This: The Mustafa Method™

Oooh, the "petshrimp method"
Thanks, back on track...

If you refer to the mustapha method, what exactly are you referring to?

I like the tank, especially the substrate. Tha plants are plastic I suppose?
Will you add more opae or just the two of them?

Can't help with the moss ball issue though .

Possibly a noob question: Why are hair algae a bad thing?

Awesome! Nice picture and cool rock! How many opae did you start with one year ago?

I had the same issue. I set up my tank with 20L more or less RO/sea water mixture, and I added 2 L of water of an opae tank. I also added a rock from an opae tank with already some algae on it. Opae where added immediately (I knew cycling was important but I had no choice). Two weeks later they all ...

Took the sea star out but i didn't doo a water change. However they seem ok and are as bright red as before...

My advise is keep reading this forum;-). A lot of usefull information is given! As your tank is not cycled i would think it's best to add some macroalgae, but I'll let the experts confirm this and give you more advise..

The ecosphere sits next to my 12-gallon tank that is well-populated so their buddies are close by. I figure when there's only 1 left, I'll put it in the community tank.

Good or bad?

Haven't tested this yet, i don't have a kit at this moment. I need to get one but i will be traveling tomorrow and during the weekend, hope they make it...

Photo of the sea star: More bad news, until two days ago i saw quite some larvae when i flashed light on the tank. Today i see non, plus i found a dead one (see photo).
Any advice?

The legs of my seastar are coloring yellow and falling apart. Still ok to keep it in the tank or not?

It's been in the water for a few days, shrilps are still ok. The seastar was in my closet for several years so it was dry.. found it on a beach some years ago

Yes I did! I've been talking for days to someone i've met on a forum. We've been together to a store to buy everything and he gave me some of his stones and water from his tank (with the right bacteria and algae) and there were also some shrimps in there!
