    RO guestion

    I have noticed recently that the water level in the last filter on my typhoon has risen a lot over the past few weeks.

    Spaghetti Worm ?

    Do spaghetti worms live in rockwork? Last night while I was feeding some pellet food, a piece landed on a rock. I saw these hair like things trying to pick up the pellet. They are as fine as a hair and brownish in color and about 3/4 in long.

    Let the battle begin!

    For the past few weeks, all I hear is "click-click-click" in my tank. It's a mantis, so I tried the bottle trap, caught a conch, a pep shrimp and watched my brittle reach around with one leg and pull out the bait. My CC star tried to pull it apart to get the food out. So it looks like today, I...

    Wet/Dry and skimmer ?

    I can't for the life of me find a diagram of this. I have a Aqua clear wet/dry and in sump skimmer of the same brand. I can't figure out how they connect together. Or do I just let the skimmer suck from the sump and discharge back into the sump to return back to the tank?:help:

    Q Tip Sponges

    I've never had a Q Tip sponge in my tank----until now! I was cleaning around my tank, when I pulled apart a hob filter that I use for water movement, I found about 100 of the things inside! I guess they don't need a lot of light, because very little gets in there. I guess this discovery means...

    I don't have a clue how he did it, but I just found my diamondback goby on the couch 6 feet from my tank,dead. I don't have a clue how he got there because I have a tight cover on my tank and it is closed except when feeding. The funny thing is my pistol shrimp is hauling his home (curlique...
