Hello from Blacksburg, Virginia (VA TECH)

Hello 3Reef and love the site.

I've had my 55 gal. reef (sortof) for 5 years, the species have become fewer due to a move 3 years ago but I wanted to back into it...so I figured it's time to join the forum.

In the next couple of weeks I will be switching from cc to a ssb (too nervous about a dsb and its dangers later in life). This forum is unique in that it has a SAND forum which I have not seen anywhere else (GREAT). I'm also probably going to purchase one or two 20L gal tanks to build my first sump next month.

Anyways...awesome website and forum.

 

welcome to 3reef!

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Wish it was still day time so my lights were on and I could stare at my tank. Flipped the kitchen light on a little bit ago and there are some very very ugly worms crawling my rocks...scary I touch those.

 

anyway you can get a pic of those very very ugly worms?

 

Welcome to 3reef... It's great to have another Hokie on here (though I wonder about the carolina thing). My wife and I had a 70 gal reef when we lived on Ridge Rd right close to the airport. There wasn't much for salt water in B'burg back then. We wound up getting most of our stuff in Richmond. It's still worth the trip if you need a good bricks-and-mortar fish store.

 

photos on the way

 

Here is a couple pics of the worms, one of the bristles and I'm not sure what the other is.

 

I'm thinking peanut worm? kinda looks like an earthworm though or even a leg from a starfish..... yes the other with the legs is bristle worm.

 

yes, they look like earthworms with a flat tube face.

When I change my substrate next week, I will be scrubbing the algae off some of my rocks, it's scary I'll be touching those with my hands.
