two pics of the worms from the top instead of the underside, with what i call a normal bristle worm. you can see that the protrusions don't seam to have any hair, and one pic of a finished Aptasia, and on closer examination it apears that the white specs in the carcass could be eggs.

yes liquid we met at troy's and if you would like you can come and inspect them yourself. Yes they are eating the Aptasia at a rather faster rate than the Berghia, and I do not beleive they are regular bristle worms. For one the largest is only about 1/2 inch streched out, two, to the naked eye...

I'm raising Berghia to handle my Aptasia problem in a ten gallon tank by cycling in infested LR as needed to feed the brood. Lately I noticed that the Aptasia were disapearing at an unusualy high rate, and in a rather odd way. This was about the time that I started seeing these half inch long...

In my tank the output of the stream would dig up the the argonite on the otherside of the aquarium 4 foot away. I tried reaiming, placing a lr there to buffer it but still about the best i could do was one month to the gratting below the argonite. now my fish do't get blown around, i don't have...

the manual even tells you what size pipe to use. without the defusers the stream of water was very strong and would dig holes in the substrate on the opposite end of the tank. my streams are not of the adjustable type. that to me would seem to defeat the pourpose. mine still put out nearly 100...

i have 2 of the smallest streems in my 120g. to tame the output I added about 8 inches of pipe to the output (i think it was 1 1/2 inch diameter) and capped the ends. then i drilled a couple of dozen holes. lots of water movement without the concentrated stream.
