I have a 45 gal with approx 30lbs lr/ a couple of clowns / and a bubbletip anemone of somekind (it is a pink/peach color and moves around), lots of baby snails and a couple of big ones, and some hermit crabs. I was given the tank as is and I've had them for about 18 months and they all seem to be doing well. The tank was given w/o substrate on the bottom, so I put in the 4-5 inches of sand for the dsb, no lv, straight playsand (home depot).
There are many worms now in the sand that range around an inch or two. they are clear/whitish on the ends with a dark portion toward the center. They appear to be segmented and I cant tell head from end. I don't know if they are bristleworms because they are so small I can't see the head. They hide from light and often leave a pile of "dust" at the top of their holes. What are they?
The coraline algea grows well / as do all the little brittlestars. Maybe 60-75 little stars.
I would like to upgrade my lighting. I have 3 flourescent bulbs:
1. 24 inch 10K 40w
2. 24 inch 6500 trichromatic full spectrum 40w
3. 18 inch marine-glo blue
What should I get? All I want to do is maybe bring in a small fish, ie., sixline or something, and a couple easy pieces of coral. Nothing major yet. I have all the time in the world and a very, very established tank.
recap:
1. what are the worms? I think most will say bristle, but I have not seen a picture that could match them no have I seen them out of the sand.
2. what kind of lights? My bulbs are old and my anemone moves around alot more now that it used to. The old bulbs have lost their spectrum.
thanks in advance,
Jason
