I Love this tank!! So...I have a 29 gal Bio Cube almost 3 months old...I have about 35-40 lbs of live Rock, 1 nemo, 1 Anthias, 1 (PJ) Pajama Cardinal, 1 Blue/Green Chromis, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 4-6 Snails, 4-6 Crabs, 2 Turbo Snails, & 1 Lawnmower Blenny. I recently added a Hawaiian Feather Duster. I recently noticed I have some kind of Green button polyphs coming out of a rock. (I think) Very Surprised. I also have some spaghetti worms coming out of another. When I bought some rock it also came with some type of mushroom coral that glows at night. I know for a fact that I have some of the bad feather dusters...the annoying ones..that I guess can over populate my tank and possible hurt some other corals or my fish. Can they? I forget the name.

Marine tanks are so much more fascinating than a
FW tank as the difference in all life forms is so much more exotic to me personally.
Sounds like you have some interesting fish choices as I like the chromis and the blennies myself. Blennies are really cool to watch because they have very funny personalities. Mine reminds me of a rabbit. You'll enjoy the Hawaiian Feather Duster, they are so beautiful and fun to watch also as they turn their petals and move to funnel the water collumn. You mentioned "bad" feather dusters? I was unaware there were bad dusters. Dusters are a type of worm that gains nutrients from the water and is not an aggressive species. Do you have a pic of this "duster" that is a concern to you?

I do have quite a few I think there glass something. Also we had some red & white stripe worms coming out of another rock. I think they are brissell worms. But when I look online they look different. I noticed that the worms were grabbing those annoying glass something and I was told that they can kill my bottom fish and some corals. Can they? Are these brissell worms?

From your description of the worms, they sound like bristle worms and I personally have never had a problem with them, with the exception of one. And that was because he grew to about 8 inches long and I felt compelled to remove him from my nano. Bristle worms help keep your tank clean, eating left over food from feedings and detrious from your fish. Mine pop in and out of the rock during feeding times and also come out at night. Do you have a pic of the worms that is a concern for you?

Anyways...I wanna start adding some coral. So...I have my calcium and everything else reading just fine. What is the best way to introduce some coral hard or soft? Is hard better? I heard it's hard to keep. Ok..so do you think I rambled off enough questions or what? I am so curious about alot of things...If I am going to fast please let me know.. Thanks a lot to all that offers there opinion.  |
Rambling is always a good thing my friend.
One can NEVER ask too many questions when it comes to marine reef keeping. There are no dumb questions as everyone has to start somewhere and this is a learning and growing experience. "Reefers School Together!"
As far as the coral choices go, what type of lighting you have will set the stage and dictate what kinds you can keep. Also, you must do your research to see what types of corals can live peacefully together and thrive as a growing community. Soft corals are always an exceptional starting choice, if you only chose one or two. That way it allows you to get your feet wet and get comfortable with it's care. And please do not forget rule #1! Whenever you are in your
LFS, please avoid impulse buying of species when you have no knowledge of their care and requirements as sometimes the information you recieve by store employees is not always correct. Go home, do your research and then decide if you still want the specimen that caught your eye. It will save you money and heartache in the long run if you follow this simple rule of thumb. And I can't wait to see you post some pic of that tank you have. How exciting!!!!!!!
