Most basic-ist setup

[ilektrik22]

I have to shut down my system due to time etc. but I was wondering what the most basic set up could be to say keep a hermit crab or 2. I was told that you can sucessfully keep them in a glass bowl with just sunlight ( do they need a bubble maker?) just wondering.

Also I'm having problems giving away my sea urchin ( long spined, rock burrowing) I was wondering what the most basic setup could be for him so that I can keep him until someone offers to give him a permenent home.

Thanks

At least you'd have some thing to pick your teeth with when the meal is all done.

Hey the urchin was my first fishy pet, so he's got to stay off the plate!

okay i want to do mininal, very minimal

would this work:

3-4g container
Few pounds or rock and sand
Lighting - would be the sun and a moon light since i can't sell it
Flow - Rio - weak can't remember the rating with a hydor since i have the attachment and it's not worth much
Mangrove tree
no heater
that's it

Could I use just tap water, really don't want to deal with trucking around water, can I use tap, I don't believe mine is that bad.
Would the hermit and the urchin be able to live in there?
Would I have to do water changes, how frequesntly do you think?

I have to plan this quick as I have someone coming to pick up all my rock by the end of the weekend.

sounds good.

 

[Jim Hart]

just spot feed it, and continue w/ water changes

thanks Jim

very cute little tank

I was just reading on a nano site about someone doing a similar style of tank, I think i'll give it a go, but I will use my AC50 instead, I want most of the tank covered so I don't have as much evap. so i'm not sure if the AC would creat to much salt creep.
