Tom@HaslettMI's 2012 pico

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Have you fed him yet? I know they eat echinoderm feet like Harlequin shrimp but they don't depend on them to survive like the Harles do, so do you have to train them to eat frozen food like a mandarin or will they take whatever you feed them?

I have hear the same about their feeding habits. I assume he's eating, but have not witnessed it yet. There are asterina stars and mini brittle stars in there, and I feed a pellet or two or a mysis to the tank each day. I also believe I read that they're tend to be nocturnal.

I tallied up the current cost of corals for the pico. Now if I could only figure out how to post an EXCEL table... Could someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,

Insert the Table tags (spreadsheet symbol first icon/3rd row) and paste your table inbetween the tags.

Thanks CSQ!

Other news...

Made a slight error when resetting the timer for daylight saving "spring ahead" and managed to delete the "off" setting. It only took me a week to figure out why the tank was an algae filled mess... The timer has been reprogrammed and the algae is subsiding. I'll post some pics once the algae is a little more under control.

The bumblebee shrimp is becoming more brave and venturing out from under the rock. I even managed to "hand feed" it some mysis with forceps this evening. So far it has not been dining on the asterina stars... at least not that I can tell.

Very impressive...I did a quick calculation and your tank is stocked at a level of $850/cubic foot!

That's too funny. It certainly doesn't feel like it's that fancy.

Packed? No way more, more, more! Pictures.... yes you're right about that. As soon as the algae bloom has subsided a bit more I will post pics. I'm guessing by next week it will be ready.

Not all the pics need to be glamour shots. The contest is about building a nano...documenting the good and the bad and providing tips along the way. I think more reefers will be helped by posting about the problems and how you deal with solving them than just a bunch of look how great my tank is shots.

Good point. But if you only knew how bad it was. I was worried that people's computer monitors would crack from the fugliness going on in there. I contemplated just taking it down. Thankfully the cyano and other algae is clearing pretty quickly.

I'll try to take some pics tonight.

At $850/cubic foot, it can't be that bad!?!
