    It's said that for more than a month, so I wouldn't worry too much. Also, I have 10 blue-legged hermits that I just got that are supposed to eat hair algae, so we'll see. I'm thinking I should buy more though, because they are really small, and 10 seems shy of the number I need.

    I've heard of people having like 20 hermits in that size tank...

    some people had like 50 in a 55 gallon...

    Marc1986's New TANK!!!! :)

    I got my tank, finally, ended up going with the aquapod 24 with HQI lighting.

    I bought it from a guy on craigslist that had never opened any of the pieces and since the hurricane here he doesn't have the funds to continue with his hobby :( better for me :)

    So I bought:
    20lbs base rock
    20lbs LS
    12 or 13 lbs LR (hitchhikers: mini brittlestars(2) and a few mushrooms, look like Ric, and a tiny emerald crab).
    Bought my saltwater which is RO/DI from the LFS.

    I hope that they all live ;D

    Any suggestions???

    P.S. Sorry I just continued on my old thread but, from this computer here at work I cannot create a thread only reply to them...what the $##&$ is that?
