I had a red general star do the same thing....refusing food but he was still getting around ok. He eventually deteriorated two arms and went behind the rocks to aparrently die. He didn't move for days. I had to sadly take him out of his misery. Ophiura probably hit the nail on the head with my...

Well he is loosing the arm that changed colors on him. I understand they can regenerate limbs, but if this is from shock will this still happen, or will he even survive? I am going to be raising the s.g. by topping off with salt water 'till it hits the mark I'm looking for. Hopefully this will...

I'll bump the salinity up. Do you think he will recover?

Drip method, If I remember right @2 1/2 hours. Phosphates 0 Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 20 pH 8.2 s.g. 1.024 temp.@82 deg F Is the temp. too high? I am looking into getting a chiller. I am worried about the temp getting too high. I think it will help when I get my lights a little more elevated...

I have a 150g FOWLR and have a recently new Red General Star that is refusing to eat. I fed him scallop when I first got him @ 3 weeks ago and he ate fine then. I tried feeding him a few days later and he refused a scallop so I gave him a piece of shrimp and he ate that ok. Now, the past week...

You are lucky. 110 volt home electricity will kill easier than any other voltage. It only takes 1/2 an amp to take you out. Definately make sure you use a GFCI any time you are dealing with water and electricity.

I got my new Oceanic 150g picked out and will be getting it soon. I decided to pick up a 55g to use for my sump/fuge and built it last night. It has a chamber on the left for my Berlin turbo protein skimmer. The first baffle after the skimmer has a tray to place a bag of carbon when needed. A...

Thanks, I will consider the crate, but what about the thickness of the glass? Anybody?

I am getting a 135g soon and will be putting @200# of LR and @a 3-4" sand bed. The guy at my lfs said some people put the LR on a piece of egg crate to keep it off the glass and in case any of it falls over it would not be as prone to break the glass. Is the egg crate a big no-no? Will it be a...

Hi everyone, This place is a wealth of info. I have been reading my butt off, but I still have a question. I setup my first SW 30g FO last year to get the feel for the hobby. I am just using a hang on mechanical filter, and recently added a hang on protien skimmer. 40lbs. of lr. 1- Spotted...
