thanks i thought thats what they were.. i have a ton of copepods as well an im not sure if thats how they feed. my goal is to get them all out. i will be doing dwarf seahorses and the hydroids will kill them. any way to help get rid of them physically to start eliminating? or is there a clean...

i found these tiny little critters on the glass of my tank. i noticed 2 , next 4 and now there are a lot more. i took a picture through a magnafying glass, its the best i could get it, sorry.. but im wondering what these are? could they be hydroids? brittle star babies? im stumped. thanks for...

i just got a biocube myself ... are you having any temp issues such as havign high temps? i need a temp of 76-78 for what i will put in there and i am having a hard time getting it lower than 79-80? just wondering.

i have been cycling my tank for 25+ days now. about 2+ weeks ago brown algae started growing all over the LR and on the sand. i believe its diatoms. it is getting worse by the day and its really hairy looking by now. is this something that will clear up on its own or can i do something to clean...

i have a 14 gal. oceanic biocube which i am cycling for dwarf seahorses. i need to modify the filter intakes and the out put to lessen the flow. can anyone recommend how to do so,what to use and how to do it. i have never modifed an aquarium. thanks

yeah i am getting a better look at the starfish and it does look like a brittle star. i was actually able to see all legs and there are 5. so if thats right i got 1 thing IDed :) as for the red bugs, they dont look like the ones in the picture. the best way i can describe them is they look...

i have found new life in my new set up :).. tonight i found a spider looking thing~ i am assuming its a starfish of some sort. i havent been successful in getting a picture, so the best way to describe it, it is kinda yellowish and like a spider. any ideas? the next thing i found are tiny...

thanks i lifted the hood for a day and a half now and it cooled down a good 5F. thanks

well its macro algea i have i think but i have turned the lights off and opened the hood to cool the tank, its at 83F and the plant is turning greenish again. could it be to hot? i cant get my tank to get cooler, what can i do? (its a 14 gal oceanic biocube)

i dont think i wrote anything about alk in a thread. i havent tested for that.? all my levels for ammonia, nitrIte, nitrate and ph all seem fine. does anyone think a WC is needed?

OH NOOO... i just checked on my tank, i bought macro algae plants today and one of them is almost completely whit too now. what is going on?

i have a 14 gal. oceanic biocube i am setting up for dwarf seahorses. i have it set up and running with all its original parts and settings. i have read and heard some say it needs to be tweeked or modified, like the filter. intakes and all that other stuff. im clueless on modifying a tank...

ok thanks

yes thats what it looks like! i was told to use the biozyme to add good bacteria to the tank. i didnt do it becase the lr turned white though, i just think it was coincidence it happened the time i started and wasnt sure if it had anything to do with it. so should i stop using the biozyme? (if...

i had a question about my cured live fiji rock turnign white. when i bought it a week ago, it had purple and red on it. as of 2 days ago i started adding biozyme to my cycling tank. today i noticed that almost all of the purple and red have turned white. could it have anything to do with the...

i didnt use a shrimp just the fully cured LR. i added some flake fish food last night to see if anything would change within a few days. i will def. wait longer if i need to or not for the cycle, im in no hurry to hurt my future dwarf seahorses :)! so i should add the LR all at once, what about...

i have another question.. if i want to add more lr should i be doing this during the cycle process or does it matter when i add it? i only have about 5-6 lbs for my 14 gal. right now. also i did a complete test today and the levels are ph~ 7.8 ammonia~0pmm nitrIte~0pmm nitrate~0pmm salinity is...

thanks i will try that & get a refractometer. :)

I have the fully cured rock in the tank, only about 6 lbs. so far. I did a ammonia test which read 0 ppm today. is that normal this early on? and the salinity levels, which seem to be a little high at 1.026. i was going to wait another day to make sure all the salt is disolved and check again...

It is fiji rock that i bought at the lfs . they told me this would start the process and i didnt need raw shrimp. does that sound right? bare with me im new to this and still trying to figure out to use this site. thanks for helping. :)

I just purchased a 14 gal. oceanic biocube. I set it up to start the cycle process. I have evertything set up with what came with the biocube, I added salt, sand and some live rock. Im not sure what my next step exacly is. What tests should I do at this point and how often? and what else should...
