How long has he been in the tank?
Picking at LR and hermits is pretty natural - as long as he's picking at their shells and not the crab itself. My LM always cleans off shells from my snails and...

Scarlets are supposed to be one of the least aggressive crabs, but yes it's normal for them to fight. Even if you have extra shells for them this often happens. This is why many people decide to...

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. My BTA did the same thing when first introduced. Awesome color on your percs!

regarding hitchikers - I would say their survivability largely depends on where you're buying from and how they handle their rock. Not to mention the condition of your tank. Hikers make things...

check out marshall island too - that's my personal favorite. I believe it's a little lighter than fiji and has a great structure. I also have kaelini in my tank - very nice as well.

I run an ES5-2 on an identical setup and couldn't be happier with it. I think your ES5-3 will do just fine!

I'm very happy with mine too. No problems at all. Just be aware that it reduces some flow so plan accordingly when you select your pump.

Lynnea -

I believe the SCWD is rated up to either 1300 or 1400 GPH so you could go well above a 9.5 and be ok. For your second question, it would do both - increase the flow and change faster. ...

You should be good. Most say to shoot for 10-15 times your size. So you're target rate would be anywhere from 720gph - 1080gph. It's a personal preference though and also depends on what you'll be...

If your glass is tempered then yes, there's a major concern. I've read some people say you can do it with a dremel and a special bit, but I've always been told that trying to drill tempered glass...

I keep LR in the sump. I've never used bioballs, but haven't heard too many great things from those that have. Keep in mind that the LR in your main display will be part of the filter too.

I'd never heard of a pacific until I followed your link, but it's definitely not the same. Fighting conchs aren't covered in coraline like those are. Sounds like their behavior is similar, but the...

Like most on this thread, I'm happy with my SCWD. I run a Mag 9.5 through it and would like more flow, but it's operated flawlessly

Looks like flatworms. Someone just had a really clear picture of them on here yesterday, I'll see if I can find it. If they are the kind I'm thinking of you have nothing to worry about. ...

Well, there's an easy way to see if it's micro bubbles - just turn off your pumps and see if they rise to the surface and disappear. I'm sure there are some, but you are right - it's mostly debris. ...

I can tell you that I use a 9.5 on a 90G with a SCWD and want more flow. If you're running straight into the 90 without a wavemaker then you might be ok, but if you're planning on adding one later I...
