I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

depends on type but typically a 20g long tank will do. They are very hardy and only need a hang on the back filter rated slightly higher than the size of the tank and low wattage fluorescent lights. then just coral rubble substrate and a couple pieces of live rock for them to build burrows under. i give you a whole write up on setup if you like.
