A little update for those that are interested. Once again I'm examining the
statement that once a tank has been "coppered" no inverts can be kept in it.
I have a 120G FO (I love reefs but also butterflies and angelfish). It has
been "coppered" in the past. I introduced three hermit crabs at the
beginning of the month.
As Shane suggested I tested for copper this weekend and found that
detectiable levels of copper are present. Not good, I know. I've got some
PolyFilters coming in and will use them ASAP.
In addition, something very strange happened this weekend. Maybe someone can
explain. I was looking at one of the hermits and he seemed to be dead.
Indeed he was, BUT he was slowly being pushed out of his shell ! The amazing
thing is that ANOTHER hermit was in the shell as well. Is this possible ?
Two hermits in the same shell ? I don't know if the copper killed the first
hermit or he lost a fight for the shell for some reason. Any explanations
here for a FO guy ?
I have put other shells in the tank and one of the other hermits has already
changed his shell.
My intentions is to slowly move more towards a reef setup. Get some good
live rock, dump the wet/dry etc. What is everyone's opionon on 4x96W PC for
my 120 (48x24x24) ?
TIA
