Good to see the algae situation improving. Interesting to hear about the arrow crab although they freak me out! Loved your wrasse photo bombing the crab 😀
Thanks mate, the algae is definitely getting better! The arrow crab is a great addition as is really interesting to watch, the wrasse always wants to be on camera now haha
Looking good mate! 👍 Glad you are winning the battle with the algae! My Urchin is doing a great job with mine, he does like to steal frags and stuff to wear though! 😂
Thanks mate, appreciate it! I had looked into it but the reef glass is not available in the UK so I think I will just stick to running without one and see how I get on
Another great update mate tank is looking great and the colour of the corals is A+, the arrow crabs are creapy thing's, they look like spiders to me and I absolutely hate spiders Lol 🤣🤣, the algae has definitely cleared up alot , even in the last week or so 👍👍
Thank you very much mate, its slowly getting better, will just take time now, the arrow crab does look like a spider and moves like one too! It's a fast little thing haha!
Hey Ross thank you for the video the tank is looking awsome. I live near nesseis lair and didn't even know about it im just getting in to the hobby and I'm looking for a good place to go for advice thats not dobbys lol so you just saved me and my bank balance cheers mate
Hello mate, welcome to the hobby, Nessies Lair is by far the best LFS I've ever been to, if you pop in Jamie will be able to help you out no problem, he is a great guy! I'd avoid the Debbie's stores if I was you, the ones around here are not great 👍
Interested in the FX solution too I'm also having a major algae outbreak, no idea where it's come from but it's everywhere! Going to have a big clean this weekend and if that doesn't improve it will get some of that to try
I really liked my arrow crab. One of the coolest things is to see them dismantle a bristle worm. The algae situation looks a lot better! One thing I did with Flux rx is I would turkey baste the rocks and algae then use a toothbrush to help break it up and get the treatment the the algae roots. I guess that's 2 things but you get it.👍
Thanks mate, yeah they are fascinating to watch! I spend ages sitting watching it feed, the algae is definitely a lot better, im changing the floss at least once a day now as it's thick with algae thats came off the rocks, ive been using the Turkey baster and the brush too, they both work really well! 👍
Super interesting to hear about the arrowcrab. I've always liked them, but was worried how they might interact with my blood red shrimp. That green hair algae has improved so much in a week - very impressed. Great update mate 👍
Thanks mate, the arrow crabs are so cool to watch, they might go for the shrimp if it's slow, I have 2 sexy shrimp in my tank and they just keep out of the way, keep it well fed and you should be ok. Yeah im getting there with the algae, hopefully be gone in the next week or 2. Thanks again mate! 👍
Thanks mate, haha yeah he is very spider like, especially when he moves quickly but I really love watching him, yeah all good here mate hope you and the family are keeping well!
Great vid Ross enjoyed the live chat keep up good work reefer 👏
Thank you very much mate! 👍
Great video Ross 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much Steve! 👍

Thanks mate, its slowly getting better! Oh you need to get him a hat!
Tanks looking great brother ! You planning on to getting a skimmer ? My reef glass skimmer is perfect for our tank!
Thanks mate, appreciate it! I had looked into it but the reef glass is not available in the UK so I think I will just stick to running without one and see how I get on
@@BeardedReef check on Amazon they have the same type of skimmers
@@Botzz28 thanks mate I will have a look
Interesting little crab good to see him munching through the algae 👍
Thanks mate, yeah he is really cool to watch!
Do these eat flat worms
Not to my knowledge no

He is so cool !
Thanks mate, its a great addition to the tank! Brilliant fun to watch
Stunning new corals there Ross. Not sure about that crab though... It looks way too much like a big spider for me 🙈😂
Thabks mate! Hahahaha it moves like one too, its fascinating to sit and watch tho!
@@BeardedReef it's making me shiver just thinking about it 😂😂
Haha you should see how fast it can move too!

Eeek love his blue pincers but way too much like a spider for me 😂😂
Haha yeah its very similar to be honest, I don't mind spiders at all so I like this guy in the tank!
@@BeardedReef if I put my hand in the tank and it touched me I'd actually die 😂
Interested in the FX solution too I'm also having a major algae outbreak, no idea where it's come from but it's everywhere! Going to have a big clean this weekend and if that doesn't improve it will get some of that to try
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh, poor little guy! its just a little crab haha 😝😝
@@dragonfly_minatures the Flux RX works really well! I'd highly recommend it!
How powerful do you run your Nero 3?
I'm running it at 30% mate
Great vid as always Ross. The algae looks alot better this week. Nice new livestock too.
Thanks mate, yeah its getting much better now, I can't wait for it to disappear!

Mine was a big boy. Pretty sure he died of old age. I've read they don't live super long.
He looks awesome, yeah I'm sure they only live around a year
Sure is a cool looking crab
Thanks mate, it really is!
Just keep your arrow crab fed! They will take out small nano fish when they are sleeping if they get hungry enough!
Thanks mate, I will do, fingers crossed that doesn't happen then!
Oh nice one . Hope u don’t have to jail this crab lol
😂😂😂
Haha fingers crossed, but worst case the jail is still open so the option is there haha!

Cool Crab mate. We’re all arachnophobes in our house so he would go down well in our tank 😂 Too spidery. Hope you’re all well 🙂
Thanks mate, haha yeah he is very spider like, especially when he moves quickly but I really love watching him, yeah all good here mate hope you and the family are keeping well!
Ross, I would be cautious with that puppy. I had one, he grew pretty quickly and became an eating machine taking a particular liking for my clam.
Oh that's not good, I dont have a clam but will definitely keep an eye on it! Thank you!
My god the price tag on the tank as a lot. I’ve put 2k usd into my 15 gallon micro, it’s nothing like yours
I love these guys, but theyre 40 bucks here in the states. Or atleast in Louisiana anyways
