im probably going to hell. i have a blue linkia in my 90 for the last 10 months. i have keep a pretty close eye on him for deterioration and so far so good, he looks as good as the day he went into the tank. one thing i have noticed that each time i add a new piece of coral he is all over the back of it for days on end so he must be getting some good bacteria out of them. besides that i have 3 other large brittle stars and a few smaller ones. most of them all eat pellets, flake or mysis if they can catch them.

If you're looking for inspiration on how nice a small tank can bee, have a look at Fish's 2 gallon cube tank

THATS IS AWSOME!!! The tank and the video of it! That is kinda what I was thinking of. Was the mantis shrimp eating a blue leg hermit? How long have you had those up? I have read that picos and nanos tend to crash.

Do you have a page on how you went about make them? How much did it cost in the end you think?

EDIT: I was just watch it again... I get it.. "shallow waters" LOL, so funny- GJ w/ tank and video again

Here is a link to some common abbreviations that helped me in the past. There are of course more and a couple that I see missing are on a hotly debated topic right now - BB=Bare bottom tank, DSB=Deep sand bed, and SSB=shallow sand bed.
