the fate of any acro crabs? While I certainly hate red bugs, I really love my acro crabs and wouldn't want to kill them. Any easy methods of extracting them before treatment?

I need to toss SPS frags weekly. All the local reefers have frags from me, the LFS won't take anymore and I just don't have room.

I had a pinktail in my reef for a while. Really well behaved until he started eating things :D First was alarge orange gorgonian. Completely shredded that. Then he picked on other things. Found him with a crab claw stuck to his lip one day!! Had to remove him from the tank to get it off LOL

That's easy for you, you're in a basement. You know who isn't going to like a hose running out the wall in the livingroom!! :P

I feed an open brain and a hammer about twice a week. My SPS get nothing from me adding to the tank. Once in a while I feed GPs, but I can't say that does much. I think I have a lot of life in th etank supplying planktonic food for the acros.

Adam, you are such a show off!!! :D Tank is looking good!! I'll come see it tonight maybe....

I agree, Charles. However it would be great to have that documented as evidence for this client. The bulb was $200 CDN to replace.

This article by Richard Harker does not really address the possibility of bulb failure due to nipple orientation. I have an associate that had to replace the bulb on a clients' tank when the bulb failed. The client insisted that the nipple pointing down was the cause of failure and will happen...
