Thanks everyone for your input, I really appreciate it! From what I gather when they test the well water prior to buying the house, I should get a copy of the results. And no to the question as to whether it is a community well. The well is only for that particular house. Will try to ask...

I gather from what you are saying that it may be impossible to continue my saltwater tanks unless I cart distilled water in for them? Would an RO/DI unit be sufficient to remove iron and the phosphates or is that asking the impossible of a reliable unit or are there any other water purification...

I'm currently on a public water system, but using an RO/DI unit for processing the water for my various tanks, but that will change shortly. We're in the process of buying a home that exists on well water. What things do I need to have checked as far as the water quality and is it possible to...

They appear to be a company that promotes caring and having the knowledge, but whether it be fish, birds, dogs, cats or anything else, their knowledge is sorely lacking. Last time I went in there I was looking to see what they carried in protein skimmers and filters. Yep, they had filters, but...

I'm still working on trying to get not only a picture of the darn thing, but get it out of my tank. I took and flipped the rock it's hiding in upside down hoping to catch a better view of it and hopefully snag it with a net and all I saw was one hairy leg rapidly going in the hole on the...

By any chance is this creature kind of whitish and fuzzy? The reason I ask is I have something in my tank that looks like a tarantula, hides in the rocks very adeptly and I've only been able to catch glimpses of it cause it's also very quick to shoot under a rock or in a hole. Haven't been...

Thanks for the picture. Yep that's what I have residing in my tank. Now another question. I am in the process literally of putting my new RO unit to work. By using RO water for topping off the tank and doing water changes, will that also help decrease the algae growth? Hope so, cause after...

:help: Has anyone had bubble algae pop up in their tanks and if so how do you get rid of it? Is the regiment to get rid of it the same as getting rid of hair algae? I read somewhere that bubble algae can be prolific cause it spreads by spores, is this true? I could really use some guidance on...

Now that I've read the hitchhiker's Id thread, there's really no question that I have bubble algae in my 24 gallon Nano tank. There were just a few at first, but it appears I am getting a few more as time goes by. You mentioned that it needed to be removed carefully in order not to dispurse the...
