I like! Can't wait to have one of my own! So what kind of corals do you keep in it?

awesome looking tank. really good set up. in regards to the star, dont be discouraged. if that is an orange linkia, i know they are one of the hardiest stars in the hobby, if not the hardiest. if they run out of algae, which would be rare, they have plenty to scanvenge on. who knows, old mysis shrimp, pellets, detritus whatever. they are delicate but i think with propper water perameters you will enjoy him for a long time. im not arguing anyone, i just think he has one of the easiest stars to care for. but anyway, looks really good!

Yeah, he has been "fine" for 3-4 months... it will only take him around 4 more months to die of starvation, because stars can not survive with such a scarce amount of rock. People say that stars need at least 100 pounds of live rock to do well, but IMO, that Is way to little still, even if it were a linkia, which it is not.
However, I do like the selection of corals that you have chosen for your aquarium, it brings out your purple firefish well.
I just think that you should be worried about the star for NOW, not later, like you have seemed to suggested.

first off as far as it goes that is not a linkia. second what are you talking about. linkias need 2+ hour aklimation and are very sensative to water paremiters. it will take 6 months to starve. Plus they dont feed on mysis. They are not hardy with high mortality rate. plz do the research before answering.

It is skimmer less, i have a fluval 304 on it, whisper 60 fliter filled with live rock and reef carbon, a power head and lots of hermits/snails. As for the linka, i am trading it to a buddy for a couple frags. I thank you for your advice. I do a 2 gallon water change every other week and its been stable so far.
