Update: It's been 8 almost 9 months and the starfish is still doing well!

I would say neither. The Victorian era ended 1901 and the Romantic era was before then. By the time he was around and thinking ... maybe something like realism? I don't know, I'd keep looking elsewhere than the two you mentioned.

My local lfs has lots of individual QT tanks. They use the tanks for qt'ing their new fish, but sometimes they babysit fish, or let you use one for some time. I don't know how expensive they are.

I have a RTBA, it looks great. Nice color, it's grown in size in my tank. My pH 8.2-8.3, sg 1.026, NH3=0, phos=0, trates 20ish. I've had it around 8 months. Today I saw one of the tentacles come off. I see no signs of injury. It looks normal. The mouth is normal, the foot looks normal...

Do you have difficulty with just the sump noise or the overflow noise? I finally got mine to quiet down by putting in a dorso standpipe, keeping the sump pretty full of water, none of my tubes or pipes touch the sides.

Mine doesn't touch my corals (I'm mostly a FOWLR with very few hardy corals), but I couldn't imagine him NOT touching a clam. YUMMY!!!

I replaced the short one that came with my unit with 25ft of icemaker tubing. It was the same size tube and only cost a dollar or two. Take a small clipping of it to home depot/lowes/ace hardware and find someone to ask.

I too use my waste water for doing the laundry.

Well, I did get the starfish shortly after this last post. I'm happy to say he still looks good and appears to be doing well. I know that the true mark of survival is a year, but I'm still happy that he's hanging out on the glass in plain view.

Well, I asked the lfs guy (who also happens to be a friend) what he thought of it. Apparently he's selling his 125g tank for around the same price. He has another tank that is a MONSTER in his living room that he's keeping. Now this is a tank that I've seen up and running, so I would be much...

I would definately not pay until merchandise is seen & proves to work. Now I just got to decide if I want to fork over the money for a second tank.

Oh how adorable!!!!

Cool site. It's prolifera. My pipefish LOVES it.

I don't pay too much attention to exact proportions. It all depends on what my local store has. I use a little freshly made saltwater to help it blend. I do look a bit weird asking for 3 clams, 4 shrimp, 1/4 lb of fish ...
