I can answer all questions regarding setting up of your aquarium , filtration systems, all water chemistry. I can also answer questions regarding fish infections,disease,parasites. I am very familiar with all medications. I can tell you what fish do well together...aggressives to community tanks. How to clean your aquarium, and filtration managment. I also do brakish aquariums know all the same info. Please don't ask me about reef systems....Its not that I'm unfamiliar. They are just too much work and not as stable. Especially if its small. If you want to ask me questions about stocking them or what goes well with what that is fine. Please go big water if you go reef!!!!! | |

Hi Theresa, It doesn't sound like a bristle worm, perhaps they are flat worms or peanut worms, which are harmless. There is also a chance they could be copepods or amphipods which are great to have
Hi Mike, Sorry to hear of your troubles... For now, I would stop dosing the aquarium with the CaribSea Purple Up. This will give the aquarium a chance to balance itself. The live sand and live rock
