very small , ok you know the antena (sorry about spelling) on the snails like that or maybe a little smaller. 1mm. I don't know what else to compare it to. I am only seeing them on the sand bed. They move very quickly too. i just hope it is nothing that is going to affect my tank in a negative way.

I Am Thinking It Kind Of Looks Like A Amphipod, But I Am Not Sure They Are So Small I Can't Even Make Them Out. We Do Have A Feather Duster And Feed Phytoplankton Which On This Thread It Says That Helps To Reproduce Them. I Am Stunned My This I Have Never Looked This Close At My Tank At Night.

Thanks for your input, anyone else?

Anyway, I checked the chemical levels today and this is what I got ammonia is 0, Nitrate was 80, Nitrite was 5.0 . Do I need...

We recently set up our sump and skimmer, was wondering do you need to replace any necessary nutrients/elements that your skimmer may take out? Also want to get a RO thing but also have heard some things about the tap water purifier, what so you all think? I was reading/looking at the purifier...

We bought the same exact skimmer about 2 weeks ago and had the same problem. Give it time to break in the bubbles will go away. It is working very well for us so far. Hang in there.

Well mine came wrapped in newspaper so I guess I have a ways to go before I can put it in my tank. If I would have known I think I would have just bought it locally even if I would have paid a little more. Oh well you have to learn somehow. So hey how often do you do water changes and how much...

I have read so many different listed threads on this but am still a little confused. Here is the run down, I ordered some cured rock from Florida and I live in California, it took 5 days to get here. We had the rubbermaid container all set up with the salt water and 2 powerheads, as soon as it...

We just set up our sump and my overflow box is very loud. We have a U tube that siphons the water from the inner box to the outer box. In the outer box the U tube is in its own little box and the water runs over the side to the other half and down to the sump. The problem I have is that the...

We just setup our sump with skimmer. Our skimmer came with a bubble-production diffuser, 1st of all what does this do? 2nd is it nessesary to have it? It seems that it is producing alot of little bubbles from there and the return pump is returning them to the main tank. Any tips????
