well that sucks. it didnt repost the pic. hopefuly you'll be able to figure out what one I was talking about. anyhow I had a suggestion. there are alot of things pictured here that are unidentified. all of the pics are interesting, but I think it would help alot if everything was identified and...

whats the tan/brown fella in the back?? towards the upper left of the photo?

anything that will keep the worm population at bay and kill a ton of aptasia(sp?)?

where should you position powerheads? I ask because I had an idea, but I'm not sure its a good one. at a lfs one of the display tanks had its rock stacked around a milk crate. which gave me the idea to possibly cut down a milk crate, or build some similar structure, and mount my powerheads to...

I have a large number of bristle worms (in the hundreds) in my 46g bow. I have been told that this is a good thing, but in looking for more live rock online, just about everyplace claims part of the curing process is done to remove bristle worms, as they are a bad thing. so now I'm confused as...

fyi the triggers were in for around 6 mos. before any problems started.

yay! I'm glad I can save it. In the next month or so I will have the money to buy 10-20lbs rock, and a skimmer. been looking at that remora, hopefully thats a good choice. maybe I'll ebay the ehiem or put it on one of my fresh tanks. thanks alot for all the help and knowledge.

the majority of the worms aren't dead but they worry me. are they a good thing? or should they be destroyed? they are everywhere. in the liverock, in the gravel and in the transition shells for the hermits. so I should run nothing but the skimmer? or are you saying get a skimmer and something...

I should have stated that this tank was puchased in late september last year. it had been up for 2 1/2 years at that point running nothing but the eheim, and came with some live rock( I added a considerable amount), the two mentioned damsels, one clown a clarki I believe, a yellow tang and a...

yeah removed all of the dead. temp is 78 deg. use a large tub to mix water a bit before the change, and it is only used for that purpose. the only possible solution I could come up with is my fiances chincilla cage being kept in the same room. they take baths in pumice dust. dont know if that...

water parameters pre water change were nitrates around 40ppm, salinity 1.024, 0 nitrites, 0 amonia, ? phos., and ph about 7.9. low I know. after water change I planned to test the next day but EVERYTHING died so I havent checked it as of yet. the only thing I checked after I changed water, and...

not sure what to do here, running a 46g bow with 30-40 lbs. live rock, an eheim pro filter and 175w 10K metal halide. last week I lost a sailfin tang, seemed fine the night before, acting normal, moving fine, next morning he's dead. he was the newest fish in my tank, had only been in for about a...
