1 Pleco
1 Lamp Eye Tetra

I have a seething mass of reddish brown worms (at least I think they are
worms) in a piece of live rock down by the substrate.  Today a piece of
shrimp floated down to it and the tentacles all wrapped around the shrimp

I am in the process of moving my 48G to a 150G (60x24x25).  Below is a list

slowly bringing the iodine up.  Could I have over dosed or is this the sign

I hope someone can help me.  I have started a 10 gallon tank in Decembe
(about 6 1/2 months ago) and have not had any problems up until now. M

I've had this star for over 4 years but it disappeared about a week ago.
only yesterday did it reappear with one leg missing, then to my horror I
found it this morning out in front of the rock work (unusual for this unless
it was feeding time) and all its legs were gone. only ...

Thanks,
