Hi All,
I have a 1 month old Fluval 13.5g. Last night I saw my first bristle worm and tonight I am seeing the start of what I think might be vermetid on my rocks. In my short bit of reading on vermetids (and being thoroughly creeped out by the bristle worm), I'm starting to get the urge to tear down my tank, bleach the heck out of everything, and start over with new dry sand and dry rock.
I started with dry sand, but live rock from my local LFS and premix saltwater also from my LFS. Currently, my tank has 2 baby clownfish and a recently deceased turbo snail (that my new bristleworm friend is enjoying). Everything in my tank is still stock, except for an upgraded pump (Sicce Syncra Silent 0.5), hygger 100W heater, and a aquarium filter sponge over one of the two output nozzles (the babies seemed to be struggling to swim in the current).
Can someone tell me that it's going to be okay? Or even tell me that it is a great idea to tear down and start over?
