jetskisteve Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Layton can you direct me to how you "cooked" yr rock, I missed that article, Keen to read up on it. Sorry Brian, Now back to B worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well, the thing is, I didn't intentionally cook my rock. Is is an ongoing process at the moment, after the skimmer upgrade. It just happened. Here is a good explanation of it (look for the bold text in the first post): http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ... genumber=1 So it is usually done by removing the rock from the tank and putting it in buckets in the dark. That is the fastest way of doing it. Doing it in tank apparently takes much longer. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 does the same apply to rock? This is the part I found hardest to get my head around to start with. I'll start a new thread here: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewto ... 9531#89531 Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 My tank must be absolutely filthy. Picked up a rock the other day and all the sand bed underneath was moving, there were that many worms making the great escape. Recenty I have notice heaps of mystus shrimp running around in the open. I think this has more to do with no major predatory fish rather than the tank being dirty. When I had a large wrasse in then tank (and more fish than now) you would never see anything running around when the lights were on. It was a killing machine.

petplanet Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Just counted more than 20 living in the rough side of my floating magnet glass cleaner. An easy catch anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeh1 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 My dottyback limits the population as far as I have seen, for both pods and bristleworms. He is FAT as now and growing heaps, ducking off into my coral rock regularly. Although I don't think he could even attempt to eat my big bristleworms, which are about 4inchs in length. Bristeworms must of eaten my poor sick old clown fish as he was never found. I think Bristleworms are great in controling water quality, by eating waste matter as are pods.
