Ok, maybe not millions but there are a whole ___load of them in my tank. They appeared suddenly about one month ago, a few on the tank walls, then noticed them in huge numbers by the end of the week. The only thing that I noticed happening when they came into the tank that my emerald and...

I have seen a few RSM pictures here with extensions on the stock output adaptors at the back of the tank. I bought the articulated extension but am unsure of how to hook it onto the existing port. The extensions came without any instructions for connecting. Anyone have any ideas?

So I see this blob in my tank about 6 weeks after set up. And it seemed to be cutting a fine swath through the algae collected on the back glass (very welcomed event). It had stayed out of sight for the whole 6 weeks to my surprise. Am I correct that this is a sea hare? It has been a few...

One other question. I have great flow through my RSM with an extra hydor pumping 600gph, but I still have pockets of detrius in between the bottom of my rocks. Is it alright to 'suck up' the detrius from the top level of live sand with my 10% water changes? Knowing that I will be disturbing the...

I started my RSM 130d about 6 weeks ago with about 30lbs uncured tonga rocks and live sand (20lbs?). I have never had a satisfying rise in ammonia with a peak at 0.3 to maybe a .5 mg/L. I have never been able to see any Nitrites, and still testing near 0 for nitrates. Today my ammonia looks...

I assume these beautiful blue creatures are squirts? I had 5 of them and now there are 3. Is there any way to keep them healthy? I think I read that they are near impossible to survive. They are almost etheral in their translucent blue and white winged mouths. This forum is excellent. I just...

I have been using steam distilled water from my local pharmacies for the past few years. But everyone seems to extol the virtues of reverse osmosis water. I did not think I could find any bottled reverse osmosis water, but have now realized that we fill our water cooler bottles with water...

Hello, a Canadian, living in North America's most livable city, Vancouver (that's what is said so on the news this morning!) On my 4th set up, presently an RSM 130L (34 g). I had limited knowledge (and patience) in my first 3 Salt water aquariums from early 80s, early 90s and most recently a...
