How to Find and Kill Evil Hitchhikers

[Pier Pressure]

I am using two different test kits for the ammonia/nitrite thing, one is just about brand new, and they are reading nothing. The highest reading of those I got was after I found the dead fish and shrimp and then nitrite and nitrate was 0.3 so just above trace. Since then nothing. Salinity, PH, everything exact same that night as it was the next day and remaining steady.

I have to pick up a red lensed light this weekend and check out some night viewing. Where would a person get one of those?

After staring at the tank tonight until I am just about blind, I know for sure I have at least one of those gross bristle worm things. Red, about two inches long. Kinda looks like a centipede.

I am going to try the old bottle capture trick tonight and see what I come up with.

dunl, what DOES cause puffy gills? Any ideas?

This is a great site. Lots of support and lots of interest. Thank you!
