    Yeah. We were about to get the skimmer and return pump for the 29 (we already had glass to build the sump), then Dad asked me if I wanted do do a 75g tank instead. hahah. Guess what I said?

    this starfish is fine in your tank. i agree with an earlier post though, dont put them in to early as they just wont find enough to eat. id say about 6 months after you first introduce fish. you really dont want to feed any invertabrates so wait the required time. and make sure that you dont have any sudden changes in salinity or temperature when making water changes. water that you add should be heated, circulated and mixed in a consistent manner

    I have an orange lankia who is very small in a bc29. He is doing fine, but he is only a little bit bigger then a quarter.
