  1. seriously .... tonight i was moving my gonio (rock base was about 2.5"), after lifting it off the sand bed, bristles started scrambling ... grabbed my long tweezers and got all of them. 4 of them 2-2.5" long, and 2 1", and another 3 baby ones (about 1cm). after my first posting here and, including this new catch, I've removed another ~30 .... is this really normal ? seems my tank is a good breeding ground for bristles ! I usually observe them when I turn of the wave, then they strat to come out, really creepy coz a lot ... but i haven't really seen them do any harm .... but still ... sigh ...

  2. what do you suspect? it was peaking around the rocks and the tank before I started using the glue? I am not saying it's the glue fault. Most probably it's my hindsight. Most people can safely place the glue almost immediately into the tank as they have buffer from the huge volume of water. I should have rinsed the glued pieces a few times before introducing back into the tank.

    that's my take. since the water volume is very low, even slight changes / add-ons may have a huge impact. such swings cannot be tolerated by certain LS. will be good if after rinsing, you also have a staging pail with tank water and just leave it there 10mins or so before adding to your tank.
