  Urgent help needed small insects from live rock coming out

  Posted: January 5th, 2011, 11:30pm CST by da.low

  hi
  
  My shrimps just started to die and then I saw the (small white, see through) insects from the live rock appeared and by the looks of it, most of them are died.
  
  I tested my nitrites and calcium and its all good/ ok.
  
  I hope my corals and live stock will make it tonight :(

  Urgent help needed white worms,bubbles & brown dust on top of my aragonite

  Posted: December 6th, 2010, 9:25pm CST by da.low

  Hi
  
  I got my tank recently- dating back almost 5 months.
  
  All seemed fine...until now. I got white look alike worms popping up from the rocks and my aragonite....is this the norm or do i have some sort of infection in my tank.
  
  On top of that i got bubbles...small tiny bubble...appearing at the bottom of my tank.The bottom of the tank and rocks are also coloured with a brown dust.
  
  Lastly i got two of my fish looking proportionally large...like they are pregnant.
  
  I extremely concern and will appreciate your feedback.
  
  thanks
  
  Orange: small tiny bubble
  Red: worms popping up from the rock

  A lad going marine

  Posted: September 22nd, 2010, 5:40pm CDT by da.low

  HEEELLlllooooOOooo
  
  I started out with fresh water fish for about 7years and decided to try marine.
  The tank has been cycling for about 8 weeks with live rock so for the last weeks i have been looking at my rocks and wiping the glass off patiently (and yes every1 thought i was loosing my noodles:lol: )...
  Its now about 2 months bought some fish and everything is going "OK, i guess"...lol
  I have to admit that its a bit of a pain in the a$$ to maintain a marine tank.
  
  well don't know much about marine ,but yep...at least the live stock is still alive :yeahdude:
  About my tank
  - 1200x 600x 600
  - 4X T5 lights (2- blue and 2 white)
  - 300W heater
  - about 20kg of live rock i guess...
  - got a biocolour blenny, tomato clown, damsel and a chrome.
  - and of course a protein skimmer, sump and a stinky power head.
  
  that's that...
