As for hermit crabs, they're all evil. Even when they're relegated to the sump they find a way to wreck something down there (pump impellers most likely)

Hermit crabs are useless... I got rid of all of mine because they had done nothing for my tank. They were somewhat entertaining though, I had a scarlet hermit that would go climbing up the tank walls digging into the silicone, then get on top of my cleaning magnet and chill out there for the day.... it was pretty hilarious.

Whatever would people mount frags on though without dead snail shells???

Actually .... in all seriousness .... friends don't let friends glue frags to snail shells!! Isn't a snail's death sad enough as it is? We don't need to make it a tragedy as well.

Talking

After all the reading that i done , concerning startup of a new system in regards to cleanup crews, i thought cleanup crews were necessary. But are they really necessary? hmmm. Reading thru these threads or post's that u guys have written seems like u don't really need them.Maybe we should have a snail race , turbo's only and watch r-s-car go. Winner takes all . mmm mmm good. ESCARGO's
