Well, I do have planty off food in there, now, but I'm just seeking into it. How do i buy a mini brittle? Who carried them? Most are host under refugium, but my refugium doesn't have any.

Another thing to consider is how much does your salinity fluctuate in one day (due to evaporation)? Even mini brittles will not do well if your salinity varies by more than 0.002 each day or they are in an area of the tank that gets your freshwater top-off water.
There are a couple of websites on-line that sell mini-brittles.

Brian,
This is a little off thread, but I just checked out your project over at Talking Reef. Wow! This is going to be quite amazing. I am curious as to what you have budgeted for the entire system.
Ditto on the salinity sensitivity. Most stars are very sensitive to both changes in salinity and in pH.

Well, the beauty of the system is that it is distributed, I have several other people willing to hold livestock for me.
I will be redoing my current tank setup into about 90-100 total gallons with some custom made sumps and holding containers that are submerged in the sump (for better water stability). This small system in itself should hold enough stuff short term, but once it gets larger than that I have access to around 3,000 gallons of other tanks to hold stuff.
When we move to our next house my wife has agreed to let me have a large fish room (at least 10' x 15') that will have a lot more room for things, especially breeding setups. I'm guessing when we get to that point it will be a few thousand dollars to setup the room properly since I won't be going for a large tank, just many small ones.

Okay, I did some research and everything looks good, but thought I would ask to make sure.
Have there been any anomalies in which a Nassarious snail eats, lets say, a coral or clam (Or continuously bothers it)?
And where would the best place be to buy them, minus the obsoletas (going on Brians advice).
Thanks,
Vishboy

My Nassarious snails have never bothered anything but the algea, though they have occasionally been victims of the hermit crabs I used to keep.

If you have a true Nassarius snail (of which there are many species) it won't bother any healthy animals.
