  • What are spirorbid worms? (Reef Tank Questions)
Now that your tank has been up and running for a while, and you've added some fish and corals, you may have noticed some tiny white dots about the size of a pinhead growing on your glass, overflow boxes, and maybe even in your sump. They are Spirorbid Worms, which are filter feeders. It won't hurt to scrape them off if you don't like the appearance, but they are harmless and are considered normal in a healthy reef tank environment. This image is of their selfmade shell, and a tiny feather duster which pops out to capture nearby particulates. Totally reef-safe.

  • Jebao PP-4 is too noisy so I'm returning it!
The Jebao PP-4 was on my wishlist for a very long time and I was very disheartened when I set it up and found out how noisy it is. You can hear a 'buzz' from the pump every time it comes on and I can hear it from my living room. I got a replacement from Amazon in case it was defective but the replacement does it as well!

  • Gorgeous Rainbow RBTA / Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
I was hesitant to add another anemone after my sebae anemone died, despite that it wasn't really my fault (it had a foot injury) but so far this rainbow RBTA is doing amazing in my tank and makes a beautiful addition.
