Hi folks! I have an unusual critter that has just shown up in my tank. It is a worm of some kind. Kinda pretty, more than 1.25 inches long (that's all I have ...
Does anyone have any experience with red finger gorgonians? My husband and I purchased one this weekend to add some color to our tank, but are really unsiure...
This does definitely sound like a bristleworm. At the size you describe, I wouldn't think this worm would be a problem. You're likely to have some with any ...
Bristle worms usually are thought to be a menace. They have been witnessed on clams and dying corals and are therefore assumed to be the killer. They are, in ...
Thanks to both Anemoneman and Daravose. After about an hour of searching and reading late last evening I have decided that I have a fireworm - supposedly the...
Reconsider your evaluation of your worm being of the 'worst' variety. I still maintain that these are beneficial to the reef community. Check out the info in...
I buy and sell gorgonians and they are weird in a new tank. It may take up to 2 weeks befoe you see any signs of life. Watch for color, if it turns more white ...
How is it possible to put large amounts of live rock in an "open" arching layout (which seems gravity defying) without the rocks falling and so forth? I have ...
Glue the rocks together with underwater epoxy. It's sold in a tube a little bigger than a cigar. Made of putty, you knead it in your fingers before applying....
What are you using for replacement water?? (top off and water changes)<br><br>I have a 15g tank so an ro/di unit does not seem practical because of the little...
Water places in my area sells R/O & somtimes D/I.<br>I stocked up at 15 gal at a time. Now I have my own water unit, I got tired of lugging all that water...
I use a very economical solution that is simply called "The Tap Water Purifier". It has always worked great for me and it does not have the hassle nor expense...

It sounds like you have just about everything you need.<br> I set up and maintain saltwater tanks in my area.<br>With 10yrs.saltwater experiance.<br> Email me...
Ok, let's talk refugiums. What are they? What are they used for? How would I set one up?<br><br>I have just heard about these and I know nothing about ...
Sounds pretty good. to fix your skimmer bubble prob we need to know what kind of skimmer. Live sand is always nice to have but not needed. A wet/dry is also...
Do a search on 'marine refugium'. It is a second 'sub' tank, much like a sump, only lit with substrate(usually a deep sand bed) and macroalgae, sometimes some ...
O.K. - sounds good. What does it do for Nitrates/Nitrites? I have 0 NH3, pH 8.2, alk 2.2, but NO2 is a constant .05 and NO3 a constant 2.5. I can't seem to get...
I don't have your answer about nitrates, since I don't have the unit - although I did just order one - but here is a really good(although 4 year old) review of...
I don't believe that it is going to really do anything for your nitrates. As I understand, not even RO Units will really remove all nitrates, and this tap ...
Thanks...it looks like I'll probably be ording the unit also...beats the heck out of the cost of an R/O unit! The article does mention nitrates...if it will...
Be sure to let me know how it works for you! I have tried everything but a refugium and for my little 30 gal. tank I don't think a refugium would be cost...
