hitch hiker tube worms and water quality
How good does water need to be for these to live? I've been wonder if something was messed up with my water because I keep having stressed out fish that eventually die.
I do test for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and they are all 0 (took a while to get nitrate there) so I was starting to wonder if there was something else in my water causing the stress. I'm ordering a RO/DI unit right now but I have been using tap water. But the one piece of sps I have and two pieces of LPS and those hitchhiker tube worms seem to be doing great. Can I look at these as indicators of good water quality? |

They really arent anything but like you said, if they dont survive, then something is up... These little things are extremely hardy so no special care is required you can even feed them to let them grow. I dont really care for them so if they live, they live, if not, whatever
 Not sure whats up with your fish problem though. Hope that helps, Wiz
