Hi, I have a large biocube currently with a RBTA and 2 juvenile (est. 6-8 months old) onyx Percs hosting in it, running on DIY LEDs. The biocube has SteveT’s fishguard installed, and plastic mesh (sewing grid guide for yarn projects, as per Karen’s Rose Anemones site) tied completely around the powerhead intakes, as part of my efforts to anemone- and fish-proof the tank. I’d like to introduce sexy shrimps and/or porcelain crabs to this system. I did some quick Googling and reading WWM FAQs and noted from some forum posts that porcelain crabs may attempt to boot my clowns out of the rbta, which is why I’m considering adding another (r)bta. I’d probably get one from a fellow area reefer whose rbtas regularly clone themselves (in fact my current one is from him, it’s healthy, feeding, and very colorful, etc.).
