Found the store where I bought the last live rock (Fumi's fish store in LA, CA). And they have those little white critters all over the glass in the coral tank. Very small micro fine white dots that move in little spurts. They claim they are not lice, but do not know what they are called. They...

Went by my local pet store last night. They say it is definitely (I forgot the technical term) Saltwater Lice. They said probably one of the Mushroom rocks I purchased (from them) last month had some lice larva in it. And they managed to hatch and to spread unnoticed. Once I scraped the sacks...

No, that is not them. Not q-tip sponges, nor copepods. I am going to treat the tank with Kick Ick for the fish. The stuff I scraped of looks like the q-tip sponges but whiter, and imagine at the top of each sponge is a small clear white feather duster I talked to Petco in Pasadena (flagship...

My tank was fine up until this morning. Two days ago I noticed some white growths on the back wall of my tank. They looked like tiny fat pineapples. So I used my long scraper, and got them off the wall, easy enough. So this morning I wake up and my tank in infested with tiny white little...

Correction: I put bubble-tip by mistake (I have a bubble-tip at home). I meant to put carpet anemone. They tend to do well in low light.

That was funny. I know they can be a little inconsistent at times. But seriously, I wrote this article because I set this tank up using logical reasoning. After watching a pet store set up a 4 gal. reef tank, by plucking live rock and animals from other tanks, and setting it up in a half hour...
