is it bad? will it choke out things that are around it?

I keeps growing! And when you poke it is recoils a bit. also seems to release a dust of some kind.. Any suggestions?

Yup they are rusty but I dont Keep them in the tank so they dont bother things. they rust cuz the salt water.. cant stop it

Yay! Im getting better at this! Awesome thank you!!!

Woops ofcourse the pics didnt load like I thought they would! The 1st is the worm and the 2nd is the feather duster looking thing.. and heres one more pic for it.

Both of these hitchhikers are on the same rock! Along with some apashia. The rock is very easy to remove from the tank if these things need to be taken out.. The 1st is the zig-zag looking think under the mushroom. I think it may be a feather duster? It hides when something comes near it... The...

blowtorch?? You guys arent playing around! Well it doesnt sting me cuz I put my hand on it So I can try covering with some apoxy? Thing Im gonna give that a shot today..

Yeah... the small pice is out of the tank but it started going up the other piece which is one of our largest pieces.. If I get it out how do i get rid of it?

sorry for the delay in my response, Veterans Day around our house is a bit busy now days

Im going with mine. With TWO different test kits I get the same readings then somehow they get different ones...

Can someone please ID this for me? It came on the small piece of rock with a shroom I bought. Im guessing that it choked out the shroom cuz one day I found the shroom floating around the tank... now that the shroom is gone it has spread pretty quickly. Do I need to get rid of it? if so HOW???

I went to my LFS today and had the water tested in the 29 gal just for comparison, they had trates/trites at 0. ph 7.9 and alkalinity at 11.

Okay I got my Seachem test kit in and tested the water today. 55 gal is Ph 8.4/trates 20/trites <.01/ alkalinity 2/amonia 0. 29 gal Ph 8.1/trates 5/ trites .01/alkalinity 2/amonia 0. got a calcium tester but didnt test. Havent had the time to look at RoDi units yet.....

A price limit, now that I can handle! Once I narrow it down I will be back to ask the experts! Thanks everybody for all your help! Ohh and I checked my water today and everything is GREAT! alkalinity in BOTH tanks is 12, calcium is 460, Ph in 55 is 8.2, Ph in 29 is 8.2 and everything else was 0.

So go for 3 stage... I mean I really am not in the mood for dropping 500 on something but I need something that is going to do the job I still have two more filters that go with the tap water filter I have so Ive got a bit of time to find the right one. When I find one. I'll be back
