My 3ft Build Log

I didn't think to ask if that bristle worm is safe? Could it eat my baby turbo snails, starfish and even my smaller fish? Should I get rid of it stat?

I painted the frame and will install it tomorrow. I quite like the plain tank look but would rather have a little protection of the edges. Will see how it looks..

The bristleworm is fine. You might want to manually remove that bubble algae though.

I suggest a Green Emerald Crab or two for the Bubble algae

tada!

Just picked up a royal dottieback today as well. It's very happy but I just noticed some furry bits around it's mouth that were not there earlier. Do you think it might have tried to bite a bristle worm or something? I guess I'll see if the bits are still there tomorrow but if so no idea what to do about it.. My camera can't quite capture it..

If it is only a bit I'd manually remove it instead. It is not that hard to do.

I'll quarantine my next fish, wasn't too worried about the damsel and the dottyback was at the lfs for 3 weeks but yeah not ideal. I found a local seller that apparently has his stock in quarantine before sale so am going to check out his operation too..

Oh most of the bristles have come out of it's mouth area, hopefully a lesson was learned to avoid bristle worms..

Well I gotta admit, your 'stoopid trim'.. actually looks very nice! Kudos on a very nice setup.

Still going strong. Water readings are perfect, added a small flame angel and 6line wrasse. The fish look very happy, the new fish have been in for just over a week.
