    Acro eating flatworms

    there is a great artile in this month's issue of coral magazine about flat worms and how to get them out of your tank. one way is to put a plate flush with the sand in your tank, turn off the lights, and hold a flashlight over the plate. the flatworms are atracted to the light so evetually most...

    My Nano Reef Idea.

    hey, i was just wondering what size this mantis is. a 6g might be a little small. they grow fast and can eat a lot. as you know the more food you put into an aquarium the more waste you put in as well. this means more water changes, more hands in the tank, more chance of geting your thumb cut...

    White Sand Gone Brown

    there are a few ways to help get rid of the diatoms while they are still in your tank. nasserious (sp?) snails burry themselves under the substrate and will make a big difference. you can also get sand sifting stars or sifting cucumbers. sand sifting fish such as orange spot gobies or dragon...

    Copepods

    i don't want any,we don't have our tank up yet. i think that a mandarin will eventually eat all of the copepods in an aquarium, they will just eat them faster then they can reproduce. that's why you have to keep them in the fuge. it would be a good idea to add them every so often though.

    questions about 35g hex

    i am seting it on a large wood desk. the sump/fuge is going to be out of the way in a near-by closet. the tank is glass. i know there is going to be limited swiming room for fish so maybe just one mandarin and something else small. what i really need help with is seting up the refugium. i have...

    Should I start over????

    i had cyano in my tank too and used a chemical to get rid of it. it was safe for inverts and corals. it didn't harm anything (not even the live rock, purpletip, leathers, mushrooms, coraline or anything) and got rid of the cyano. it's called chemi-clean. i am sure that you can find it in your...

    What on earth??!?!?!?!?

    six lines have been known to eat flat worms so maybe there is some sort of very small parasite that it is geting off of these frags?? a lot of fish will pick at corals but will not cause long term damage. all of my books list the six line as reef compatable so i wouldn't worry about it until you...

    Ahhhh!

    oooo, ok. well..... i think the best thing to do then would be to take the blenny out of the tank until the frags get good and stuck. or you can put the frags on another piece of rock.

    Ahhhh!

    do you only have one piece of live rock? because if you do, you should get more. you should have 1-2 pounds per gallon (make sure you get cured!). more live rock would allow the blenny to feed off of other rocks also so that he wouldn't be as interested in the rock you are trying to stick the...
