    Algae question (green hair)

    Just like everyone said, I have green hair algae now that my brown algae has disapeared. I never thought to ask what to do about it. Well here I am now with a thin 1/2" layer of it on just one piece of rock. I turned my lights off and plan on leaving them off for the next few days, been using...

    death by cat

    BTW, how did you like the sailfin? I've been thinking about getting one when our tank is ready for more fish. I couldnt decide on a yellow tang or a sailfin and I think I like the latter better simply because of the way they look when they raise their fins.

    Found a very odd creature

    Did you mean the "other" right?:mrgreen: I couldnt resist...Upper left corner I see something that resembles it. My LFS guy told me it was prolly a spaghetti worm and was more than likely harmless. Hey as long as they eat just dead things he's good to me. Thanks for all the replies and help.

    Found a very odd creature

    Cool, the pic worked.:^: The head (assuming) was at the bottom right corner and it seemed to get thinner towards the back. What is strange is that I just got done watching this video last night on youtube and I wake up this morning to see this. Weird huh? Could this be the same thing...

    Oh I forgot to add that it was all white with no other coloration and no abvious features other than it looked like a very skinny earthworm.

    Found a very odd creature

    I've had this piece of Christmas tree rock in quarantine for a couple of weeks and it is full of life, well I had no idea just how much. The rock is only about as big as my fist but it has paired feather duster worms, about a dozen bristle worms, and now this. I woke up for work this morning and...

    Saw the coolest thing tonight...

    At least it was cool to me. Being a noobie, first sightings like this I guess would make it more exciting. Since my tank is finaly clearing I can see things like this now. Anyhow, I saw one of my small blue legged hermits crabs was parked next to a nice shiney, bright white, slighly larger...

    I've had coudy water for days now

    I am very new to all of this so I may not be able to answer your questions correctly, but I will try. Not sure if a skimmer is the same as a sump or not but I have a Coralife 125 hanging on the side of the tank. Never heard of a filter sock As far as activated carbon I have the filters...

    I've had coudy water for days now

    Just what the title says, I've had it for about 5 days now and it hasnt gotten any better. I did a search on this sight about cloudy water and came up with a few ideas of what the problem could be and inevitably figured out that I had something dead behind my base rock. So I did a small water...
