    Yellow Spots on Glass with Legs

    No, they're not spiral, just homogeniously light yellow-white circular planar 1-2mm specs with radially arranged cillia without distal thickenings/pads. Kinda like a smiley with hair and beard.

    Yellow Spots on Glass with Legs

    I just did a little www research and found this quote on Practical Reefkeeping "Planula A biological term used to describe a larval stage of coelenterate organisms, such as corals. Related glossary entries: Larval;" I'll try to get a pic today but it does look just like the pic posted...

    Yellow Spots on Glass with Legs

    thanks for the quick reply. Encouraging words appreciated. Can you tell me if a copepod bloom or these little yellow things are a sign of good water chemistry? I'd like to think that my tank might be one of thoses places where "seldom is heard a discouraging word..."

    Yellow Spots on Glass with Legs

    My nano cube is in week #4 with plenty of live rock, live sand, a planted LTA, 4x hermits, an emerald crab and a barred moray eel who seems very happy. We've been through a diatomaceous algae bloom which passed uneventfully. We are currently experiencing a copepod invasion and I see a couple of...

    Roaming or Rolling LTA

    The tank is 3x weeks old and went through a diatom algae bloom which is now over. It was a brand new 14 gal nano cube...new lights. I placed a Clarkii in there 2 days ago and it took right to the LTA. Really cute. I placed the LTA in a relatively calm area of the aragonite bed and there it...

    Roaming or Rolling LTA

    LTA settled down I fed the LTA yesterday with some defrosted MITIS shrimp and once again it seemed to have a good appetite. The tank experienced a diatomaceous algae bloom shortly thereafter and it's being delt with with a reduction in actinic light timing. This, I understand has to be dealt...

    Algae...friend...foe...or necessary evil

    diatomaceous algae I was given a Nano Cube as a gift and set it up with LS and cured LR. The tank was up and running for about 1 1/2 weeks but I was told by the LFS that it's OK to stock these tanks as early as initial setup. Ph was 8.5, NH4 and nitrate and nitrate were 0 so i stocked it with a...

    Roaming or Rolling LTA

    Thanks for the post. I am keeping the temp at the 72 deg point because that's the ambient temp of the room which keeps the tank at that temp with minor fluctuations. I do have a 50W heater which I have not installed yet because, as I always found that, I had a healthier tank (freshwater...

    Roaming or Rolling LTA

    I know, I know "just let it find its place" but this is getting very frustrating. I purchased a macro doreensis from a LFS with a super reputation and seemingly pristine tanks. It has been in my nano 14gal reef tank for 1 week and fails to attach. This morning I found it wedged behind a rock and...
