    Thanks! Yeah I'm actually looking into some of them right now lol...trying to stay under $30, its a small tank so I don't think I need a really powerful one. Craigslist here isn't that great....

    As for the Kenya, I actually might take you up on that :) ... thinkin about putting it on the back side of the base rock where it's kind of flat. I'm going to check my water peram. and read up on them a little bit more so I don't end up killing it the first week lol. (hopefully the puffer won't nip at it)...I'll
    let you know or PM you on what I'll end up doing

    Like I said, let me know if you need help moving or something. Thanks again for helpin out a fellow newcomer!

    Ya kenya trees are pretty easy. Just know that they can be pain when the start dropping babies all over the tank. :) Welcome to 3reef.

    That's an awesome tank you have there, matey! Like the others have said, the horseshoe crab will outgrow your tank, but if you're going to upgrade, you'll be fine. Just make sure it eats because they starve to death without proper care. Welcome to 3Reef and a super exciting/awesome addiction!
