thanks for responding. Thats what I kinda was thinking they were. The corals seem healthy with polyps extending out.

they're tiny, the size of a dot made by ball point pen. they appear to be black and move around semi-slow. only can be seen when I moved to a tank with warmer water, come out of hiding off the Acropora. Saw two moving around on the top of a plug I had a acro mounted to. They quickly returned...

Please help. I noticed a couple little TINY black looking bugs moving around the base of one of my acro frags plugs. To small to take a photo of. What could they be and how much should I worry. I noticed why moving from one tank to another, the one tank was a bit warmer which I believe is why...

right in the middle of the tank. right by the yellow tang if you look at the tank photo in my first & last post. do you think it might be bacteria growing on them or maybe algae? you can kinda see something on them. the rock they are on is the only rock that has what appears to be cranyo...

Re: Kolorscape play sand? I've been using that sand for 8 months now in my reef tank with no problems. Even if its silica based you can use it.

hmm? the stuff I used and many others has the silica warning and it is the right stuff. so I'm a little confused with your post?

hmm, must not be the same stuff as I have then. Mine fizzed w/ vinegar (very little). Mine also says the silica warning. still can be used though. Just becasue it doesn't fizz with vinegar, doesn't mean you can't use it, just not going to benifit as much as you would with the aragonite sand.

no, thats the right stuff or it will work. I used Kolor Scape White Play Sand from HD in my 180 gal, blue on bag right?. Mines not that fine course.. Just rinse the heck out of it. It will be cloudy for a couple days or even after rising it.
