So I picked up a new piece of live rock that has a few creatures on it.....so far I have found a starfish, some small white bugs, a clam and an oyster...i think. I also found this really hairy worm...please tell me what it is and if I should remove it.

Mr. Limpid, Can you explain what you mean by adding macro in a chamber of the wet/dry??How did you do this?

Snake, you mention in another post to not use bioballs..why not? What should I use instead? And how can I find macroalgae??

Hi Guys, So I came across this video on youtube and wanted to know what you all think This guy is responding to another guy about wet/dry filters and how they probably aren't the best form of filtration. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=NFPihVj0cCg I also found another type...
