Yea I know. I still have the 5 pieces of rock i started with and recently added these two pieces. I haven't seen anymore and the cycle is still good. All parameters are still good. I will slowly add a few CUC this weekend. I was just freaked out being i've never had this problem before.

Thank you very much. I guess then the store was severely overfeeding, my tank is empty of any fish. I freaked out and was initially told they were very bad and to rid of them immiediately. Are the rock safe to put back in? I'm worried that some are still in the rock (dead) and will mess with...

Hello all. I'm in the process of setting up a tank. 30 gallons, I have no fish yet but have been slowly adding rock. I bought two pieces of rock last week and immediately noticed one of the rocks had bristleworms and fireworms coming out ever hole in the rock. I was advised to remove the...

One of the angelfish has something going on. I don't think it's ich because the others aren't affected. He des t seem to be ill, swims fine and behavior is the same. One of the others chads and picks at him a lot. It looks like he's peeling. Water change has been done, API water test of...

I suspect mom is overfeeding, which she swears she is not doing. The 75 gallon had the problem but no longer does. I will step up the regimen and see how it goes.

very pretty. I have two small zoas I'm trying for the first time. one became detached from the rock thing and keeps floating around, but still opens up whenever it finds a place to "land" lol

Many will say no as canister filters are known to be nitrite factories, but I ran a canister on my 75 without any problems for the year or so I had it running. You will need to stay on top of water changes and maintenance on the filter and you should be fine. Make sure you keep and eye on...

after a little googling, they look like pineapple sponges. Tehy are only attached to the live rock I just got from someone last week, which is full of all kinds of life I seem to be finding everyday :)

I've already identified amphipods in my tank as I still see them floating around and on the sand bed, but I see alot of these things. They hang upside down or otherwise are sticking to the live rock in some way. this one was hiding inside a rock that has a hole thru it. hard to get a good pic...
