i got the bristle worm this morning with some tweezers. i tried last night with a turkey baster, let me just say, this method doesn't work very well because the suckers can hang on to the rock, i felt bad killing a life form but i did it for the health of the tank, viva la revolucion

how long has it been in the tank?

anyone use the kent marine nano reef two part chems in their tanks?

i think i will try to build a trap for it. Take an empty film canister, the little black plastic ones with the grey lids, cut a slit big enough for the worm on the top, inside put some brine shrimp, wrapped in some panty hose so it can't escape out into the tank. just put it in the tank near...

thanks, that makes sense

I thought the protein skimmer got rid of debris and organic matter? I am a little confused on exactly what a protein skimmer is. could someone plz enlighten me

so i bought my last batch of rock today, giving me a total of around 15-20 lbs. I was thinking of getting rid of the hob filter and replacing it with a protein skimmer and another small power head, totaling two power heads and the skimmer, anyone got advice for a good nano skimmer?

i got a nano because i move around alot and only plan on being where i am for about another 9 months or so, anyone have much experience moving their tanks, nano or otherwise?
