Wow.. that thing makes my huge fireworms look like cute inhabitants..

Greg, Combofix and Malware bytes is much better at removing nasty items.. You can send me a PM and I can help you if you need it, but in a nutshell. Download Combofix http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe and MalwareBytes http://mbam.malwarebytes.org/program/random.phpand...

Merry Christmas everyone and sorry for posting in the emergency forum! So, this morning the room smelled really fowl of burning electronics and at first I thought it was the new hard drive I left on burning in over the night. After a little bit of investigation I found out that the koralia...

Re: Breaking Down Frag Tanks Few Frags FS I'm interested in taking a look if you are local. Where on the shore are you? Nice frag tank and trumpet colony btw.

When I was 4 months in I loved seeing 'unknown critters' since they were ALL unknown/new to me :-) The spider I had posted earlier was actually a zoa spider.. at least that's my assumption since I found it on a piece of LR that I picked up from a local club member during my first ever swap...

I've never had a problem with peppermint shrimp ( I have 2 ) and I have two BTA's and some hammer, but each one is different and I did not pick them up for this problem.. although I did have a few before the peppermints and now they are gone. The berghias are actually in the nudibranch family...

Hi guys, I decided to redesign my wet/dry sump retrofit to reflect more of a real sump and I had some questions on flow and orientation of the pumps output on my 47G high tank. The original sump was a amiracle 2 section sump that was probably about the size of a 10gal tank and acrylic. Rough...

Why do you want to cook the rocks? Other than first critter there those hitchhikers are beneficial to the entire system. If you really wanted to just get rid of them you can buy some bergais (spelling wrong) and for the flatworms you can use a chemical to nuke them. I used one of them in my two...

If you saw no skimmate then you probably need to play with your skimmer to adjust the wet/dryness of it. I admit that I have still never learned this technique. I run a skimmer on both of my tanks (Tunze Nano and some Proclear BS in DT) and I empty them maybe once every two weeks and i'm lucky...

Here is a picture of one of the reef spiders I had before I "relocated" it. The body is somewhat translucent from the side, so I guess it could look blue under atinics.

Sorry to hear about your fish. Since the fish is eating pretty well I would suggest changing it's diet to a very high protein diet of black worms. You should be able to find them at one of your local pet stores. Do a search for one of Paul's postings about how good they are for helping your...

My understanding is that if the water is in a closed container and moving it should be fine indefinitely. I just used the last of 45-50 gallons of salt water I made 3 months ago... It's been sitting in the garage in a 55g Brute trashcan capped with a 135gph pump. I pulled out about 5 and 10...

It depends on whom you ask, but my experience has been that they are good. Dr. Jim will agree with me. I picked up a rock with about 12 of those monsters and I have picked off about 6 just in case, but really only because I used to have my hands in my tank too often. They are true fireworms...

Jcurry. Thanks! That was a great read and it would have saved me many post readings in my researching before buying a tank. As with most new reefers, I admit to jumping into the hobby before spending enough time researching and I spent the price in dollars, but luckily not really in inhabitants...

So, I am still pretty new at this hobby - about 14 months on my DT and 9 months on my 15g. However, I am really beginning to wonder if water changes are really a good thing / restrict growth? I know a lot of you will probably have a lot of negative comments on this behavior, but please hear me...

I'm planning on going Sunday since tomorrow is not going to work out due to the 2:00 drop off. It looks like you are going tomorrow though so it may not work out. I can bring some on the 12th or worst case, if I can't make it, give some to MikeM for you and others. I dumped about a gallon...

Happy Gobble Day everyone! Great animated gif btw rgarofalo.. ha!

... I've been pruning my Halimeda forest in my DT and I can also bring some to R2R on Saturday or Sunday. I'm still trying to figure out which day I will be picking up. My forest is so thick the green star polyps are growing OVER/surrounding it. The Halimeda has a GPS cloak :P I guess GPS...

I just cleaned my sump out to do a major spring cleaning. I had a major flatworm outbreak in the sump (only) and when I saw them I cut the sump off from the DT. I could not find medicine locally, so I let it sit, without heat or top off for about 3 weeks. By the time I purchased the rid-x (or...

Hi guys, Not sure if this belongs here... but here we go. I came across this tonight and I could not pass it up. http://ihavetohavethat.com/index.php I have everything on a GFCI receptacles, but my timers are really old (some digital that reset when the power goes out) and these things...
