They are too small to tell if they are mysis shrimp. Probably wont stick around long enough to develop into anything, though. If they are hermits I'm gonna need some small shells. Bob *

I was looking at my tank this morning before work and I noticed these things swimming around. They look like tadpoles, they are all white and are about 1/16 long. They are alive because I witnessed them wagging their tails trying to swim. I have 1 maroon clown, 1 watchman goby, a peppermint...

It just goes to show you how far people will travel to get good advice and quality livestock. When you invest all your time and money on your reef tank only to add a sick fish or get bad advice from an unknowledgeable lfs owner it can be frustrating. Even though I am a beginner, coral reef...

I have a 55 gallon that I started 2 months ago. I have about 5 inches of southdown sand and some live rock. Is it too late to add live sand? If not how should I add it? My tank has a dozen snails, two dozen hermits, a peppermint shrimp, maroon clown, and yellow watchman goby. Thanks, Bob

I have never heard of a "burp tube". Is this something I can make myself? Thanks Bob

Has anyone modified this overflow to make it quiet? After I removed the filter media I can't get it to run quiet. I tried the Durso mod but I didn't have any luck. I am only using this wet/dry as a way to skim the surface of my 55 gallon. TIA Bob

My tank is very well populated with these small worms. They are not causing any problems at the moment but I'm worried they might get bigger and out of control. Any population management suggestions?

According to the manual's illustration, the heater's temp control is shown above the water level. Does anyone use this heater fully submersed. It doesn't say that it is submersible anywhere. It is a 250 Watt Thanks
