My Alife 7 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Awesome looking tank you got there. Just wondering... how big do those starfish get? Link to comment
Cam barr Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 rad tank yea how big do they get looks cool Link to comment
kryptonite Posted May 3, 2002 Author Share Posted May 3, 2002 I think that is about it for size on the star. Yes the xenia is in pretty strong current. They do not pulse much with the current like that. If you keep them in slower current and have good water parameters they will start pulsating and they will grow very fast. Mine grew from that rock up onto the glass in a matter of a week. I just have the current up for some red slime that I am treating right now. I'll turn it down later. Thanks for the positive feedback. Keep it coming. Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Very very nice... Lucky to have such a wonderful tank. What species of star is that? Looking good, keep us posted, gaber Link to comment
quiksilver5768 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hey...nice tank! Just wondering about your additives...what do you use? Looks like all kent there... Link to comment
tosi Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 like the rockwork. nice job. Your clown adopt anything as a host? as well what is coral bottom center to the right of the starfish? Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 tosi---i think the coral you are talking about is the anenome Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Doesn't look like any aneMone I have ever seen... gaber Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 the reason i say anenome is because on the section under inhabitants it says bta. that is the only thing in the tank that resembles a bta. i guess i could be wrong but im taking an educated guess. hey kryptonite could you clear this up for us? is that the nenome un the bottom center f your tank?

quiksilver5768 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Yea, it does look kind of weird for an anemone...but true...it does say BTA. And the closest thing to a BTA in the tank is that coral... Link to comment
cjm033 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 ive been told that hawkfish and shrimp cant cope with eachother is that true with your tank? have your shrimp been picked at or eatn yet? thanks,Chris:) Link to comment
Kryptonite123 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Sorry for being gone. Had to go to Arkansas to move my girlfriends grandmother down. Anyway, yes my hawkfish and shrimp get along fine together. Although I can't say the same for the ghost shrimp. And yes, that is the bta that all of you are refering to. It was bleached pretty bad when I got it but it is definately showing signs of improvement. It has even been recieving a bit of a tan lately (getting darker every day). I also added some polyps today. What kind of polyps you ask... I wish I knew. I was wondering if one of you could tell me. They are light green and the wierd thing about them is that they are just a wad of polyps. Polyps on the bottom, the sides, the top, all around. And it isn't attached to a rock of any sort. Just a wad of polyps. That is freaky to me. Well here is a pic of them. I also added a bicolor pseudicromis (SP?) today. That will definately be the last of my fish. I haven't got a pic of him yet but maybe tomorrow I'll get out the camera when the lights come on. I also had to move some rock around. I'll keep you posted. Thanks. Link to comment
