    Getting rid of flat worms....

    I'll have to keep my eye out for a wrasse. I was just joking around when I said to pass him to the next person. Out of curiosity, the term flat worm is pretty vague when it comes to talking about a specific type. Did you have the little red planaria or the slightly larger flatworms that cover...

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    You must have one of those rare Melanurus Wrasses that only eat flat worms, quick before it dies of starvation pass it along to the next person! I swear it is in the best interest of the fish! For the great good right....!!! ;) From what I can tell so far I only have little red planaria which...

    Jesse_Emel's Oceanic Biocube 29 Gallon

    Flat worms..... oh man aren't they a pain! I had to do a 10 gallon water change with air line tubing sucking out as many of those little bastards as I could.

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    My tank is a meer 40 gallons =(, probably too small for said wrasse. I might try dipping a few of the rocks to see what comes off them, I have yet to see any flat worms of any kind on the rocks.

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    I don't really see them on my rock they are mainly all on the glass. I'll do a 10-20 gallon change via air line tubing getting as many worms as I possibly can. I might try dipping corals again in a few months to see if any of the flat worms on the corals came back.....

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    Kraken, A friend happen to have the same product and he let me use it, it kills the pesky flat worms almost immediately. Preparing enough gallons with this stuff seems like it would cost a fortune if you have a lot of rock to dip. Maybe mixing up a few cups and bathing the rocks in the solution...

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    The Flatworm Control is a no go. I took out as many worms as I could into a little 16oz container and dosed it with four drops which is suppose to be enough for 10 gallons. About 2 hours later nothing is dead =( I will probably go shopping for some new flat worm "stuff," if not it looks like I...

    Thoughts on Reef Breeders Photon 48 LED?

    Barrier reef and Red C both sell them. Lots of people use them with good results. The only difference between the ones reefbreeders sells and barrier reef is that the led ratios and colors are a little bit different. I'v seen the same photon series down at barrier reef and the value leds are Red...

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    Thanks for the tips. I'll have to clean up the hob and get some carbon for it. I might as well start getting ro/di water as well. TheKraken: let me know what you end up doing I would appreciate the help.

    Getting rid of flat worms....

    I am going to order Flatworm Exit to get rid of the flat worms that entered my tank. I am just curious if I should dip all the coral (in flatworm exit)before hand to try and kill as many before I dose the tank. I noticed two different mushrooms where covered pretty badly a few days ago alongside...

    3D printing your aquarium parts

    A friend of mine has a 3-D printer and it sure is nice to rapid prototype things for aquariums. You can get some pretty amazing accuracy with even the simpliest "diy" 3-D printers.

    New livestock arrivals

    Even though I think I died a little when I heard the 2nd true perc took a leap of death it was nice to see the store and all the neat stuff you guys had. At least I came out with two clowns and the chance to meet you. Check this store out! But beware of ominous jumping fish.

    Ro/di units around seattle

    I am just wondering what people locally use to filter water for their aquariums. It is about that time in the build were I have to get a ro/di and start cranking out water. Just curious as to what people use and how often they have to change their filters to maintain 0-2tds around seattle. Hip...

    my biocube

    Hey cameron, looks like I ran into your thread! You think the tang police can't get to you? I'd watch your back next time you go to petsmart! Joking aside, tank is looking good.
