    Lots of miniature starfish

    I seem to find that they move onto the glass when the lights are out overnight and you can pick them out with a tweezer. I did find they liked to eat my star polyps.

    Taking a fish on an airplane ... no go.

    Actually I asked a friend of mine who used to work for one of the air carriers and the short answer is, not a good idea to take a fish and put them in with your checked in luggage. There is always a chance that your luggage will be stored in the non-pressurized area of the cargo hold of the...

    Where to put corals when introducing new RBTA

    I agree, not sure if putting a RBTA in a 55 gallon tank is a good idea. I personally never had luck with them as they would wonder around the tank and would eventually get stuck in my power heads.

    Water Changes

    As long as you have to room to store a couple 50 gallon containers that would be the way to go. Although in my opinion 15-20 gallons every other week water change may not be necassary. I usually do about 20% every month and that seems to work well. If you are doing 40 gallons a month that is...

    RO/DI - Ebay

    Got mine from Filter direct on ebay and for the price, it is a good unit. There are some people on other sites that do not recommend these uniits, but I never had any issues with them. TDS was always at or near 0.
