    Is this thing good or bad?

    My tank is fairly new and I saw this tiny clear worm poking out of the rock last night feeling around. There was a white thing going up and down inside. Is it a good worm or should I get it out of there

    Opinions on small tank...

    Ok, so I almost purchased the 180 gallon tank last night but then realized that since I live on the second floor of an apartment 2,000+ pounds would not be a good idea. But I can't get having a fish tank out of my mind. So, I want to get a small 24-30 gallon tank. I would like to buy...
