Thanks for reading all my posts.LOL

Looks like aiptasia under your coral and towards the back. You are coming along nicely.

In a saltwater tank your Live rock is your filter. an external would only be good for carbon. The pumps would only be for circulation. You need good lights, either T-5 Ho lights or the newer LED lights.

Most sponges are just fine. Just keep an eye on it so it don't over grow something that you like.

No, problem..we all cover each others back.. On a side note, I run my waste water into my washing machine. It's good enough to use to wash my clothes.

I Would not drink the waste water from your RO/DI unit. Yes, it is from your tap, but with concentrated levels of impurities because the super clean water was removed and is the end product that we use for our reef tank.

As Bige stated it's more then likely a sponge.

We need a picture, please.

That picture looks like a spinoid worm.

Have you cleaned it resently? Some times just after you clean it then it will run wild for a little while.

neilanh, here is my entry:

This is not correct! you don't wait until the nitrates get to 20 ppm's. You must get into the habit of doing either 20% PWC every two weeks or better yet every week. If you wait you will only stress your animals.:confused:

Looks like "Hydroids" and that's a sign of to much nutrients in the water. How old is your tank and what are the parameters?

What are your water parameters? Looks like that coral is not doing to well. Post your water conditions and maybe we can help.

Nice catch! Tank looks awesome...

More then likely it's diatoms( it's part of the cycle that your tank will go through) and you can blow it off the rock with a turkey baster or just let it be and it should go away in time.

Just wipe it down with some vinegar and then rinse it wrell with fresh water.

If this Discus tank is planted it would not be a good Idea to use a Skimmer because the skimmer would remove nutriants needed by the plants. Better to spend your money on a good filter.IMO

Air is air and brineshrimp is not the best. Look in the Asian section of your Supermarket and buy some Dried Nori. Make sure it's just Nori with no additives. Another good food is "Ogo" also in the Asian section. Suppliment with Mysis. Varitiy is the best.

Please don't post twice on the same subject.

VERMITID SNAILS These filter feed by throwing out a mucous "net" to catch food.

Salt creep only developes about the water line. I think you have fine particles on your glass from sand residue. Just wipe it down and it should stop after your sand settles.

I would check your Alk levels. When was your last PWC and what are your readings now?

You don't have to worry about Gold Bar Maroon's. They get big and very aggressive and more then likely will kill youor flame if you don't have enough space for them to get a territory.

Mini dusters are fun to watch. I would leave it alone and see where it goes.
