vvhoisjohngalt · 02/05/2007, 04:41 PM

i dont have a picture sorry no camera. and ive looked through articles and searched but im probably not even close to finding what it is.

i just noticed a few in my overflow the other day. they are about 3/8" long elongated football shape with little hairs on one end. vanilla colored. the hairs are microscopic and seem to go straight out from the end. the body looks like it has little bumps all over it.

i think i have one growing on the underside of my overflow and looks like it is branching off. it is about 1/2" long and has little hairs coming out of the part that is branching off.

maybe some sort of worm or soft coral?

thanks

Can someone please let me know which are the best heaters to use inside the marine tank please.

I have a juwel 300w which hasn't got the settings on the side so it is quite hard to set the temp. I also have a Visi-Therm 300w heater which i just brought today but i have just found out that they do a stealf one also which is not the same as the glass one i have.

I am just trying to get 2 heaters running in my 225ltr tanks to make sure it is running ok.

anyway i don't want to keep going on and on so thanks again.
