I found a bunch of little bugs. They are white. Not wormy or big just like tiny dots. They are on my rock all over my glass and my substrate. Any ideas? So small that I couldn't take a picture.

I'll just make sure I ask a lot of questions on the forums before I make moves with live stocking. Should I pick up any other test besides am, nirite, nitrate, and ph? And what should me water parameters be at with them?

The ph did not raise. My brit star bit the big one sometime while I was sleeping. The crabs look ok now as well as the snails. The sand sifter im going to return to the LSF. Thanks for the help guys. I guess I'll have be forced to be wait longer as money won't be avail for super long. But thats...

Thank you so much. I guess I have to sit here and wait it out. I acclimated with a turkey baster. I cut a hole on the top of the bag dropped tank water in. waited 15 mins. dropped more water in. waited. repeated till bag filled emptied half of the water into a bucket and did it again. 2nd time...

Background: 12 gall nano cube 10 pounds of live sand 17 pounds of live rock The tank cycled for 7 days. The am and the nirtire spiked and lowered to 0. I then placed a cleaning crew in 4 days ago (1 brit star, 1 sand sifting star, 10 hermits, and 3 turbo snails.) I was informed my am would go up...

I have a mag and I love it. Its worth the money. Also Mag also backs a 3 year war. If anything ever happens to it. Take it back to the LSF and they will send it off for you.

Are the bakpaks and the remora's able to go in the sump if they are hang on back?

Specs: 50 gall clear for life Euro fill 60 sump Rio HF20 as a return pump (in the sump) SCWD CPR CS102 Overflow 75lbs. of Live Rock 60lbs. of Live Sand Now Im pretty lost when it comes to lighting and a skimmer. I would like to keep hard and soft corals in the tank. The lighting unit I was...

ok great! I'll swing by the lsf and buy some today! Thanks for your help. I thought I had made a mistake and starved the poor fellows... =P

thanks for the info!

Thanks for the input on the sand star. My next door neighbor has a huge 250 so maybe ill just give it to him. So should I worry about there diet? I let the nano cycle for about 2 weeks and a half is there enough stuff in there for them to munch on?

The tank is only a 12 gal nano cube with 15-18 pounds of lr. There are not fish in there yet.... Should there be?

I went to the lfs and bought a clean up crew. Blue leg hermits, turbo snails, a brit. star, and a sand sifting star. And I forgot to ask them what they eat. The lsf store doesn't open for another 3 hours and so I have nobody to ask. So what do they eat after all the tank is clean?

Now when people say vacuum is there a tool that I should get to do that without sucking up all my sand. My sand is super fine grade and is very powdery compared to the crush coral stuff.
