There were some really tiny black dots crawling on a frag when I dipped it last night. I managed to get one under my microscope. Is this bug a problem? If so, any ideas for treatment? The frag is in a quarantine tank. Thanks!

We have had some issues with our Apex probes. It's probably not your water. Check that nothing's crawling on it and that it's properly submersed.

We have a beautiful ORA neon dottyback from TSM Corals. It is my favorite fish in the tank - active, interesting, not at all shy. It knows that people = food, so it comes out and watches you when you approach the tank. Unfortunately, my SO Mark is very fond of his little Maxima clam, and the...

We actually did all of the first three!

Great advice! I’ll be looking at cameras today. I also like the heater set-up. I’m not sure I’m comfortable with being skimmerless for an extended time... I usually use a 10-gallon container for the ATO, but I have a couple of 25-gallon food-grade trash cans that we use for water changes so we...

I’m planning to hardwire the apex so I’m not relying on the Wi-Fi. We have a loooong cable!

Yeah, jazeel50, that's what we thought until the debacle in August! Now I'd like more supervision. Plus, one of our trips will be closer to two weeks. So, still looking for pet sitter help...

How do you find a good tank sitter? We will be traveling some in the next couple of months, and I don't feel comfortable leaving our tank solely in the hands of automation. Our power went out and tripped the GFCI outlet for the tank while we were on vacation in August. My son was stopping in...

That's what I was hoping! Thank you.

This is growing in my sump. (There are others as well). It is about two inches across. Any idea what it is? Thanks!

We do what Steve does, using the two 32-gallon Brute trash cans on wheels and a pump. We make our own RO/DI water, and change about 25% every two weeks.

I had starfish years ago and we fed them small clams. Just dropped the whole clam in the tank, and the starfish opened them and ate them.

Somehow I missed this post, and I really wanted a shirt! Please let me know if you are going to put in another order. Thanks!
