    Definatley, I love seeing new lif and watch it grow. Call me sick but it give me a "god complex" as far as my reef is concerned. I love my cube...its so easy to watch everything up close.

    About the snails i know thay have a taste for zoanthids...so i fed all of the to my trigger...which i later thought about and they may get toxins from the zo's...? As for the crab, to keep the thread on track i would recomend starting a new one on ur killer crabs.

    Yeah i have been Blade...mostly at school though. The cube is otherwise flourishing despiter that i havent done an algae scrub in almost 2 months.
