Glass lice are one of the pests that often keep you busy. Their uncanny urge to multiply in the saltwater aquarium means that you usually have to think about reducing the glass lice sooner rather than later. This can be done with certain animals such as Lysmata shrimps or a certain nudibranch, but also with other means such as AIP-AWAY, which ARKA introduces here for a price of 9,90 €.
Reef Delete is the ultimate tool for pest control and aquarium maintenance. Whether it's glass rose, algae or flatworms Reef Delete takes care of it all and more thanks to its powerful UV-C beam. The unique, proprietary wavelength destroys the DNA in the cells of a target organism, causing cell function to stop and the pest to eventually be damaged and naturally eliminated without return.
After almost 2 years, thread algae suddenly appeared - despite good values. This is probably a type of Derbesia algae. It was interesting for me to see how the products Vibrant and Flux RX behaved. Due to the existing phophate deficiency, we decided not to continue using Vibrant. Please be sure to follow the instructions for use. Since we are recommending products here, I have to call this advertising. Both products were bought by ourselves.
Now it had hit us. The red Montipora, which had grown so well, showed pale colours and the first dead areas, preferably at the edges. You search and search and often only late come to the last possibility, namely that it is a predator that is attacking this beautiful coral. The certainty was there, we have Montipora snails! Enjoy the video and the article, which also offers some advice on what you can do.
This article is about the so-called Brown Jelly - or Rapid Tissue Necrosis, the sudden tissue death in corals. Responsible for this is a ciliate known to us as Helicostoma notatum. However, this is a synonym for Porpostoma notatum! Causes and possible treatment methods for Rapid Tissue Necrosis = rapid tissue death
Unfortunately, the first action to destroy the glass lice did not really lead to success. Here we show you how to continue. This time the subject is Wurdemanni shrimps and a small nudibranch called Berghia, which likes glass lice.
Despite using dead rock, we now have the first glass lice in the aquarium after about 4 months (as of November). In addition, there are a few planaria, although the correct name is turbellaria. They were probably brought in with bought offshoots. In spite of all efforts to examine the corals, some of them managed to establish themselves in the 400 litre tank. We show how to deal with them, but also name animal enemies and their advantages and disadvantages.
Now you can see how the cyanobacteria are progressing. The first fish have now moved in, 1 Armatus coral guard, Neocirrhites armatus, 4 flag perch, Pseudanthias randalli and 2 arrow gobies, Nemateleotris decora followed a few days later by 2 Gramma loreto. And we are building a DIY aquarium net cover.
Of course, we are not immune to plagues. Immediately after the diatoms that are typical during the run-in, the whole thing quickly turned a rich red - we had cyanobacteria! First the bottom, a short time later the stones too. And it was quite an agile form, according to an examination by Mrutzek Meeresaquaristik. Here we show you the measures we took.
ReBiotic 100% Natural is a freeze-dried special bacteria mixture for restoring a stable bacterial environment in seawater. Gerd Guddat is a very active marine aquarist from NRW and has had good experiences with a new product called ReBiotic 100% Natural in relation to the decline of cyanobacteria. Read more in the article.
My experience with cyanos is that they are probably part of the biology in the tank, as are many other things! If they appear, something is wrong in the aquarium. Read more in the article.....
Already in 2010 - 8 years ago - we dealt with this topic in detail. Now, 8 years later, we were once again confronted with the drug Mycosidol, which is supposed to help against cyanobacteria. We have now discussed this in detail in a video.

Turbelallaria are often mistakenly called planaria. Hardly any reef aquarist is immune to them. We now give you some ideas on how to get rid of them. By veterinarian Harald Mülder, Robert Baur-Kruppas and Daniel Knop First publication: Koralle magazine
