I'll try to get an updated picture tonight or this weekend, but nothing huge has changed. I moved the two rocks with caluerpa into my 20 and brought some of the rock from the 20 into this tank, added some substrate, changed out the powerheads, added a heater, juiced the aiptasia, did some water changes and fw top offs (its been SO dry here lately)...think thats about it. The only 'stock' that is in there is that little starfish guy and a snail (haven't seen either of them lately but I'm sure they're in there). My plan is still to eventually find or build a sump that will fit under my stand so that I can get the equipment out of the tank and expand a little bit...but that hasn't happened yet. I might pick up some more live rock...there is about 25 lbs in there right now, what do you think? Another 5 or 10 lbs? If I do that then yes, I will not get anything for the tank until it cycles those pieces too.
I still haven't decided on what I want as far as stock goes, but I decided that I want GSP. I don't want any other corals, those are fine. So please tell me anything you know about them/it.
Could I keep green star polyps in my 29? With the lights I have?
Someone mentioned that my lil astarina star will eat zoos...if those lil stars eat zoas will they eat GSP?
Are any of the mainstream fish or inverts known for eating GSP?
Edit: I've also never had corals of any kind...do I want to add them before or after I've added some kind of stock? Or while the tank is cycling? Or ?? when in the process of setup should I do it?
