    I've been reading conflicting reports on hermit crabs. I am looking for a "brand ;D" that will do a good job "cleaning" but won't harm any of my coralline algae. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have MH lighting and my calcium is around 450- 460 PPM. That's all I know!

    The main thing is calcium. Get it up there.

    i agree good calcium and alk. but with the crabs eating the corraline they dig it up and the pices that float around can actually help it grow elsewhere.
