[nycbob]

bought a few shaving brush plants from this site. should be arriving tmo. my question is can i put it in my display tank w my sailfin and yellow tangs? will they eat them? do they reduce phosphate? not that i hv any. thanx.

Sweet... I was just looking at buying a few of those. I was also wondering the same thing. How many did you get, and how big are they...?

i ordered a pack of 5. it came w 6 tho. they r way bigger than i thought, ranging from 3-5 inches with solid trunks.

Im growing some in my tank...and they should do well with good lighting....however be careful if you have any marine-hermits....they will pull them out of the sand bed clean them and just throw them back when they are done....they can be re-planted but careful handeling them....plant them deep down so they stand up right but not to deep so there roots can grow....and dont worry if they shed some of there grass its very normal....and your fish may peck and eat off it but they wont eat the whole thing....however if they require greens in there diet I would monitor them to make sure they dont eat it all up....but they do help make your tank healthier...but the loose grass flowing allover and getting in the filter can be a mess...but its really easy to take care of....

plus how big is your tank....

yeah you should be fine....nothing big to worry about...just remember what I said and youll be great...oh and do you have them in there with live rock and coral and stuff....if so that will be a great looking reef tank...
