![]() So the package arrived, at the very end of the day. It contained the following;
![]() I got sucked into another XM bulb. I know Sanjays site doesn't say its great for par, but I love the colour. ![]() ![]() All T5s, plue 1x250w on the right side of the tank. ![]() Close up of the T5s ![]() No MHs, T5s only ![]() The T5s are stupidly bright. I think 9 bulbs would have been overkill. I'll take tomorrow to figure out what we want for a schedule and then program the associate timer. |

![]() Looks good, Catherine! I love me some T5's.
Question: why is the acro crab bad? I've never heard before that they are. |

![]() There seems to be two different types of acro crabs. The good kind are hairless, and often have a black mask type pattern over its eyes. This is the bad kind, they kill the good ones, and seem to eat the polyps on the sps. They all seem to have light blue eyes, and a hairy body.

![]() Yeah, I'm not sure that's really an 'acro crab' per se as it is a 'crab that came in on an acro.' I had one like that, it definitely ate SPS polyps yum yum, and grew from a wee little 1/4" to between 1/2" - 3/4" in the space of a few weeks before I was able to catch him. I stupidly put him in my 110g cube at the time, I'm sure he's still in there along with the dozen or so other HH crabs in that tank. Man they live forever.

![]() Gotcha. I recently imported 3 acro crabs (well, along with three colonies
![]() Side note: 2 of them live in a birdsnest colony. Do I still have to call them acro crabs? ![]() |

![]() You're right, I should have called it the crab that arrived in the acro, or acro-eating good acro crab killing evil crab. That particular crab is also the infamous Mr. Fugly I believe.
Nah, give them a cool new catchy name, or an amusing one (similar to the bio balls thread). |
