Back in Feb., I thought it would be cool to set up a local sw tank. I collected sand/mud and oyster shells from a local bay. I transported them back to the house in tubs with water from the bay. I set them up in a 40g tank with a fluval 205 cannister filter, penguin 200 biowheel power filter, powerhead, and sea-clone 100 skimmer. It's lighted with a coral life compact flor w/ led moon lights. I was planning on letting it run for a month or so before adding any legal locally collected live stock. To my surprise, all kinds of life started to appear. Multitudes of crabs, shrimp, and a few small fish came out of the oyster shells. The largest crabs were the size of a quarter, but look at them now!!!
