Thanks for the ID. I Googled the Peanut Worm and I think we have a match. Thanks again, Van

Hello, I have had this 14G Nano up for about two years and I just found a huge worm in my tank. I have never seen anything like this before. Can anyone identify this creature? Thanks! Van

Thanks for your quick response Sadielynn! I am glad to know it is nothing harmful. With a 14G tank you can never be too vigilant :) Thanks again!

Hello, I found this strange white jelly substance clinging to several of my live rocks. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this may be? Thanks in advance! Van

I ran out of Mysis and Brine shrimp last night and did not make it to my LFS today to restock my supply. Can I feed my Clowns and Gobies diced cocktail shrimp? How long can fish survive without food? Thanks, Van

Thank you for all of your responses! I appreciate the feedback. I guess I am doing something right :) Thanks again.

I just don't think my Gonapora appears unhealthy.

Another Picture of the smaller Gonapora I was having trouble posting this picture for some reason. Anyway, here it is...

I was putting in a new UV sterilizer today and I noticed these bulges on the Gonapora. When my work was complete I investigated these bulges more carefully. It seems as though the Gonapora is shedding pieces of itself. I noticed that each bulge or ball contains around six tentacles and when...

The whole operation only took about five minutes. I will try carbonated water next time. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I chose to err on the side of caution. I removed the mantis shrimp from my tank. unfortunately he did not survive the capture process (freshwater dip). I was hoping to keep him in a nano cube. Anyway, thanks again.

I purchased around 40#'s of live rock from liverocks.com in April. In the first few weeks after adding the rock I noticed my flame goby was missing. I assumed the addition of the liverock stressed him out and the crabs ate him. Anyway, the past few nights while I have been feeding my fish I...

Has anyone had all of their snails release a milky fluid into the water? I was watching two of my snails do this tonight. They made the whole tank cloud up! These are the large variety of snails often called margarita snails. Are they attempting to breed? Van

I just installed an Aquarium Systems Natural Wave Timer along with two Maxi Jet 1200 PH's in my 55 gal tank. I have one PH in each corner of the tank pointing towards the center of the tank. The wave timer is set to about 50 seconds. I have two questions: 1. Will the increased water...

Hello, I noticed that water filtered through my RO/DI unit has a higher PH than my tap water. My tap water has a PH of 7.9. After running it through my RO unit it becomes 8.9. I have tested with liquid tests and a digital PH tester with identical results. I am using the AquaFx Barracuda...

Does anyone have a good technique for catching sick fish that does not disrupt the entire tank. I really don't want to have to remove all of my liverock to get this guy out. I also do not want to stress out the rest of my fish. Thanks, Van

Thanks for the link! The recipe is just what I was looking for. I have a few questions regarding this recipe: It gives the amounts for the dry ingredients but not for the fresh fish or liquids. How much squid, mussels, scallops, shrimp and fish do I add per batch? How much Zoecon and water...

Do you have a recipe for your fish food or is there a website with recipes? I would like to make my own food. Thanks, Van

Check these links out: http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/msubpestbworm/a/aa102198_2.htm http://nucalf.physics.fsu.edu/pfohl/Fish/Reefs/bristle I agree with Sumphead.

I have a four AquaFX Barracuda four stage RO/DI unit. It has a TFS and a carbon stage. Thanks! Van

Do you still have to add water conditioner to RO/DI water? Does the RO/DI filter remove these chemicals? Thanks, Van

I just go my shipment of liverock from liverocks.com. The instructions from liverocks.com says not to cure the liverock. Well, it says not to cure it like normally imported liverock. The instructions imply that the rock is safe to put right in the tank. I don't want to damage the rock by...

Thanks! I have had it for about 1 year. If my shroom surgery goes as planned I just might. These things are growing like weeds. I don't know if I will have the nerve to take a razor blade to my shrooms :D Actually, I have new live rock coming in a few weeks. So, once it is cured I will be...

What do you do when your corals overcrowd a piece of live rock? I have a rock that is loaded with mushrooms (see pic). The rock is so crowded I can not move it. There are mushrooms almost every side. Is there a safe way to remove and relocate these shrooms? Thanks, Van

I converted my tank from CC to DSB about a month ago. Now, my engineer gobies are digging craters in my DSB. I put a nylon mesh screen in my DSB at about 1/2 inch depth to try to thwart their digging. Some of their mounds have buried my liverock. Will this kill my liverock? If they break...
