Well, I don't know how well they are working, but I added two more today to try and get the upper hand. Last night, I sucked some out with a syphon.

Here's a shot of the bucket I syphoned out last night. I was suprised to see that they are still alive and moving around tonight, 24 hours later.....

Wow Chuck, that is scary stuff. And I am only running 3 x 1000W lamps but you know there is a lot of support stuff too. I have significantly less equipment than you, with NO chillers, etc. but the cost of power has gone up quite a bit here.

Chuck is part of the electric bill for the servers??

I didn't realize that is what flat worms looked like.

This is where I got my new Kalk Reactor from, sorry for the late response work has been hectic for the last few days.

John what was you final recommendation on your Kalk testing?

 

[jnarowe]

Hands down, Two Little Fishes (and a great price at Custum Aquatic). Next in line would be Warner Marine IMO.

I believe that they came in with the ricordeas that I was getting from Florida.

I can get you buckets full

When I first spotted them in the ricordea tank, I didn't know what they were. Tangdiver told me that they were flat worms and I confirmed this from reading Melev's website. Tried the syphon first and sucked up more gravel than worms, so I added a 6 line wrasse. One week later, it was dead along with the 4 fish that I had in the 75 which the ricordea tank was tied into. A couple of days later, I added a couple of damsels to the 75 again and they were dead within two days.

Tangdiver thought that possible the 6 line had acted as if it was in a smorgasbord and taken a bite here and there and not eating the entire flatworm and thus releasing the toxins into the system which killed the fish. After a 50% water change and running carbon on the tank for 5 days, I put a couple of chromis back in the 75 and they are still doing fine. That's when I decided to try the Nudibranch's. These things act as a vacume and suck up the flatworms.

Yes, my electric does include all of the computers. Make sure that you post pictures of your kalk reactor when you get it. I didn't see very good detail on their website. Project for today is to replace the pump on mine for the fourth time.....

I would guess 80~85% of my fish have come from online retailers. The remainder have come from the LFS.

jnarowe haha hopefully not.
