    Hope all are having a great Thanksgiving day with their families. Before I took off after a whole day yesterday with my five year old twins grandson and granddaughter I ran a quick check for selecting a number of possible chitons that I might have in my reef tanks as a part of a cleaning crew. I only began this look into possibly having this species and I know that they grow as small as a few mm to lord knows how large the largest. Im only interested if totally reef safe, for the smaller ones as far as I know should feed on algae. In this clean up crew, im looking into sea cucumbers and starfishes as well, besides the sand sifter that is. Also in the starting of the reef tank, I would only start with snails and hermits. I wouldn't start to get any of these until the tanks are well aged and that includes the sea urchin as well. So with the chitons, any who are using these should add great input to my search and also any other suggestions that might be a good idea to look into for a greater cleaning crew for the reef tanks.

    Will have seven tanks in all: Two 40 gal breeders for QT, one for FO and the other is to be divided into two separated tank sections with their own filters for corals. Two tanks running as one system, a 70 & 130 gal tanks with a 150, 180 and 240 gal reef tanks. In the next few months to come, the 150 and 180 will be started up after I the new QT for corals setup. Finally!!!

    Usually chiton are discovered by accident in a tank as a hitchhiker. I've never seen chiton for sale here in Singapore though.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
    Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
