fish eating shrimp and once again too big of fish for that tank.. LOL....

cal, don't listen to anything that scott says.. he knows nothing.. he keeps large species of angels and foxfaces in a 20 gallon roflmao. Don't get a brittle, they're hit and miss... linkias require supplemental feeding and an established tank.

Originally Posted by usirchchris I've never had an RO unit for 15+ years, and no problems across multiple states and cities. I seriously don't get it, but If you need to spend 100+ to believe your water is clean go for it. I would try the tap first though . JMO. Do you keep corals? also...

Get a fuge or turf scrubber and quit using tap water to drop the nitrates and phosphates. get the salinity up to 1.025 and your starfish and the other inverts will thank you.

no.. man how many times are you gonna do this?

You can keep alot of stars in smaller tanks, but make sure they get supplemental feedings and realize that like any starfish, you're rolling dice.

make sure your tank parameters are stable and an lugol's dip wouldn't hurt before putting it in the tank. A yuma is probably the only softy that I'd acclimate. I'm actually looking at buying a $200 pink one so I feel your pain.. I'd be pretty distraught about losing it haha.

well it sounds like you got the diatom bloom.. just do another test and start stocking slowly...

rock, sand, flow, turf scrubber, carbon, rowaphos... done.

This poll has to be a joke... I'd like to know for the people that voted tap how long they've been keeping tanks and their success lol..

thats expensive.. eek.. I get mad when I have to pay 20cents a gallon lol.

Originally Posted by DoggiePuffer Mine tank runs at 80 degrees, everything seems happier with it running at a higher temp, but some fish and inverts like cooler water so it also depends on what you have in your tank. definitely a good post right there.. I've had a reef that ran at 85F for...
