Well, now what I am thinking is taking the real bad anemonia covvered rocks out and putting them in FRESH water! for about 3 or so hours Then, I can battle what is left in the tank and hopefully win the fight this time. I figure I will have to kill off about 80-100# of rock then SLOWLY...

I've noticed that when the lights are on these guys are stretching for the light. I'm wondering if they need it to live. I have waited too long to attempt to fight this anemonia outbreak and now it too late. I'm thinking of removing the live rock, and putting it in a bucket of saltwater with...

OK, after a year of makeshift sumps and failed glass sumps, I've decided to try my hand a a "HOMEDADE" acrylic sump. Questions, 1/4 plastic, is it easy to work with? Now this is what I have so far. Weld-on #16 (seems what the board recomends) research about plastic cutting, at least an 5-8...

Aww well, He did not show himself last night! I was watching the tank this morning and a Green chromis is GONE! and another green chromis looks like he was attacked by something (Big gash on one side). This Monster WILL PAY! Hopefully he will show me his new hiding spot tonight so I can set...

OK, some people, here saw my terrible picture and jazzed it up alot!! Now I think you can actually make out this beast. http://66.65.40.233/stillugly.jpg http://66.65.40.233/stillugly2.jpg Thank you Cindy, Henry for your help in making this picture viewable.

I will try to get a better pic tonight...

Well, being that the room and the fishtank have to be PITCH BLACK for him to rear his ugly head, I think the flash on my Nikon 995 did rather well shooting through a foot of water! However, it is a bad pic, but the conditions are far from optimal...

I will attempt extraction tonight.... I'll see if I can get a better pic too thanks

I don't know if he is good or bad but he has been in my tank for a while. I have not added ANYTHING in the past year, which means, this bugger has been ducking me for months!! Can anyone identify this crab, he's big (well about 2") and a face only a mother could love...

thank you for your reply Chucker, I do have a Vermetid snail in my tank it came attached to my Elagance coral and it is indeed in that area. My dilema is what the hell is caught in his web of mucus? It looks like a cocoon of some sort with spines running down the middle of it. I have never...

I awoke this morning to find this "thing" attached, by a long string of mucus to my live rock. I only found one and I have NEVER seen this before. attached find some pics of "IT". It looks like some sort of cocoon, but to what I do not know. Please help. Thanks

OK, I guess I have to resort to the fresh water soaking of my live rock. Injections sometimes work but they are beyond that point now. I will try to remove like 10 Lbs of LR a week until these buggers are dead. Hopefully I will get a handle on them soon. If their are any other suggestions...

I am at a point now of anemonia overrunning my tank! Out of desperation, I have been killing live rock and anemonia with RO/DI fresh water dips. I'm wondering if possibly a low salinity treament might work better? Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking if I can fill a bucket with Saltwater...

I've been battling algae, in my 155 for the past four months...I threw everything at it...More snails, On 7/30/01 I added 40 Turbo's, 50 Cerith, 20 Bumblebee and 3 Cukes. 8/20/01 no change in algae growth. Know I hit the boards again, read many posts regarding a Refugium. So I stroll to...
