Here are some pictures

So these guys came in on some live rock and multiplied quite a bit. I know they're bristle worms but im not sure which kind. More importanly are they harmful to fish or corals? I caught one of the clownfish trying to eat one earlier, so i hope they aren't poisonous. Any info helps, TIA!!

Kinda what i thought but wasnt 100%

So i noticed these guys a little bit ago. I've been trying to look up some stuff to find out if this is aiptasia or feather duster babies. Ive never had coral in the system. I did however recently get a feather duster and beganto dose marine snow every 2 or 3 days. I count 5 in total. Let me...

Thats true, I've considered her eating some and figured it would probably happen to a few. But she really doesnt appear to have given birth to any of them

Well I dont have a testing kit for my freshwater aquariums, though i do have one for my marine aquariums, not much help i know [emoji28]. The tank was cycled before i put fish in it at all and its had them in there for about 4 ish months. I plan to pull out the fry and put them in a breeder box...

So this is my female swordtail. She looks ready to drop her fry and it appears to me like her birthing tube has descended. Only thing is she wont drop her fry. Ive removed the males from the tank and she is the only one left. She's showing all the signs of dropping, like hiding, squared off...

Does anyone know what this thing is? It moves around really quickly and has gotten much bigger since i first noticed it. It seems to eat algae on the glass and is definitely nocturnal. He doesnt seem to attack the pair of clownfish in the tank. Thought i would share and see if anyone could tell...

I pulled this off a pump yesterday during a wc just wondering what it is

Okay guys another update! Clowns are in! Ive always had a soft spot for ocelleris clowns so i went with a pair of those. They have been in the system for a while now. All readings are solid. However, nitrates are a bit high, the crabs eat nearly all the algae and keep the tank clean. The most i...

UPDATE: Hey guys, i know its been a while but i have an update for everyone. I went ahead and added a small clean up crew. 4 hermits and a nassarius snail. I can be more specific on the crabs if anyone really wants to know. They have been in the system for about a week, cleaning algae and...

Yea, it all really does depend on what species you want to keep. I would start there and then decided how many fish you can add safely. The inch per gallon is a very rough estimate used to determine only the very basic and common types of fish. Like someone else said, the fish might be fairly...

Well its open at the moment because i dont have any sort of lid, however i planned to add one anyway to help with evaporation

Yea he was probably just being territorial. How big is the aquarium?

Should i even use a skimmer if i dont add any corals?
