My Fuji rock is 10 years old. It's fairly nasty due to the last tank my inexperienced mom took some care of for a year. I just read that they are there 'because the nutrients are there' Which I knew, but it MUST be on the rock! I started not feeding my clowns soon as I set it up, not letting any...

Oh wow! Thank you! I'll look into that! I'm looking tonight for species. I'm working on raising a low ph atm, but soon as it gets back up, yeah I'll grab a coral banded shrimp if I can find one. I'm also considering a six line but live aquaria is out off stock on both. I may end up trying a...

Well... finally able to play guitar again. It's painful with the new baby skin and nerve damage but it is what it is. I also finally made a bristle worm trap. I wish looking back I wish I would have thrown that old Fuji rock away like I was advised. And started 100% fresh. I have gfo in the...

Update... (the picture is the blue light just before lights out but pretty to me) Well, the last of the scab from the surgery just came off. I still can’t play guitar with that finger for probably another month or so. My fish are thriving... tank looks fine. Just the regular cycles of crap. But...

Update: Finger- Well... the pain is finally down from my surgery, only splint at night, still keep it bandages, still a bad wound and stitches and still can’t play guitar or apply pressure. Tank: My 2 Clowns are FINALLY home as of a few days ago. [emoji3590] I’m so happy about that!!! I have...

Exactly yes it’s the fret hand. Would rather it been other hand big time. Why it always have to be the left hand? Sighs haha. Still in pain, still in a splint with stitches and nasty wound with nerve damage from his ‘tissue sample” he took. This has been really bad. Still stopped all progress on...

So here’s the picture of my finger almost a week after the surgery procedure to fix the issue as the VA saw forth. I almost wonder if it would have healed better in its own! He Warren me he had to remove some nerves and I’ll have forever numbness which scares me as a professional guitarist all...

Look carefully: https://gyazo.com/cac408c41f897854a6c043c5cc8e9197 Not for the squeamish at heart

Well yeah I certainly figured this out the night I first noticed the swelling. I gather they seem to think I picked up a secondary infection from the bacteria on the live rock being an opportunistic secondary infection. They extended my antibiotics 5 more days. This interrupted my covid shot...

The antibiotics are finally starting to work I think. My finger is black purple and way more mutated by this surgery than I would have dreamed. I would share a picture but it’s pretty gross and could be offensive to people with weaker stomachs. I can only look at it through pictures myself...

This is all new for me. Thank you for letting me know. I just assumed due to the severity it was. Noted I’m incapable of finishing my work with the new tank for six weeks. I managed to start trapping them but with what I saw this morning I honestly wish I would have just started with new dry...

By the time I read that I already had them in the new tank. Using a trap now. Have not brought the clowns over yet due to the problems I’m having with my hands. I didn’t know they are dangerous. Found out the hard way. The doctors are stumped for now. I’m catching them tho.

As I asked here how to rid the tank of detritus worms, I found someone to say the term bristle worm. The local fish store as well spoke with me on it. For years I’ve transferred the same live rock from tank to tank with run of the mill harmless detritus worms here and there, but somewhere along...

Oh and the reason I choose Prazipro is the fresh water kills beneficial bacteria I hear. Trying to keep that so the tank won’t cycle.

OMG I just found out the hard way, they sting! No I didn’t wear gloves. It’s just live rock right? The local aquarium sold me Prazipro, soaked them in that with the old tank water as I bushed the surface lightly with a scrubbing brush for light debris removal. On one finger I found to was...

I forgot to mention what they look like, as I have not quite found an exact picture online but due to the fact they have not harmed fish I 'assumed' detritus worms. However you said Bristle worms. They are white, quite large, 2-3 inches in length and fat like an earth worm. They liked staying in...

Will that kill the worms tho, they’re pretty bad

History : I had a 29 gallon biocube set up in 2013 with Fiji live rock and failed attempts at corals. I upgraded with same live rock in my 75 gallon but prioritized my sick blue hippo ick problem over my corals (only had a few) and decided to stay fowlr for the time being. Medical issues in 2018...
