    Nasty Hitchhiker?

    I would not doubt if your bristleworm ate your chromis. I know for sure that I have a 3 inch bristleworm and it has eaten one a my green chromis too. I have tried to capture it but its an illusive creature. You might be able to set a trap but they never worked for me...I just make sure...

    To skim or not to skim?

    You would be suprised how much crap a skimmer will remove...I have a simple Bak Pak and it will fill half the waste container in a matter of a week with dark green stuff...its well worth it and it makes your job a lot easier too I think...I want to upgrade my Bak Pak to a remora pro.

    Hang on Skimmer

    I agree with the remora pro...its the best hang on...I have a backbak and its ok, but if I had my choice to do it all over again I would get a remora its much more effective. see this site http://www.thereefweb.com/protein_sk...comparison.htm

    OT- What to do if board member appears to be ripping you off? Before seeing lawyer.

    No need to higher a lawyer...depending in what state you live in and how much money you are asking for small claims court may be a good idea...you will probably get a default judgement anyway...the clerk at the court will more than likely help you...go to your district court and file a complaint...
