True Hawaiians are much harder to get. Most are from Christmas.

 

[Ibn]

Yup, much pricier too due to that. Pretty happy with this one, especially at ~1.75".

Bossy little fish. Claimed the rocks the second it went in and swims around like it owns the tank.

 

[GreshamH]

I'm not so much a fan of true Hawaiians. They do have more red but the Christmas ones always seemed like a more solid fish in terms of over all tank hardness and how it keeps it color. The HI loose that deep red and get muddy fro what I have seen.

 

[Ibn]

Good to know.

Wasn't planning on picking up a flame angel, but after seeing the beefy one at Tyler's, I was sold.

 

[Ibn]

Hacked!

 

[GreshamH]

What for?

 

[Ibn]

Propping for more stars.

 

[Gomer]

good luck. Never seen it actually work in aquaria.

 

[Ibn]

Worked for a blue linkia so far. Hoping for the same results with this Fromia.

I don't think a leg will grow a new body will it? Body will grow a new leg.

i thought it needed part of the mouth as well. how else will it get nutrients?

Hey Eric,

does the dosing pump have a battery back up?

 

[Ibn]

It doesn't, Marc.

It's just AC powered. You can hook it up to a battery backup, but I don't think it's necessary, since it's only for dosing. You can skip a day or two of dosing easily.

mann i went through all 6 pages...very nice build Eric. Hows the Maxspect working for you? Im inbetween that and the Orphek fixture right now.

It doesn't, Marc.

So the battery back up only saves the schedule and dosing amounts right? Thats what I ment to ask....power goes out frequently at my place and would be a pain to set everything over and over again.

How odd the manufacturer doesn't have such details on their website

Some sea stars arms can actually grow a body. A very notorious one that can do this is the crown of thorns star.

 

[GreshamH]

COTs also thrive in nutrient laden water so I suspect they have another mechanism for obtaining nutrients that just orally

Any update on those stars?

How do you mount that BM holder?
