Default Fuge

I've got a small fuge with some chaeto in it but Maybe I'll grab a couple more hermits and an emerald crab... My fuge doesn't flow fast enough it's like a half gallon

Default Something lurking

Last night while the night lights were on I noticed some white furry legs coming out of the bottom of the rock and they were fairly big any tips on how to find this thing? I put food infront of the hole and out came what looked like a crab?!?!? Arm and scooped it up... Whatever it is I can't ge a good view of it because it's dark and close to th sand bed

A 10 gallons aquarium is way too small for a banghai cardinal. Chances are he won't live very long.

If you have a lot of algae growing then your nitates and phosphates are surely not at zero. Put some GFO in there and that will help.

I would return the banghai and put some fish that are suited for a 10 gallons. A dartfish could work, and maybe one clownfish. You can't put too many fish in there because they might die from lack of oxygen especially if you have no sump and no skimmer.

NO3 and PO4 can read 0 even if they are present. The algae will use them up so the levels are not detectable by the test kits. Regular water changes should help take care of it.

That's probably better. Stability is always best with a nano as the parameters can swing so easily.
