OK thanks, just wanted to make sure. This one is not like any of the others I have seen

ljn0221, The tank is an Eclipse 12gal. I like it alot, I just wish I went with a glass tank. Im having a tough time finding Acrylic friendly cleaning sponges/scrapers. I love how the filter and lighting is all in the hood, and its really quiet. The tank has only been up for a week and a half...

One more, I know people dont like this stuff, but I still think its cool that I have stuff growing in there.....All 5 bubbles showed up within 2 days, this thing is growing fast!!!

I have what appears to be a peanut worm. Sorry the pic is so blurry, this guy only comes out when its dark, I had to turn the lights on and snap a pic before he retracted into the rock. You can’t see it in this pic, butt there looks to be a mouth at the right end of this thing. As the worm...

Hello all, just tonight I noticed what seems to be a bristle worm in my tank. I know that bristle worms are part of a good clean up crew, but I also know that there is a particular type of bristle worm that is not good…Which one do I have I know exactly what piece of LR this guy is hiding...

Two more hitchhickers Bristle Worm, I hope... :eek: Peanut Worm, what shlould I name him??? :notsure:

aggies50, I understand all that you said except for the Nitrate part. I tought thast the only way to get rid of NO3 was to either have a fuge(or some other type of plant life) or do water changes. What in your tank will remove Nitrate naturally???? :notsure: :notsure:

Benter Have you made any other mods??

Bump

Whats the DX stand for? Thanks

Im trying to understand the process of a cycle. You guys mention that he should wait till his nitrates drop to 0??? I thought that the only way to get rid of nitrates is to do a water change?? And I didnt think you were saposed to do a change during cycle?? Please explain......

do the cars release powerful txin when they die or are stressed as well Only if you don’t change the oil on a regular basis, those Mercedes cant tolerate high nitrates in their oil!!!

no on the skimmer, why? I’m guessing the cyclone of foam would help aerate the water??

Thanks for your replies ophiura, I was thinking too that it might be poor circulation... I figured that I have 600 GPH between my filter and PH ( 330 & 270 respectively). This would give be about 13x flow for my 46gal FOWLR. (But I really shouldnt say FOWLR cause I just bought a small frag of...

Thanks Bang Guy, Ill wait it out. I’m not trying to rush the cycle, I know it takes time. I'm just anxious to get that damsel out of my main tank!! I’m sure my yellow tang will be more than happy to see him leave :joy: Hay Terry :happyfish

Your right, I figured that 10 lb would be enough, but it doesnt look like much sitting in the tank..... :rolleyes:

The purpose of this tank is to house Damsels, since many people use damsels to cycle a tank, do you think I could go ahead and put the first damsel in there?? Or should I keep feeding the cycle and keep looking for the ammonia/nitrite spikes?

Here are some more pics of some if the hitchhickers I found...

Some of the Cardinals like the Orbicular or the Pajama like to be in groups. I don’t have one myself, but my LFS has a tank full and they always seem to “hover” in formation. Kind of reminds me of a squadron of jet fighters, Its pretty cool! :happyfish

Currently my calcium is around 320. Its FOWLR (except one small piece of Xenia) I can’t seem to get my pH to stay at 8.3. Its 8.0 right now. . I’m using RO water with Instant Ocean salt mix If its not calcium, what else can I do to raise pH? I have tryed 8.3 pH Buffer bySeaChem, and it works...
