Try Google Linckia Starfish..

Cheers..

Hey guys, thanks for your replies to my starfish question. According to what i have read, this starfish(probably Linckia Star) might not be suitable for a nano. it requires a big and mature system to support its microbes needs. It is a very delicate creature which cannot tolerate high nitrates levels and it prefers a high salinity of 1.026.

Sorry to say it jettaboi but chances are the starfish might not survive long..... But do continue to post about the health and progress of your tank and inhabitants.

Have u tested the tank's parimeter before adding in live stock?

Hi, i just did my water parameters check

The reading is as follows :

Ammonia - 0.50

No3 - 25mg/l

No2 - 0.5mg/l

Salinity - 1.022

Ph - 8.3

Temp is ard 30 deg at the sump there. So i think my main tank is ard 29 deg

Hope this help.. Its still under cycling rite?

Sorry bros that i put LS into my tank although it is still cycling..

[jettaboi]

Oh ya forget to add on.. The No2 and No3 i using sera test kit which i bought for my arowana tank.. Ammonia is from API

Connect one side of the outlet of the FR to the inlet of the second FR. You will need a stronger pump and valve to control the flow through it.

Pls advise thanks!

Nice tank bro, can you pm me where you got the tank? I noticed your slump on on the second level of the cabinet, just make sure the stand is able to withstand the weight. Enjoy.

[stevenkoh08]

I may have stop reefing (will be back soon) for awhile but nvr fail to read up and learn more and a hello to all reefer here

Seen you've already added in LS i will advise you to do WC every wk and the amount will be 10-20% of it at least to maintain a low No2 & Ammonia.

Do also try to lower your sg to 1.017-1.019 this will also help to prevent the LS from disease esp (WS)

If you can pls get rip of the Hammer or any coral first during this period, Cause anything go wrong LPS or softies will cause your water to foul easily.

Happy reefing

Hahaha.. i measured my salinty is at 1.020 - 1.019. i will be changing water once per wk to avoid bad water.. also, I cant find anyone whom can help me keep my LS for me during this period. =) Hope nothing wil go wrong. Will be taking note at the filtration and water parameters tightly.

[Guest]

Your electrical plug seem to be very close to the sump . Perhaps you can cover it up to prevent water splashing to it.

Yes, it could pose an electrical hazard.
