Thanks, did it. Some small white dots the size of the sharp tip of a pin came off. I will keep you informed. Will try the lugol's next if this doesn't work.

Thanks so much! I think I will try the fresh water dip first. How long should I dip them for?

Info please! And I don't think Krish will ever get another tank :D

I was going to come by and do some reading and a big 'ol WARNING IN RED DON'T GO HERE sign was posted. I hope everything is back to smooth sailing for you Chuck and co.

Ewwwwww That is scarey!!!!! The pictures are amazing though. What kind is it?

Now THAT size would hurt!!! I too find bristle worms to be helpful detrivores in my tank. I have gotten the bristles in my fingers and 76Frags is right they hurt.

I have a bottle of live rotifers is there any chance of spot feeding the hatchlings in my main tank? I realize I would have to turn off the pumps for a time. The eggs are due to hatch tonight. Insane question but wondering if anyone had tried this?

I think there is some sort of worm that builds tubes from sand. I see that happening under and around rocks all the time. I have never seen them do this on the glass though. Probably snail eggs.

Thanks for the info Vinny :) . I was overfeeding. It seems like I upset the balance of the tank and haven't gotten it quite back to a good place. I will check in to Purigen by Seachem. Might give it a try. Thanks again!!

I have had the same problem over a 1 year period. I can't be sure but did find this shell in the tank at about the same time I added a new rock. I had several healthy colonys of zoos and lots of mushrooms. They have slowly disappeared. I tend to think that it is a lack of tank husbandry on my...

I was sorry to read about Willis. I hope this New Year brings less sad experiences your way.

Happy New Year to you too! Is it snowy enough over there for you??

Hi Everyone, I know this has been asked countless times before but I being the computer whiz that I am (not) I couldn't find any references to what is the best brand or type of carbon to use for general purposes. Could someone please help me with this? Does it really matter if I get the brand...
