He is actually keeping the front of my sandbed between the glass clean. He has slowly worked his way all the way to the other side of the tank. I just dont want to lose sight of him and have problems. I can probably easily remove him with tweezers. I guess now would be the time before he disappears.

Ok this is a pic of a worm that has been in my tank for a few months. He stays under the sandbed. Ive never seen him out in the open. This pic is not of my worm but of someone elses. It pretty much looks exactly like what i have. Should i remove it or leave it? Not sure if it had something to do...

I was going to drill mine until i saw the sticker on the bottom of the glass that said. DO NOT DRILL. Tempered glass. Make sure yours can be drilled before doing it. Call the manufacturer or whatever.

Ive used Kent Reef Carbon. Worked great. The black diamond is just as good. I only run carbon for 1 week every month just to polish up the water a bit. I never run it 24/7.

I would say that tank is at least $100,000.

Ive been trying to figure out whats wrong with these things for about a month now....Someone please help.. I had it higher up when it started to not fully open. So i figured maybe it was the light, so i moved it down. Looks like its getting worse. First pics is 5 months ago. Second is now.

Mine is 420. IMO over 500 is kinda high. Id keep it between 400-450.

Are those glow in the dark ornaments safe for saltwater? IMO i would take them out.

I believe the coral catfish are venomous and require a minimum of 70 gallons.

Damsels are probably the problem. Very territorial. Also, if i read correctly, you have 11 fish in a 44 gallon. Dude thats a bit overstocked. Are your levels holding steady?
