Looks like Aptisa to me, get a peppermint shrimp in there or get a soldering iron on them

Ahhhh fek

tank is only a week old so i cant put in live stock at the moment, whats the best way to kill these and there i was chuffed as that i had life in there lol

Thanks for the replies

 

[bae1994]

soldering iron seems to work best take rock out tank first tho lol

also it looks like in the picure youve got some red macro algea in the top right so thats life in there

Looks like its soldering time lol

I do have 2 tiny snails in there, i noticed them last night.

The tank is a UK 8 gallon how much live rock do i need in there at the moment i have approx 5 kilograms in there, i also have a Hydor koralia Nano powerhead, a V2 120 Nano Skimmer and a internal filter.

Guessing 8 Imp Gallons = roughly 20L = 2Kg of LR

 

[PornStar]

Well its a 35 litre tank, when i did the conversuion it came to 8 gallons

lol

 

[Morri]

Ahh 35L would be 4Kg of LR

Not sure what happened to the first calc

 

[PornStar]

Cool som im on overkill with the live rock

yay

if youre going to solder it, make sure its near the back door or even outside if you can,as it really really stinks

i pay my son good money to take care of mine
