Possible Bristle Worm Infestation.

So I started out with an aquarium that was loaded with fish but I noticed a few started to die off for no apparent reason. All of my Green Chromis have disappeared. I snail gone and I am only left with 2 Purple Firefish, 1 Clownfish a two Zebra hermit Crabs, 1 Sand Sifting Cucumber and thankfully all 4 of my shrimp. Will I took a look at the tank in the evening and noticed these little guys... Bristle Worms. One that was exceeding 3 inches long. Top that with an algae bloom that made my beautiful rock look horrible I'm just left banging my head against a wall. I'm seriously thinking about boiling the rock in water for about 1 hour in order to kill everything and just start over.

 

Bristle worms WONT kill your fish. in all my years, I have never seen this. your tank is VERY new and in my opinion, you had a few too many fish in there. what are your AMMONIA, NITRITE and NITRATE levels? algae bloom is from nutrients in the water. your tank may be cycling due to the newer rock and the # of fish. plus you never know if the previous owner of that rock used tap water so it may have some phosphates in it. Check those too.

 

Kessil a360w Tune Blue Controllable LED Pendant.

After a few days of the United States Postal service giving me a minor heart attack from misplacing my delivery it has finally arrived. My new Kessil a360w Tuna Blue Controllable LED Pendant. I really liked the small design of the Kessil a150w Ocean Blue LED Pendant that I originally purchased but honestly could not get around how Blue the temperature of the color looked. So this light was the next obvious choice. Right from the beginning I was very impressed and just taken back by the size of the unit. Although compact for what it is. It literally dwarfs the Kessil a150w and I don't think its a bad thing.






The build quality is solid. The light itself has a good weight to it and the controls on the top of the unit function smoothly. I also was able to manage both the temperature and intensity of the light to exactly my preference and wow does it look amazing. My clam and xenia where immediately happy of the new spectrum. Now I just can't wait to order my controller so I can play around with the dimming and intensity capabilities on a schedule.

 

Love it! USPS has lost my light last week as well. Still no sign of it.

 

BTW, love the kessil. That was my 2nd choice

The United States Postal Service is just a joke of a service. I since have stopped using them because when something goes wrong and you call. It like they can't be bothered doing there job. It's always this is all the information we have and sorry but we can't do anything else you have to wait days to hopefully get a response. What light did you order?

 

What sized tank is this?????
