Hi all,
I noticed this worm in my tank, is this a bristle worm? If so, how do I get rid of this? I've read that they ok in the tank cuz they eat a lot of junk but they just look horrible! [IMG][/IMG] Just spotted another one yikes!!! [IMG][/IMG] Last edited by Snyper19; 05/19/2013 at 11:08 AM. |

i usually get rid of the bristle worms, cant see in the pic, but its not that they are bad now, but if you got alot of them down the line and they can get bigger and bigger its not a good feeling when your scared to pick up any rock. lol
chiller is neat.

i got me long tweezers/forceps, whatever, and i pluck them out as i see them... sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt...
my mentality is, if they are in the rock, they are keeping it clean so they are ok... but if they grow a pair and decide to come out ike they own the place, they get pulled out into a cup placed under the lights for 15 mnutes till they dry out and then crushed into pulp then rinsed down the sink... teaches all the other worms a lesson on whose boss and keeps them in their place... hope this helps |

Quick question... I traded my Xenia and got a hammer coral, but I'd like to know where should I place my coral, I've read that they need to be at the bottom , any suggestions?

place at bottom where the current is minimal. then if you see fit move it closer to the top but only if you think it needs it. i would leave it alone where it opens at its fullest. good luck

So I placed the hammer on the sand bed and it seems to like it more. Also, I got a torch coral since the LFS got everything 25% off... The torch I placed it in a hole that existed in one of my rocks so its a bit higher than the hammer, I don't know if I should place the torch on the sand bed

I have one question, as most of you might know , I own a refugium but at the moment I just have water on it... The last water test I did was about 2 days ago and I didn't have any issues with my water as my last test came good... Some one gave me macro algae from one of his tank ( it was from a LFS ), my question is should I put it in Or not even with it?

Yeah, I won these... The only one I didn't win was the purple bonsai but I contact the owner and he added it for the ending bidding price , I lost the purple bonsai at the last minute by 50 cents
