    IPSF Order

    Hello All,

    I just placed my IPSF order and I wanted to make sure I ordered the right items. I have a 55g with corner overflow. 10g sump, berlin turbo skimmer. 150 lbs southdown, 10 lbs LS from Reefland, ~65 lbs LR. Clean Up Crew - Arrow Crab, Emerald Crab, Coral Banded Shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, 10 red leg hermits, 10turbo snails, 10 blue leg hermits. Couple of urchins that came on Gulf-View LR. Yellow Tang.

    This is my order:

    6 baby bristle worms
    6 baby Trocus Grazers
    6 Nerite Grazers
    6 Strombus Grazers
    Reef Amphipods
    Live Sand Activator
    6 Hawaian Turbo Grazers
    Wondermud
    N-Reducer
    I would like to add the Mama Mia worms to the package.

    If anyone has any suggestions on what I do not need or need to add PLEASE speak up. The order can be changed before tomorrow.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Since your tank is up and running , why dont you get the Mama Mia worms and forego the N-reducer? Sand bed diversity is what you need .
    In this hobby patience is not a virtue,,,,,its mandatory.

    The Mama Mia worms were only available separately. I decided on the N-Reducer only as a way to fill out the 9 items. Is there something else I should get instead?

    I think the N-reducer comes in the package deal with Live sand Activator, so you get that anyway. I thought the baby brittle stars were really neat. When I got mine I put an inverted glass over them to keep them from being eaten until they burrowed in the sand. That was the last I ever saw of them, but I assume they managed OK. Maybe they eventually got eaten up anyway. But the worms have prospered and propigated. I find them from time to time, all the way from tiny to humungous.

    ipsf is a good place to order from. I've done so four times.

    Oh, I didn't see you were getting the 9 for 99. I'm with Blue Tuna, replace the n-reducer if you can.

    I see you have a tang. How about Red Tang Heaven. My powder blue, hippo and foxface go into a feeding frenzy over it.

    Hi Orion

    I purty much agree with above....since you probably wont be ordering more from IPSF for a while you better make sure you get what you need.....IMO WORMS WORMS WORMS....get as many worms as you can get now!!! this is the most important part of what you order from them...its all important but the worms are very important....IMO it would be silly to not get some spagghetti worms from him. HTH

    Wont your arrow crab and CBS have a party eating all of that? I know in particular that arrow crabs like to eat bristle worms.

    Something to consider

    Ok, before the order gets here should I remove the arrow crab. What about the emerald (minthrax) crab? Also I have a few blue leg hermits in the tank. Should I remuve them or not? They are small (<.75 inch)

    Thanks for all the help!!!
