    i stated a ref as part of my sump. the ref isnt all that big but im starting to get brown stuff at the bottom. i do have a couple snails in there from the LR i grab from the DT. ive also dosed it tody with pods. is the a certain crab i should have in there? its prob about 5g ref. i have a few hermits and emerals in the DT but if i could put something else in there just to make it differt that would be kool.
