i must be doing something right... quick update... well my inverts are getting along fine. i added a fanworm and two more snails including a cowrie i couldn't resist, its beautiful. the diatom spots are disappearing, and the coralline i have is slowly spreading and its color is getting deeper...

***This idea of mine is not concrete yet, so I figured I would post up here for some insight and second opinions.*** A while back I set up an old 29 gal I had laying around for saltwater just out of curiosity, and have been thoroughly enjoying every bit of it since (except an ich disaster that...

thx Thanks, Jasen. I used to think the copepod and its like were microscopic. ( I was obviously misinformed) Also, while checking out my new copepod colony, I noticed a single worm like thing crawling on my glass. It was about 3 or 4mm long, white, and it had very small but distinct segments or...

i was checking in on my tank today... all i have now is a coral banded a turbo snail and a pencil urchin. but anyway, i was checking in on them and i noticed these really TINY white specks, that appear to be thriving in my tank. they seem to hang out near the bottom half more towards the...

ich problem! I've just recently (2 mo. ago) set up my 30 usgal salt water aquarium... let it cycle w/ a couple damsels, then slowly added from there. Now it seems to me that my royal gramma is "scratching" on the sand/rock/whatever, whenever it can. Its not a constant thing, but it seems to...
