    Bristleworms

    Hi, These guys are great scavengers, I recently posted a thread on these myself as I had some fish go under strange circumstances? I have two very large ones crawling around within the LR and are over a foot in length, I tend to gently move things before commiting fingers as they are intimidating!

    Algae Question - with photo's

    Hi, It does not look like hair algae (Cant really tell from photos) so I would not be concerned at this stage this is where a tang would earn its keep, certain varieties of algae are considered advantageous within the hobby but is a personal thing, I think personally that they add colour and...

    Reef temp. Cooler ok?

    Hi, I run three heaters on my tank as it sited what we call in the uk an outhouse where there is no heating what so ever, at night in winter the temp can fall as much as 4 degrees but my thoughts are the sea temp would drop at night albeit slightly anyway. I would have loved to keep the tank...

    Help on placement of live rock

    Hi, The placing of lr is a personal choice I would go for originality and cave structures but as was mentioned keep it away from the glass so cleaning is easier and more importantly in my opinion ensure water can flow round almost all of it. Think of the rock security as rock falls are fine in...

    nano tank crashed everything dead

    Hi, Sorry to read about the crash but that is the problem with small volumes of water when something goes wrong it devistating as opposed to larger volumes which can take some time to give up water chemistry issues, I personally believe nano takes to be a massive challenge for the reasons...

    Brissell worms friend or fo

    Hi, What started of as a couple in the lr has multiplied to many, I know they are good scavengers but do the fish have much to worry about? I have read that they are undesirable tank mates.

    does moonlight induce spawning?

    nothing can replicate mother nature cycles maybe you should look at it another way do corals spawn without moonlight?

    Found where missing fish have gone.
