Any one keeping this sp. I believe they are A. carduus.

That's a nudibranch, look at the eye stalks

The nutrients have to be in the rock, sense the algae is growing on the rock then, the only logical explanation is that the nutrients are in the rock and the algaes are consuming them before they reach the water column

Usually the sides, does your aquarium with stability. It will boost bacteria growth and help start an efficient nitrogen cycle within your aquarium. What size aquarium do you have, an what is your filtration?

Hydros are good pumps I use them at work and I have a hydro power head on my 29 HQI currently.

Get a small file fish, they can clear a tank of aptasia

The mind has a tendency to jump to conclusions and fill in details. Eye witnesses are completely Fallible.

Well said mr. X. In my honest opinion there are a lot of organisms that get a very bad rap (bristles, emerald crabs, hermits, etc) for doing exactly what they do and nature, and fulfilling their purpose in the aquarium, to eat detritus. These animals have evolved to sense and consume decaying...

My point is that you should identify them before killing them. My ability was suppose to highlight the flaw within the previous statement. Yes their may be some other CUC that are more effective individually at cleaning specific things, but how many of the can get into the center of a rock?

Based on that logic Some species fish eat coral, there for when your coral is dying you should kill every fish in your aquarium, Large enough to eat coral.

You are basically killing one of the main consumers of detritus within your aquarium, based on a pure hunch, that is not based on any scientific observation or ecological theory. I very strongly advise against this.

And we have life

What are your water parameters?

Predators*, I hate auto correct.

If your dead set on getting rid of them. An arrow crab is your best option, polychaete worms are their natural food source in the wild.however I highly doubt these species of bristle worms is your problem. They are not biologically capable of preforming these events, nor is it the ecological...

It's defiantly a polychaete, however I have to agree with mr. X identification would be hard without seeing the specimen. However some polychaete worms are predatory, bobbits for example are not only predators but very very efficient ones

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with it, I had the live rock formations, and my bio filtration in a cycle tank for 5 months now, so it should be good in just a couple days. However full water test will be done. Trying to decide what corals to get first any ideas?

Live rock and macro algae!

I'm actually looking at getting a media reactor to go within in the stand, most likely an FMC-415. To run seagel And then might create a biological reactor system. Tank is getting filled today so we will see how it all goes,

Adding the live rock this weekend and filling so I can start cycling.

Thanks will do, did you every have any problems with parameters?

Just purchased a new biocube HQI, very happy with the way the tank is designed however defiantly would like to make some upgrades. I will post some pictures as the tank comes along, and would really appreciate any I put on stocking, upgrades, problems with bio cubes that you haven't resolved...

What makes you say that? I'm just curious. Aquariums are ecosystems we are privileged to own, and should be treated with the full level of care we can supply

Anaerobic bacteria can survive in sealed containers, however for efficient cycling you need both. The majority Aerobic bacterias will convert ammonia into nitrite, and then Into nitrate. Where as anaerobic will convert nitrate into nitrogen gas so that it may be released Into the system. That's...

The 150 is a Good skimmers, prefer MRC skimmers my self however still good skimmers Aquariums are ecosystems we are privileged to own, and should be treated with the full level of care we can supply
