Yes, I had true peppermints eat my hammers... BF wouldn't believe it and wasn't until one of the peppermints was well into muching 4th and caught in act that believed. At that point we removed them so two hammers survived (but can't say 'hammer garden' with only two). Don't know if all three peppermint shrimp were doing it (suspect not), but at least one peppermint was being very very very naughty

Yea, that's why I haven't gone with them.

Welcome! Glad you joined - this is a great hobby for family, though at that age make sure they can't reach sump or anywhere they can drop items into your tank's water. About 10+ years ago one of my nieces decided to 'punish' a fish after hearing her parents talk about fish - she dropped in enough salt to wipeout tank (didn't help that it took a while for my sister to figure out what had happened, which also contributed to the severe result).

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. Like you, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID h

I put child locks on the cabinets so they can't get in the Sump and thank God it's too tall for them to reach the top of the tank even standing on the couch. They are 2 and 3, and they know not to mess with mommy's tank. Lol

Also, I'm trying to figure out the build badge, I entered the skimmer giveaway contest and want to update it but don't know how to. Still getting to know the site and tricks.

Ok, so I think I did it, created the build thread. Is this correct?

Hey there, I've had salt water tanks for about 5 months now. Started with a 60, that leaked, then switched to a 55, and just upgraded about 4 weeks ago to a 110 gallon. I have a Sump and going to hopefully add a protein skimmer by Christmas, fingers crossed. I have about 29 frags(all LPS and...

Follow me, going to be adding other fish, rock and who knows what else(within a budget...lol) in the next few months.

Let me be among the first to congratulate you on your build thread! It does take a few hours for it to show up (it is there now) so that may have been why you were uncertain - YOU ROCK!
