Folks please help me identify these critters: 1. Super creepy snail or nudibranch 2. Are these the dreaded flat worms? Came along with Chaeto, in my quarantine tank. Want to know if I should just toss the chaeto out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I will try to relocate them. The parents came from your tank @Klems! I think got these from you like an year back or so..

Will try tomorrow, need to clean the glass well

Well, I added several coral frags in last few weeks (I don’t QT corals I dip add them after 2 weeks of observation in frag tank). When I found these tiny anemones I researched Majanos they look quite similar.

I can’t tell from the looks of it if I should grow it or discard. Some info: I have a pair of Rockflowers. I observed few more of these tiny anemones popped up on sand in low flow area. Discovered a couple of them a month back, right now it’s around 8-9 in the tank mostly on sand. Photos:

I have exactly same setup two 55 gallon barrels in my backyard; they are right on the opposite side of the Tank though. I use Apex DOS to auto-water change 1.5 gallons it’s very precise I check it every once in a while. It has two pumps in one dumps water out and other brings in fresh...

Did this with my current build, although the dry rock I used were cooking for 2 months along with my 2 year old live rocks from previous tank. New tank cycled instantly and I added Softies on Day1. What corals do is basically bring additional biome and bacteria that are essential. Tank is...

Hello Everyone! Finally starting a journal for the new tank, RedSea Reefer 425. Its my second tank, started this hobby with a sumpless 20G long tank with mechanical filtration. Decided to upgrade (obviously with wife's permission), as I got addicted to growing corals! My 20G (sometime last...

Thanks for the suggestions and personal experiences. I also seriously thinking about mixing Kessils and Radions. I have not tweaked my light settings for months. I think I am the set it and leave it kind. Ha ha. I agree this hobby is so diverse, not just the livestock and corals but also...

I have also been thinking of just getting one of the lights for now instead of stocking all of them. once I actually start adding corals and their lighting need increases I can add more lights of same or different company or even LED bars.

Great to hear. Can you point me your tank journal? Have been trying to visualize the look of the tank. I will checkout if you have some photos out there.

I am a fan of budget reefing. My 20 G runs on nikrew light, grows soft corals and lps just fine. But I found it hard to research and achieve right settings since there is very small community. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into these lights as well.

Folks, I have decided to upgrade to red sea 425 (approx. 90 gal display) will create a build thread soon(spouse approved project ). Looking to buy lights this thanksgiving season. Confused between 2 Kesil Ap9x or three radion XR 15. Radion is even more confusing with pros and blues. Visited...

She loves them, they seem like they are settling in slowly.

@Klems: I am interested to get a couple of them are there any left?

Does look like dinoflagellates , you should notice it will become long stringy when exposed to light. I defeated really bad Dino infestation recently. Only thing that worked was a UV filter. Observe if the dinoflagellates dissolve in the water column at night. If so, UV filter is your best bet...

@thesassyindian Hope she retains her interest as she grows . I am planning to start journalling during holidays.

Do you have room for a HOB breeder box attached to the Tank? I put chaeto in a small fluval breeder box, with a low powered motor and some cheap grow lights. It keeps nitrates in check and supports pod population. Well, it took my nitrates to 0 so now I control the number of hours i overflow...

Exciting, would love to hear about your progress!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! hope its Fremontian; sounds like a star wars tribe ha ha!
