thank you

don't know much about skimmers....but I guess I need to learn. Perhaps that would help too.

Originally Posted by ophiura That looks like detritus to me - basically waste. Possibly several things - lack of circulation, clean up crew, overfeeding, etc. It is unlikely, IMO, your rocks are being "eaten." In fact, an increase in bristleworms would be correlated with increase in...

your tank looks great . thanks ffor sharing! Also, thanks for all your input on mine. I know I have lots to learn!

Originally Posted by peef Do you test for nitrates, ammonia, or nitrites? I am just curious what they are if you have been feeding up to two times a day. Don't worry though your tank will be fine! Everything that Alix and Mie have said to you is correct as far as I know and good advice. Your...

Originally Posted by alix2.0 oh, i missed the other one. well i dont know much about them but if you keep different species of anemone in the same tank they will release chemicals "chemical warfare" into the water until one of them dies. also most anemones need really strong lighting like strong...

My lighting is a Current "satellite" system. 2x65w Dual Daylight and 2x65w Dual Actinic Been trying to figure out what kind of filtration I need. I know I need to upgrade. Any suggestions?

flower and a purple tip anemones are both in the tank on opposite sides...someone said they thought my flower anemone was a carpet anemone but it isn't; it's just not standing upright now.

not planning on adding much more to the tank. I think I'm at my cap. However, I don't want things to destroy what I have and that seems to be what the worms are doing right now. I've been feeding WAY TOO MUCH! like at least once if not twice daily. I'm starting to cut back but I guess I'll...

Originally Posted by alix2.0 please stop listening to your lfs! So what do I do then? The LFS just aren't helping me much on this. I guess that's the price you pay for being in a small town

Originally Posted by triggerfre Yep bristle worm problem.Get a sixline wrasse.They will eat them. Will a sixline wrasse bother anything else in the tank other than the bristle worms? What about other fish? I have a purple-spotted lobster, a couple of serpent starfish, 3 clown fish, a blue...

One of our LFS does not over a % discount on anything unless it's something special ordered for someone else and it didn't work for the person it was ordered for. However, they will usually come down on the posted price of items simply because we spend so much time, money & energy there AND...

There seems to be lots of them. I am feeding way to much as it turns out. So, I will cut back on that. However, how do I control these worms so my rock doesn't suffer any more? Thanks for the pic info Wango-tango

I have a 29 gal reef tank that's been set up for a year. Within the last week I have noticed that some of my LR seems to be crumbling. Yesterday I noticed worm-like creatures coming out of the rocks that are having problems. After looking around on here. I think bristle worms are the...
