    Little White Spots

    I have these little white specs on the back glass, they look like a tiny swirls. I'm pretty sure they aren't snails, I have some babies and that's not what these look like. Any ideas? I can't get a picture, it would just look like hundreds of tiny specs.

    Weird things growing in my sump

    So I was looking in the sump with a flashlight this morning and noticed these weird whitish things all over. Some are pretty small, but some are about 1/2 long. They are kinda hanging from the sides and the bottom of the sump. I scooped out a couple to get a closer look and they are kinda...

    U-Tube Question

    I have a hang on overflow box with 2 u-tubes, one keeps getting an air bubble then eventually just looses the siphon... any ideas why? Could it be that the return isn't pumping fast enough so there is only water enough for the one side??

    Just Shoot Me!

    I swear I have had nothing but trouble with this dang tank When I first got the hang on overflow I plumbed it with PVC because it didn't come with the hoses, but it was quite an eyesore since the tank is too close to the wall it has to hang on the side so I ordered the flex hoses. The first...

    sump/overflow question

    So I bought a wet/dry filter, overflow box and pump for my 155 gallon tank. I chose them based on the fact that they were from the same maker and they are both rated for about 200 gallons. The stuff gets here and the overflow box has 2 bulkheads and the filter has one. I didn't notice when I...

    Cucumber died, not sure what happened

    So could/would an urchin kill a sand sifting cucumber? It's the only thing I can think of that could have happened. I saw the urchin next to the cucumber and it looked like it was picking stuff off it, then later in the day there was goo hanging out of the cucumber, now on closer inspection it...

    Anemone stings
