Re: Newb's 72g Reef

first off, your tank looks great.

next. Don't do lettuce, it gives your fish the runs. You will have a cloud of unlike anything you have ever seen. yuck.

Go with nori

yeah, it really is gross. romaine lettuce makes it the worst. broccoli is also bad as far as goes.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

Here is my frag farm. I cut the inside of a lid of a tupperware container out and superglued in mesh instead, so light and water flow can get through. When I frag things, I put the pieces in the container with the lid on. Once they've attached themselves to the live rock rubble, I take the lid off and let them go until they've spread all over the rocks. The tupperware keeps them from spreading places I don't want them to.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

And heres my new Mandarin *fingers crossed* Im sure i have enough in my tank for him to eat, plenty of pods and creapy crawlies. I also have hundereds if not thousands of baby brittle stars, im not sure if he'll those or not, anyone know? He was lookin pretty thin in the LFS's tank so i thought i's give him a go in my tank and he's been all over it pickin at the rock and now looks like he's got a full belly.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

If that's not an asterina than I have no idea.

Good luck with the mandarin.They don't eat small brittle stars.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

Looks like an asterina to me. Maybe just a big one.

it's possible that it is but i've only ever seen it with 5 legs and never seen an indication of it splitting like the other Asterina's in my tank. I'll be watchin it closely.
