At some point that crab is going to die. At some point the mantis I'd going to need to eat. 

I think you see the road I am heading down. The big deal is to make sure and get video of this. 

Maybe someone has a "bad" crab you could trade your crab for?  I lost 2 emeralds last week. They are going to die at some point so you might as well make it worthwhile. I used to purchase goldfish for my Oscars, what's the difference ? 

 

Good luck and take care. 

 

Yeah, I'd rather be safe than sorry. The lucky contestant is marinating in a floating butter container until I can entice the mantis out into the colosseum for the showdown. I think I'll even give it brondo for good luck. Lol. I'm sure only a few will get that.

Is it at least green?  Hard to tell with the lights.  Claws look black and if they are it's not an emerald crab (as far as i know).  Also the claws do not look like an emerald claw.

If it is it's so suttle. Mostly a greenish brown I guess but the claws are indeed rather dark, indeed nearly black. The tips are the paddle like  kind just like an emerald which leads me to believe it's a herbivore. 

I stopped by premium  wilsonville and asked Erin if he had any decent size "toys" for my mantis to "play" with. All his hermits were pretty small so he says, does it like other kinds of crabs? He then not only produces a large crab but offers it up for free because he was wearry it it most likely a pest. My first thought was it looks like a giant emerald, Erin thought otherwise. I'd hate to let a good cleanup crab go in the name of entertainment.

Does anyone agree? What does it look like to you? 

Weird. This all of s sudden i open up as new material yet the last post I can see is sep 28th 2009. Worse yet I can easily remember some of these great folks. 

I'd use nothing but 100% silicone. Mildue inhibitors are a no bueno. 

Where are you located? Interested in the large German blue and green cap. 

I could really use some of those as well. I'm almost to the point where I have a nice little reef in my aptasia tank.

I went to local pharmacy to buy a syringe with needle but they won't sell it to me without prescription.  I told them I want to use it on my fish tank.  I should have tell them I'm an addict...reef junkie, then they'll probably give me one for free.  haha 

Hit up your local wilco. Needles and syringes all day long. 

Looks great frank! 

A smart man never keeps track of this insanity. Not if he wants a wife......

Ugh. Have to learn the new site all over again.  I am not by any meant computer savvy. 

I'd love one. Just not sure how I'd ever get it.

Not in Washington county but if you ever get down in yamhill county I have what you need. Mine drop babies daily. Weather your looking for massive to small I got em all.

I have a 65 gal already drilled and plumbed and ready to go for sale. Also has a closed loop drilled as well. I'm in Lafayette also.

What are you asking for the yumas? Hit me up if they are still available.

Where are you located? I'll take it.

My display is a 210. 75 gal sump and 30 gal external tank.

I'm from Lafayette as well. Glad to see you here. I run a 300 gal system. Let me know if you need some frags!

What's the footprint on the skimmer?

Just threw out pa 5 gal bucket full of it hours ago. Wish I had seen this sooner.

What's the height of just the cup portion once removed? And do you need any vertical clearance to remove it? . My clearances are pretty tight.

I don't believe that's frogspawn my friend. Looks more like a branching hammer. Nice none the less!

What's the recommended sump depth?
