Do the pests ever go away?

[Jmnazari]

It seems like pests come and go at stages and waves. Like every tank goes through a spirorbid worm phase, then a aiptasia, and hair algae etc etc .... Now I'm on cyano :hammer:. Is there anything else I should be on the look out for after this cr@p? GSPs going wild? Bristleworms the size of the Mississippi? My tank is a year old, and I'd like to know what's left until my tank is nears maturity? Speeking of maturity, I turn 23 today! :xlbirthday:

have you had flatworms of pyramid sanils yet?.....my tank has been thru it all too

 

[Jmnazari]

Thanks Gary! Damn, I have't had those yet >:/ It's the stuff that won't be eaten by a predator or tang, that scare me. I only have a 46g and the tang police would be on me like a nassarius on a dead fish!

Second on wrasse. I got a mellanarus (spelling?) when I got zoa eating nudis. It saved several colonies of zoos. Also they consume Bristol worms, par,axxxxxxx snails, some flat worms I believe and other pests. I cannot absolutly say my wrasse is the reason but since I got him six months ago I have not seen a nudi, Bristol, or flatworm. In my store tank I can say that I found a nudi despite the six line in the tank. If I could only teach them to eat aptasia.

I had like, 10 pieces of bubble algae when my tank was 2 months old, but haven't had a piece since I've even put rocks with a few bubbles on it, and it seems to not like my tank one bit. LOL, i'll trade 23 for 21again! hahahaha i've been in school for far too long, and I can finally start to see a light at the end of this tunnel I was thinking about getting a smaller wrasse, but I like the bristle worms :S I know I know, weird, but at least I don't have to worry too much about overfeeding! LOL. It would be too perfect if there was a wrasse that ate every pest! I wonder how much they would cost hahahaha. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
