Along with the small 'white dot' copepods and 'C' shaped amphipods, I have what seems like MILLIONS (ok.. slight exageration) of these little guys all over my glass, rock and sandbed. They are about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch long, have antennae and legs that splay out in all directions. They...

ok... what I have are definately not cirolanid isopods.. (whew) thanks guys! :)

I found a picture of what I was thinking were isopods. They are the larger bugs in this picture.

Looks like a monster BTA! Anyone else?

I have an Oceanic 37 gallon semi-cube with an Orbit 24" pc compact hood. The setup was a 2" sand bed, 40 pounds of live rock, 3 green chromis and 2 false percs. I had 1 zoanthid colony, 1 colony of green star polyps, 6 astrae snails, 5-6 nassarius snails and 5-6 blue legged hermits. Back in...

Are they crustaceans, like some sort of small shrimp things, or are they more like little spiral worm-type things... If they are the spiral worm things, I've got them on my live rock and parts of the glass I can't clean. I haven't noticed any in my sump yet, but I'm sure they are there also...

If you can obtain a starter culture, you could try farming them as described at this website: http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/copepods.shtml says it takes about six weeks, but it could be a good backup source for live foods. I think I'm going to give it a try :)

sorry I don't have a camera, I'll try to describe them the best I can. I have noticed these white spots on my rock and glass (about 1-2 mm in diamter) they apear as white spots with a curly-cue worm inside.. could these be baby snails or something different?

A few days ago, I started to notice wispy brown hair growing from the edges of my LR... today it's is more pronounced... the brown hair seems to be growing from brown clumps and I noticed an almost clear coating around the area of the clumps... is this a form of Cyanobacteria? I had a bad...

<duplicate post> Ack!

I too am interested in Garf's Grunge or the Grunge Plus to try to add a little bit more life to my refugium and sandbed.. anyone have any stories on it.. it looks like the Grunge Plus consists of pretty large gravel...

Plantiff: Residents Of The Tank Defendent: Mr Blue Legged Hermit Presided over by the honorable ME Arguments for the plantiff: On Wed July 7th, 2004 Mr Blue Legged hermit was seen on the junction of rock and sand sporting the shell once belonging to Mr Nassarius Snail. Let the evidence show...

if that is a 37 gallon tank, I just bought that exact tank and stand... how stable is yours on the carpet?

that's an interesting thought!

Super! Thanks for the advice guys! I'll collect the supplies and give this a try. but first.... Any ideas on stabilizing a tank stand on some semi-soft carpeting? :) the tank is basically a 37 gallon cube 24 inches wide by roughly 20 inches deep.. the stand is about 30-36 inches high...

I'm upgrading from a 20 gallon to a 40 and was wondering about the best way to go about moving livestock. My 20 gallon has been setup for 4 months with livestock and 45 pounds of LR and a 4 inch sand bed. Should I setup the new tank and cycle it first, or can I just mix an extra 20+ gallons of...

awesome! thanks guys! :D

frags, cuttings etc... I've been to coraldynamics.com and ordered from there and had success.. I like the size of the frags there but the color selection on some are kind of bland. My first post!
