So no big deal? Mainly asking because I am putting in a new sump tomorrow and going from sand in my fuge to a bare bottom fuge. I can scrap the live rock that's in there and just keep the chaeto or keep the lr and put it in the new fuge. Also saw a flatworm in there last night.

You can leave it, or remove it. I've found them in my sump and display in the past. After having a Wrasse in my Display, i haven't seen one since. I do have small ones in my Biocube. They will eat left over food. I used to remove the bigger ones. Just be mindful when you remove rocks. You don't want those bristles in your fingers.

Yea I heard that it hurts to pick them up. I saw about 3 in there but all pretty small. Haven't seen any in the display. Thanks for the heads up! I always freak out when I see new things in there lol.

I've had mine for almost 3 years. Just a couple pieces of live rock in the fuge area. Filter sucks in the drain section. Skimmer, Heater, and a small pump for GFO and Carbon Reactor. That's it.

Sounds identical to my new one. Upgrading from a modded wet/dry to 10 gallon fuge/return to a 38 gallon three section. Upgrading my skimmer from bubble magus curve 5 to diablo xs 200. Taking it to the next level haha! 90 gallon tank, I have my mag 9.5 dialed down so I'm hopping to crank it up with the new sump. Current one couldn't handle it

Fun fun! I have a couple of tanks in the works. Get motivated, then other things come up that take my focus away. Lol

I hear ya! I was going to start another one but I want to have this one going for a couple of years before I pull the trigger. Do you run a controller on your tanks? I think that's what I'm going to invest in next.

Reefkeeper elite on the Display. Nothing on the Biocube. I also use an ip camera. Both are a must for me as i travel pretty much every week, and normally gone 5 of those days.

Nice, I like the reef keeper price but everything I keep reading points me to the apex especially the temp probes being out of whack. Was thinking about the apex lite or rk elite

I haven't had any real issues. Getting either of them connected to the net can be tiring.

Love thy worms. Just don't pet them :) They're good cleaner-uppers.
