Re: New tank update....
yeah, I thought it was going to be a 55, thus I thought I might get away with a trigger. Now I'm not so sure. If not, a lionfish will do nicely

Re: New tank update....
Do like Fatman says, rinse the sand in saltwater. That will make sure that everything stays alive, but you can get some of the crud out that way.
I agree -- gorilla crab = bad.

Re: New tank update....
Why would a gorilla crab be bad in a predator tank?

Re: New tank update....
A gorilla crab wouldn't be bad in a predator tank, but in a reef tank it would. In a predator tank, it'd likely end up as food for a trigger or something.
