Rubicon06
Would I be crazy to setup a Nano for 1 say, 5-10g.

I figured the dying/eaten starfish legs would raise some levels, so I'm not sure it could be done safely...

Any thoughts? or has anyone tried this?

You could do it, since they only need a starfish leg every 1-2 weeks. When I have a 120 gallon I'm going to get like 3 fromia starfish and cycle their legs for my harlequins I'm planning in my Biocube 29 >:)

Hahaha! A starfish harvest... I've heard that the regenerative abilities of starfish aren't as good in captivity and that the result is often infection and death. Any word on how to get past that?

Rubicon, too bad I just pulled out like 30 asterina's from my tank tongue.gif
