Your reply really helped. I looked at the pictures in the thread attached and identified them as Spirorbid worms. I'll do my research on them and find out more about them. Thank you so much.

I did a diatoms scrap off my tanks wall and topped of the water early Tuesday morning. Well yesterday I clearly noticed these small white hard spots sporatically placed on the walls. When I looked a LOT closer, each one of them has a small brownish circular thing in them. Looks like the...

Well, my Royal Gramma died on Sat. he didn't have ick like I thought. I don't really know what was wrong with him. At one point I could have sworn he looked like he was choking and spitting out sand. Very bizarre.. I did all my water checks, they all were fine. I just bought him Tues. so I'm...

Oh ok thanks Lex! I'll post some pics tonight when I get home. Thanks a mil. Oh yeah...what about that deep dark purple fuzzy algae on the big lr?? You can take a shot but I know I have to post pics to get a better insight..

Thank you so much for all the advice. No I didn't cycle it. My rock was precured, the lfs told me it have cycled (ammonia spike) in a day or so, and I could have missed it. Actually I just kept doing tests after I put the ls and rr in and all the numbers remained low. I test like every other day...

Ok, kinda long but descriptive. I've been slowly adding things to my new setup (29 gallon) over the past 3 weeks. I started off adding cc and left it alone. Early last week I added ls and a few pieces of rr to it. Sat. I added one 10 lb piece of FL cultured lr with pretty purple and pink algae...

Oooooh, ok cool. Thanks guys you all are awesome teachers. I love this forum.

I just added my ls and rubble lr pieces to my 29 gal tank. I bought the Koralia Nano Powherhead also. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a device where you submerse the whole thing (including the power cord) in the water. Is this correct? I know it's a major dumb question and it...

Yes both answers have helped me trememdously, thank you. I'm gonna go and buy the live sand. When I go to remove the dolomite, should I take the water out first and save it to avoid less mess and cloudiness, or should I just start all over.

Does anyone have ANY suggetions?????????? Please help

I just set up my 29 gallon sw tank. I bought Ultra Reef Dolomite substrate at the time cause I couldn't get the live sand I wanted. I'm adding about 5-10 lbs of live sand later. My question is will the tank cycle with just the dolomite? The water has started turning a little cloudy. Is it...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark You still should of rinsed the sand off. But nothing is wrong, give it time it will clear up. Check your filter sponge frequently and rinse it. This will help rid your tank of the particulates gathered in it. Your right. I will, thanks a mil for the advice!

Originally Posted by spanko When you add the additional sand, get a piece of PVC pipe that will reach to the bottom of the tank. Put a funnel on the top of it and pour the new sand slowly into the funnel. You will be able to move the end of the pipe to the location where you want the sand to...

I need help! Saturday, I bought 25 lb bag of ultra reef (substrate), 25 gallon box of Instant Ocean for my new set up in my 20 gallon tank. I think I may have incorrectly mixed way too much salt into the water, so I took out about half and then added fresh water. I started the pump and the...
