heres some pics. I have a 10 pack of them that is pending, but I probably have some more in my breeding tank I can sell. They are $5/star. pm me if you'd like some. I also have a softy pack for a really good deal if you are looking to add some easy coral.

Gotta brag on my algae bloom that’s taken over my tank!! Got a decent case of ugly tank syndrome right now but I’m embracing it and can’t wait for it to clear up and add more livestock!

Does anyone have any tips on seeding my refugium with some healthy copapods or other critters that will help with my algae issue? My nitrates aren't high but typically ride around 10ppm and my phosphates are consistantly at .25ppm...

Those parameters seem pretty good if they are steady tbh.

They have been. I have a little bag of chemipure elite in my sump, but I’m sure it’s about exhausted by now. They’re holding steady since I’ve gotten it set up. The previous owner said he never tested it regularly.

I used IPSF.com to add extra worms, pods and ministars when I started my tank. I recommend them for a good variety.


They have some excellent YouTube videos of their critters too

Added a veeeeery small CUC. 4 hermit crabs and 4 turbo snails as well as the preexisting urchin... would be 5 and 5 but a couple seem to have gone into hibernation or croaked already. Glass is looking better already and are a couple of pieces of rock!

Hopefully just curious and not getting the munchies! I'm not sure if they will go for hardshell invertebrates. Not 100% sure on that though.
I haven’t come across anything saying they will go for hard-shelled anything. But the longer I have this guy, the more I realize he’s pretty curious... I fee like he’d probably throw up the hard shelled whatever if he did swallow it.

This guy is wedging itself into a corner...

Wonder if I should move him or let him get himself out? I feel like it’s really stretched where it is and probably won’t end well if I don’t...

Also, bought some FluxRx thinking I could use it, till I read the back. Can’t use it with a refugium... I have a refugium. Kinda ticked...

Well, I got rid of the predator aspect of my tank. We’re going reef for sure now! Got these two beautiful black clowns and this really nice foxface today in Lubbock.

Planning ahead, what’s the suggested wait time for adding more fish and an anemone to the tank? Also, is there a clown guide? I want to add more clowns to the mix and I know they’re territorial and slightly aggressive so I wanna do it the right way, if there is one..
