I never had a starfish, but then I noticed the one on the shelf...lol. I have always been religious with my water changes. The most the tank goes without a water change is 2 days later than the every 2 wks. I hate water changes but it is the only way to maintain an aquarium be it reef, fo, FW, or brackish.

The hair algae isn't a horrible situation, it's in small parts in the tank but I want it gone before it becomes a huge problem.
