choco star in the fuge?

[latazyo]

my wife likes chocolate chip stars...obviously not reef safe (Im sure you all have experienced the fact that spouses only like non reef safe things)

anyways, im gonna be setting up a visible fuge (nowhere near enough space under my stand) so I thought I could toss a chocolate chip in there

it seems that they eat meaty items so Im guessing the only bad thing would be that it would eat the pods

but then I got to thinking...its not like I have any fish that eat pods anyways, so who cares

so the 2 questions are:

1. do pods do anything else besides feeding fish like mandarins?

2. any other reason not to get a chocolate chip to put in the fuge? (remember how important it is to capitalize on opportunities to get items the spouse approves of/is interested in)

Tell her they are best suited in 100+ gallons of water volume. So you'll need at least a 75 gallon tank plus sump and fuge.

:lol: It worked for me. I didn't say 100 gallons but I did say "bigger than what we have now"

I said "This tank looks awful, everything's going to die."
Her "Why? I think it looks pretty good"
Me "Look at this algae right here, I can't get rid of it! There's just too much in this small of a tank"
Her "Well.........I don't want anything to die! Why don't you do a water change?"
Me "I did do a water change, it's just not helping. The flow is slowing down and stuff is settling at the bottom.....(a bunch of words that I knew she didn't know what they meant :lol:.)"
Her (puzzled look) "Jeff! Don't let anything die!"

Then I told her a few days later I was getting a bigger tank and at first it didn't go so well, but once it was in the process of being setup she loved it.

:lol:
