PICKLED BRITTLE STARS

Cleaned a couple of powerheads this morning in a vinegar bath. I'm used to seeing a few mini-brittle stars in there but 32 of them! WTF do they do in there anyway?

Wow
I guess they get an easy meal in there

Hey! It's been a while since I posted anything on the tank. (have been very busy with this & that)
Not much has changed, except for the fact that I had to treat a red flatworm infestation yesterday. I siphoned out as many as I could and then used a half dose of Salifert Flatworm Exit. Suckers were dying within 15 minutes. There was easily 5x more of them than I thought. I scooped out literally thousands of dead ones that were swirling around in the water column. Via a Fluval 405, and 2x TLF reactors and 1x BRS reactor I ran about 5 lbs. of carbon. Even with this much carbon the corals and Nem showed distress almost immediately. Pretty scary there for awhile! It wasn't until early evening that some of them started to open up again. Everything looks ok this morning. I've never had to treat for flatworms before, should I leave the carbon running for a bit longer?

I would change some of the carbon and let it run for longer.

Ha! I just changed half of it 10 mins ago.
