We picked up a studio 12 to rehome the leather and have a nice, easy, lower flow tank. The current plans are to get the gfci, inkbird & heater, tank full of rodi water, make sure it doesn’t leak, add Red Sea blu bucket, then let it mix. Add the ocean direct and life rock, add some fresh and some seasoned biomedia (MP gems), add a teaspoon of Life Source mud, .5ml nopox, and let it cook a few days. Next will be pods, phytoplankton, a seachem ammonia badge, a bunch of softies from the SPS tank, and begin searching for inverts, fish, and coral. The light only go on with the addition of coral. We’ll update with photos as it proceeds. If you want to follow the details (including livestock) https://www.aquaticlog.com/aquariums/shieldspj/3/ Free plug for aquatic log. Easily the best tank journal. I’m super poor (government disability pension) and I gleefully get the pro. But everyone that logs anything (chemistry/biology/livestock) you can track whatever minutiae, or big picture it. I love it, and the free version does all the vital parts. But if you run an apex, and feel the built in trackin is lacking the upgrade may well be worth it. I like that it pulls my trident info. It lets me share the intimate details of my tank.

I recently got a coco worm (Protula bispiralis) from my LFS. They convinced me that it’s easy to care for them and so I bought it. After doing more research I realized I really shouldn’t have bought it, as my tank is new and I’m relatively inexperienced. I’m wondering if any of you have experience caring for coco worms, specifically protula bispiralis, and if so, could you let me know? If you know anyone else who has cared for them, could you tag them in this post? I’d love to have a few people that I could contact and ask if (and when) I run into problems with my worm. My care regiment for it it has been feeding two or three times a week with either reef roids or two little fishies marine snow. I do weekly water changes, sometimes bi weekly. It seemed pretty happy for the first few days I had it, but now I find that it’s retracted about ~50% of the time that I see it (it’s possible that it’s out much more often than that, I’m just basing that number on when I walk by/look at the tank).
