I got the final pieces of live rock in place a few days ago, some Tonga Branch that has some nice character, and lots of Coraline algae. Unfortunately it has some other algae forms on it as well.I decided also to push my luck and get 2 hermit crabs all ready. The sheer amount of life and food sources on my live rock, and the stability of my water thus far, made me feel pretty comfortable in the choice.
Well I can say without a doubt, Hermit crabs not only can climb live rock, but can pull out sources of food that I cant even see in the rocks, till its dug out and swirling in a cloud around him, amazing!
I cant believe how agile they are, they look so clumsy!

I'm interested in this tank and getting on setup. What's the initial list I'll need? Do I need a protein skimmer?
I think I need:
1. The Biocube 8 gallon tank
2. Live sand - 6.5lbs? Can I order Online?
3. Live Rock - get from Local place?
4. Heater? We live in Boston, MA and it gets cold here
Other things? I'm a little unsure. The local fish place is great - but the premium on the tank is about 50+ bucks more than I can get online - and I really just want to save as much as I can and then use the extra money to get the stuff we want for the tank.
Also - you haven't introduced fish? Is there a reason? We want a couple of clown fish and then the rest shrimp, snails, and other things that will clean the tank.
