I found this when I moved some of my live rock. Is it ok to put it back in the tank? Or is it bad? It moves like a shrimp and worm if that makes sense, almost on its side when I'm watching it. Did not float around the tank when it first came out. It stayed near the sand bottom.

Hey Guys, Ok, just posting my next project. I have a dedicated 30 Gallon Mandarin Tank that I had set up to feed adult brine shrimp to a male mandarin and two scooter dragonets I had for close to a year. Due to a bad fish purchase, I lost my mandarin due to a brook outbreak. I currently have...

Hey, My tank is not yet mature in any means of the sense. However, i do have my sights on the future, and my biggest wish list fish is a Mandarin Dragonet. I love that psychedelic look. Anyway, I have enough sense not to purchase one et because i generally don't like watching pets starve to...

Hi there -does anyone know what these are? We have a few in our tank (that I can see). Hey jump and swim back down kind of like a jellyfish. I just noticed them today for the first time.

Alright so here's my setup. I have a 25 gallon reef tank, with a scooter blenny and perc clownfish. My second tank, is a 15 gallon with about 10 lbs of live rock and Tigger pods. I'm going to bed adding tisbe pods soon. These tanks arent connected and I think that's what I want to do. I know I'm...

Today was the first day I officially started my seperate refugium. I recieved a couple different types of algaes in the mail along with 500 pods to start the breeding. I also took one live rock out of my display tank and put it in the refugium. I dont want this to be a failure so I just want...

I just purchased a mandarin for my 75 gallon and I been thinkin about setting up a nano tank to breed copepods and brine shrimp. I have a 5 gallon fluval edge but I think the filter and current are too strong. What will i need to set this breeding station up and how do u mantain it?

Hi Everyone, I appreciate any help with this issue. I am having some pest issues.... All at once. 1. I think I have Acoel flat worm bloom. If this is Acoel flatworms... should I worry about them? I have read a lot of mixed review. Let them be, ripe your tank apart and scrub... Can I get a...

I've followed the forums on this set for a while and have finally taken the plunge and become a member. I was hoping someone could help me i.d. This critter. It's about the size of a comma (,) . I thought maybe an amphipod or copepod ? It's visible though, I also added love Copepods about 2...

So I went to clean the front glass on my tank today and noticed a bunch of red dots on one end of my tank. Upon further inspection they appear to be copepods. I haven't added any to my tank and haven't added anything they can hitch a ride on to lately so I'm not sure where they came from...

When we do water changes, we must get rid of some copepods, right? Are we just assuming that enough are left to repopulate?

So, if you haven't seen the original easy to construct pod farm, >Here is the link< This however is a different animal altogether. Its a high capacity pod farm. -Dual redundant chambers in case of culture crash. -Stackable card holder for easy pod removal -Side recirculating airstones to keep...

So after many inquires and a lot of information flying around. I decided to finally build a large pod farm. I have raised pods successfully before and I want to use my knowledge to build a bigger, better, and more successful setup. This can be used to help maintain a Mandarin, Seahorses, Or...

So I'm really excited about a potential dragonette in another year. I'm planning how to keep my pod population thriving. Its a 55g hex. I'm avoiding a wrasse or other pod snitching fish. Ive got a gallon hob "fuge", but its goal is pods, not algaegrowth fornutruent removal. Will the pods...

I have an old Emperor HOB filter that works well. My question is could I use it to grow a seeded batch of copepods in it a d what would I put in it for them to grow in,(chaeto or something similar) or would there be to much flow and just wash them out? Any ideas are welcome

I was wondering if copepods are good to feed to clownfish and anemones?
