Well the light didn't work. But I think maybe my 2 wrasse are starting to do there job. I'll let ya all know !! Once again, Thanks for all the input.

I buy my water from Krogers. Refills only cost ya .39 cents a gallon. Tests out at 0. Have been using it for a couple of years. Then I just bring it home & mix it. Just my 2 cents worth.

I'm sorry, but if this does work, I'll let ya all know! Thanks

Well I am going to figure out a way to get a light in one of the corners & give this a try, I'm sure that I won't get them all, but if it works, maybe a couple of times & I will have them all. But if not, looks like I am going to use the "Flatworm" exit. Thanks again everyone.

I wanted to say "Thanks" to everyone who replied to my post. But here is another question about these great little pests that we get. My LFS told me, that if I put a light in only one area of the tank, the flat worms will go to it. That would make siphoning them out a whole lot easier? Anybody...

I have a 125 gallon reef tank, have found "Red Flat Worms" on my corals. I have bought a couple of wrasse, but they are not doing the job. They have been in the tank for a little over a week. But it seems that you buy a fish to do a job, but once you feed the tank, they know they are going to...

Originally Posted by srfisher17 I think it might just be co-incidence. Fish die and we often don't know the reason. The chromis were explained well above; so losing 3 fish over time really can't be considered that unusal. I sure can't point to anything and your other fish are doing well. BTW...

What is a "Grow out tank" ?? Originally Posted by cherylann A closed system only has so much surface area and rocks are only so porus, you can not have indefinte amount of aerobic bacteria. I see your point, but I do believe that grow out tanks are a good example in this case. This hobbiest...

Thanks for all the input to all. I am not sure of what " aerobic bacteria " is? I do have about 100#'s of live rock, as I told ya, I am running 2 Vortec's, so there is more than enough flow. I am sure that I don't have any disease, as I use a 36 watt UV, now I know that doesn't give me a...

I agree, you must have a very good skimmer, I use a SWC High end skimmer. As for water flow, I have 2 Vortec power heads, they are the MP40's. They move alot of water. I am getting black skim mate from my skimmer, that is what it is supposed to look like using vodka. And only dosing 2.5 ml twice...

My shifer is a diamond spot gobie, not a star. ( Same Fish ) No, they did not die over nite, a few lasted a week or longer. The thing that I don't understand is, I have 2 angels that have been in my tank for several months, and are doing fine. Plus several other fish. The diamond gobie was just...

I have read your posts, I am sorry, but I have to disagree. I have never had more than 3 angels at a time & they all got along just fine. As for the number of fish, they are all only about 1 or 2 inches long, so that is not to many fish in a 125 gallon. My yellow tang is the biggest fish I have...

I have a 125 gallon tank, 30 gallon sump that has been up & running for over 2 yrs. I am slowly losing fish? My tank parameters are No3=0 No2=0 Po= 0.03 Alk= 11.2 Cal= 450 Mag=1380 Amem=0 I use Salifert test kits for the above & have pin point monitors for the lower two. Ph=8.1 to 8.3 Temp=79 to...
