He he ... OK, so a couple of interesting critters to watch out for when handling things in your tank.
BTW: Will Aiptasia & Mojano sting humans, or are they only "dangerous" to fish and corals ?

ya, scraped them out on a knife. guess i was lucky
Majano- no never heard of them sting but yes Aiptasia will sting if you have a sensitive skin or if they get you on a soft spot like the insides of your elbows!
Ok guys,
Put a small clean-up crew in yesterday:
- 1 x hermit crab
- 1 x snail (not sure what kind)
- 1 x fish (not sure what kind) - one that helps clean-up.
This sounds bad
, that I don't know what types - reason being is that hubby went to buy the crew (I had to work). He can't tell me more detail.
BTW - I am still to see this fish
- It is apparently hiding somewhere. I am telling hubby that he is lying about this fish......... Haven't seen it since I got home last night.
2. TESTED water this morning, as follows:
PH = 8
KH Alkalinity = 7
Amonia = <0,01 mg/l
Nitrite = 0,02 mg/l
Nitrate = 2 mg/l
Calcium = 430
Magnesium = 1340
Are these levels OK?

Hi Peanut - Your parameters looks ok - SLIGHTLY hi'ish ammonia/nitrite levels - but this should be ok. Give your tank another 2 or 3 weeks before adding anything else to it, in the form of fish especially.....
Hi Peanut, did you acclimate the fish / cuc? Or just stick them straight in?
jacquesb, thanks and the intention is to wait two weeks before ading any more livestock.
Mouse, we acclimitised the guys over a couple of hours (left bag for about 45 mins in tank to get same temp, thne add little by little water to bag, then transfer guys into tank).
I think the fish is a gobie - blue stripe.
Will try get pics to post.
