Hi Guys,
My name is Mike Ryan, I am sort of new to the hobby, I am new to this site. I have been reading and learning here the past couple of months. Thank you very much for all the info and awesome pictures you all share of your aquariums. You guys are awesome, thank you for letting me be a part of it.
I had my 92 corner up and running for a couple of years with not many problems. It was a fish only tank, I kept 5 fish in it. I new they were going to get big, so I made sure they would have room and after some time, they needed it. I decided to get out of the hobby for a little wile when my lion fish died. It was strange, maybe old age or something. He was eating fine the day before, nothing out of the ordinary, My levels were all good. I woke up, checked on the tank and there he was (very sad day) He was the first and last fish I lost. I then decided it was time to hang it up for a wile. My daughters didnt understand or know about death, now I think it will be easier to explain if something should happen.
I decided, I am going for it again. In my old tank, I only had dead coral as rock, nothing live. I cleaned everything (tank, pump, power heads, sump and bleached all the old skeleton coral). I now just purchased some live rock to add to it hoping it will help cycle. The thing is, I noticed there are some little white worm looking things with a flower type head that come in and out. Is this something good or bad? I never had any coral or anything like that. I am now reading and looking into possibly doing a reef tank in the near future. This a picture of my tank and of the little worm type thing.
Thank you again all for everything
This is my tank now (cycling)
This is the worm type thing?
