What are the numbers?

Lack of food or something else taking up the same space would be my guesses. My astrina wax and wane in numbers and I wonder if my brittle stars are better at occupying the same space causing astrina numbers to decline. There must be pounds of brittles in my tank.

I am interested in hearing about the research as well!

Such a beautiful fish in whiter lighting.

I will need to check it out. Have not been since new ownership and over a year ish. Dublin is very close to me in Livermore.

Looking really good!

Haha yeah I don’t know if they clean the shells either. Include me in the @PjFish group buy!

Inverted Reef sells quarantined clean up crew. Keep in mind that the prices reflect their time and effort.

I love urchin and emerald crabs. I have 4-6 urchin in 75g. 2 bigger pincushions and 2-4 small tuxedo. In my experience Pincushions are workhorses while tuxedo get in tighter spots. The emerald can reach into tough spots and into stony corals. Have never tried pitho or seahair. I imagine I will...

Man if fresh water sourced foods are undesirable that mean most mysis brands. I believe Hikari sources theirs from salty water.

Is there a way to determine which frozen foods are considered "lower quality"?

No sand. only kidding. I miss the sand animals but not the sand itself. Glad to hear you are ready to start up again!

Agree on the color but do really like the cord itself. A lot less rigid than others.

I don't see the tunze powerhead wire. I thought that was what @Kensington Reefer was looking at. Everything looks buttoned up so nice!

Frozen Hikari: spirunlina brine, mysis and jumbo mysis. Refrigerated Reef Nutrition: Real Ocean Eggs. Lots of various dry foods also. All these daily except ROE.
