Asterina star. Up to you. I don't like them. They breed prolifically in most tanks and become pests. I would remove it ASAP. Many people like them though and consider them detritovores, which they are, but they just grow in significant numbers and there are no natural predators that you would normally have (you can rent aharlequin shrimp from LFS maybe).

11 Months today
Hi All,
Well my tank is now 11 months old. It sure has changed a lot from day one.
Just added a couple upgrades a little time patience and a couple of dollars.
I sure think it was worth effort.

Homer I have had my mini max for three weeks and it has not moved from the spot it pick the first day. From what I have read once they pick a spot they
stay put. (I hope).....

Looking great, and the anemone is beautiful. I'm glad it's staying put. Just make sure not to alter flow or lighting too much to provoke it moving.
At this point, even if I wanted one, I don't have the room. I'm basically wall to wall corals right now, and need to trim back some A. Formosa that's growing into another coral as is. But I'm glad yours is doing well, and it's beautiful!

lol cute site (though I always feel :-/ when going to a *.ru site). I hear they only grow appropriately to the size tank you put them in, so I think you're good :bounce3:

BFS mini Carbon/GFO reactor
BFS mini Carbon/GFO reactor
Hi All,
Have a question, Friday is water change day and I also changed
the GFO and Carbon in my reactor. When changing the reactor I made sure
it was CLEAN. Well after starting the reactor back up it is not totaling filling
with water?!?!. The filter in the pump is clean. What am I missing?
It is a BRS mini reactor.

Does it have to be tilted, i.e. the output hole is actually a bit under the lid of the reactor, so an air bubble stays? Have you tried tilting it around while it's running? Sorry I can't be more help, I don't have the BRS reactor, just trying to think of common/simple explanations.
Happy Water Change day!

Well my BC29 is one year old today. It sure has been a learning experience for me.
I was into saltwater some twenty years ago. That was when you cycled your
tank with a fish and I guessed at the parameters. If it was not for
Reef Central and all the helpful folks here I would not have made it this far.
Thanks .

That one year shot looks really awesome!
I went back and found your thread because I wanted to let you know that there's a neat article on sun coral propagation and spawning events in home aquariums in this months Coral Magazine. Super cool, and I can't wait until you post pictures/tell stories of how you're finding the little yellow/orange/black balls of new sun polyps floating around.
