    Acropora ?????

    In my ever expanding interest and purchases, this is one of the more recent. I had little idea that there are so many variants. I did not note the rest of the name. So which one is this? The color is a little washed out as it is much pinker than this photo shows ... a little trouble with color...

    aquarium vacuums??

    I am not interested in vacuuming the substrate or live rock. But, having very recently realized that I have a flat worm infestation and reading about various methods for their removal. This comes down to melanurus wrasse or Flatworm Exit ... natural versus chemical. Part of the chem process...

    Are these flat worms of some kind?

    Very difficult to get focused well and this is one of the best pics. These are ~1/8" long. Wife bought a lot of pods from reefs2go and I bought plants from aquacon about the same time. This is in the 50 gal refugium. I am pretty sure that these came with the pods. One of my fish guys said...

    ~1" long blue thread

    It was too quick to get a pic. It looks like a blue thread such off the bottom of blue jean cutoffs ... except it moves on its own and may stays on the bottom. I will work on getting a pic.

    is this some king of hydra?

    when fans are not enough

    The system is all pretty & new per the signature. Chemistry is near perfect. Lighting is a 4 tube 36" TO5 on the refugium & a 6 tube 48" on the main tank. Those lights are a lot of heat .. I had no idea the heat load would be so high. I decided on these for the future coral in the main + variety...
