No tiny antennaes, though the tips are a whitish color. I thought they were some type of tube worm or feather duster at first, but they never move or open up. They just grow & die off and collect in the overflow for my wet dry. Here is a couple of close ups. Chris

I have these tube looking things growing on my rock. Anyone know what they are? Good or Bad? They are really starting to take over..... :D Thanks in Advance Chris

Thanks everyone, I drilled a small hole in the output line just below the water surface as you all suggested. I tested it and it works perfectly. Thanks again. Chris

Last night we had an extended power outage that out lasted my battery backup. Normally my wet/dry will quit draining into the sump when the water level drops below the skimmer. Well that did not happen last night! Looks like it continued to siphon water out thru the water output nozzle. This has...

I treated my tank for red flatworms with Flatwork exit. I first siphoned out as many as possible with my python, loaded my canister with fresh carbon. As instructed by the directions I waited 30 minutes to cut on the canister with the carbon, even though the the flat worms started to die after...

Ok, bought some soft corals today.. (some mushrooms, polyps & Zooanthids) Lady at the LFS said it would be good idea to leave my blue atinics on at night. (comments welcome, newbie with corals). I have a 4 bulb setup, 2 white VHO atinics and 2 blues. Is there a way to set up a timer to have...

Yep, crushed coral. I would love to move over to live sand but it would be to much work, maybe when I decide to upgrade my tank... Thanks Chris

Just bought a Six line Wrasse today for a Red planaria problem. Nice addition to my tank. My substate is covered with these things and they also climb up the glass and all over my live rock. We'll see how he works out... I will keep you posted... Chris

Should I use my Python from time to time to vacuum my substrate in a salt water tank?

I have a 75 gallon tank with two 48' blue Actinic VHO bulbs and two white Actinic VHO bulbs. I need to replace them. Any recomendations on replacement and a good place to purchase them online. I have mostly fish and live rock with a few soft corals. The bulbs I have come with the tank and are...

I have lots of red flaky looking things growing in my tank. It moves all over the place. Crawls up the glass and covers my substrate. Reminds me of rust.. Ha! Ha! Can someone tell me what this stuff is? Thanks in Advance Chris

I have a lot of small bristle worms in my tank. What are the pros/cons? Should they be removed or are the good for my tank? Chris

Yep, it pretty cool. has grown from about the size of a dime to now about the size if a half dollar in about a month. I hand feed it frozen brine shrimp and it retracts around the food like my Anemone's do. It normally stays flat on the rock it's attached to but at times will extend itself up...

Well my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Got this one with the tank. Never moves, never retracts. Thought at first was a curly cue but not I'm not sure. Feather duster? Came on some live rock I purchased. Will retract into its shell when spooked. Curly cue or aptasia (sp) ? Me and...

Posted this a while back when it was smaller. It has grow rapidly. Here's and updated picture. Still looking for an ID. Anyone got a clue what this is, kinda looks like some type of anemone to me...

Just got my order in from GARF.org. Went there to order some GARF Grunge and they were having a special on soft corals 10 for $100 plus 2 pounds of grunge. So, I couldn't help my self... now that they are here 2 are Yellow & Orange Finger Gorgonian. Site says they must be feed twice a week...

Got this little critter on some live Rock I just purchased. Green and white short tentacles. The tentacles are very short and pointy, and they are only on the outer edge. Just a clear membrane in the center. When fully open its about the size of a quarter, and will shrink at times to about the...

The tentacles are very short and pointy, and they are only on the outer edge. Just a clear membrane in the center. When fully open its about the size of a quarter, and will shrink at time to about the size of a dime. It will attach and eat frozen the Plankton that I give to my other anemones...

Got this little critter on some live Rock I just purchased. Green and white short tentacles. I think its some type of anemone but I'm not sure? Can someone ID this Hitchhicker for me? Thanks in Advance Chris
