StephJK, Welcome to 3Reef! Although most of this site is about marine tanks, you'll find an active freshwater community. Enjoy!
Jeff, welcome to 3Reef. With a setup like yours, and your DIY tendencies, I think you'll find a lot here that interests you.
No, I don't think he's dying. Not yet, anyway. Sometimes they react to subtle changes in the tank. My temp went up by 2 degrees last week and mine...
I started out with a Seaclone 100. My break-in period was about a week, with the air intake mostly closed. Be careful about additives in your...
Success! Karma to Elebriend!
There have been a couple of discussions on 3Reef about vitamin and other supplements. IMHO, anemones don't need them since they get most of their...
I've used both test strips and liquid tests. I have the same complaint about both when it comes to measuring pH: I can't tell what the answer is!...
It's hard to decipher what I'm looking at. What's the scale? Could you put a ruler next to it and take another picture?
You're right. I don't think it's a bristleworm, either. It's the wrong shape for a peanut worm. I'm stumped.

Excellent pics. Notice how they only bother to check out a certain shape of shell?
I had a chocolate chip star die from a fungal disease. The two serpent stars I currently have only lose part of their arms when the big (2") hermit...
+1 to the two posts above. I can't say never, but not in my experience nor in reading countless posts here on 3Reef.
I like the trap idea. I tried to catch one by hand and found he was almost as fast as a damsel. But, they're stupid. Put a big net behind him and...
I just added a couple of air stones and they've made a big difference in the water flow patterns. My filter is pulling in much more stuff -- I have...
My Serpent Stars like small bits of silversides fish. They'll reach out from under a rock with one arm and pull the piece in.
A TDS (total disolved solids) meter is exactly what you need. It measures minerals and disolved solids in parts per million (ppm). Use it to check...
I think that they are the color that they will keep. Besides, the picture is over 2 years old, according to the date stamp on the photo.
I had two Green Chromis, but they lived for less than 2 years. How about a Banggai Cardinalfish?
