thanks :) I've had him 2 weeks and he seems ok! I've heard they are hard to keep too but I couldn't resist!

Currently, I have two black percula clowns, two green gobys, one sand sifting conch, a collection of snails and crabs and a blue linckia sea star! As well as blue mushroom and leather toadstool corals. Here is some pictures.

M in the process of setting up a new salt water aquarium and so I am using this tread to post updates. So here's the tank :) Aquascape

He looks cool :) how long have you had ringo?

Kessler you in the USA? Kessil is hard to get in UK. It's double the price :/

Haha they are amazing - get one! :) if you are serious about a sea star let the tank grow a little first to ensure he has food :) I use aquaray mini hd 500 led lighting. It's perfect for my tank and when I have a little more money I will buy the controller. This will allow me to have storms...

Yes they are meant to be a bit of a pain to keep but seems like fun :) I need to learn what's best to supplement his diet

It was £23 so not much in my opinion. Yes I heard they are hard but a project sounds good :)

Thanks! he's fascinating to watch! He squeezes into the most tiny spaces between my LR! He seems to be happy but any advise is welcome :)

I just got a blue sea star and he is amazing! So I was just wondering if anyone had any advise? Many thanks

Anyone?

I agree with feeding. If its kept fed it will be less likely to damage other life in tank. My tank has only been going a few months but I don't have many corals and I'd rather get the anemone in, let it roam and settle before I look at other corals. I think a lot of people mix the words...

Yes, David Saxby once said a marine aquarist doesn't keep fish, they keep water. If the water quality is good, animals will love to live in it. This is the moto I try to live by. My water is fairly consistent and I am happy an anemone would live happily. Ive read about clowns not needing...

Have a 100lt saltwater aquarium the I am slowly building and I have a pair if black clowns. Of course Id love an anemone in the aquarium for the clowns but I feel the tank is too small and it may kill other corals that I put in later. I know clowns will host almost anything but in your opinion...

I have found that the best "lid" for a saltwater aquarium is aquarium safe egg crate. Egg crate is a plastic grid like sheet that can keep fish in by sitting on top of your aquarium but interferes little with gas exchange/lighting. Another reason to use egg crate is the price. You can buy on...

That's so cool :) i wish our lfs had displays like that!!

That's what I thought! I couldn't work it out! Thanks for your responses

Hello You should go through a spike in each one in order. Firstly ammonia should have a reading and nitrites and nitrates should be at 0ppm (like your reading.) Ammonia is the most dangerous part of cycle. Then ammonia should come back to 0ppm as bacteria changes it to nitrite. At this...

I used normal garden secateurs and it cut really easily. I was able to cut out for lighting, filter and pipe work with no hassle. I didn't fix to top a I didn't want to hinder access to tank, however I don't have an inquizative kitty!

Hello I apologise if this seems like a daft question but I am hoping someone can enlighten me. Your help is appreciated. I am currently looking at new lighting for my reef; an upgrade to more programmable lighting. I love the idea of sunrises, sunsets and moon lighting but there is one topic...

I agree with this. I have one and although know they have toxins they won't cause much harm. Different zoas have different toxins and some you have to worry about but generally the ones youll find at lfs are unlikely to cause much harm. A good lfs should explain the way to handle each coral.

I put cheato in an old hang on back filter in place of the media and used it as a refugium. This way the macro algae gets to work without taking over your tank.

Light is not really an issue for feather duster. It is dependent on catching plankton to eat. Supplemental feeding of phytoplankton and liquid organic foods should be provided. It also may be an idea to wait a little while to ensure there is stuff in the aquarium for it to eat! I have a...

Nobody has experience with them?

Ok :) the bb will build up quickly and the outputs should give nice movement. How big is the tank?
