Hello all,
I'm very new to looking after any type off fish but i decided to start at the deep end and look after a reef aquarium and on a small scale, its only 54 litres with 10 kilos of live rock and an 1 1/2inches of live substrate at the moment, i do intend to add more rock, at the moment i only have an emerald crab and red legged hermit crab plus a few corals and sponges which came on the rock i also have loads of small creatures, bristle worm x1 , death plague x1, other things i havn't identified yet but i'll post some pics soon, My main reason for joining the forum is my emerald crab gave birth to 50-100 babys, i turned all pumps and skimmers off, added a air stone and 36 hours later i can still see a few alive the rest i can't see and have no idea where they have gone any ideas on how to care for them cus at some point all my pumps need to go back on, nitrate levels are rising fast and i can't have that my water quality was perfect, help!!!!
