How big is that clam? Good luck on the crinoid. I hope you get some expert advice on that.

And I'm still not happy with it haha. Over the next couple days I'll really be tweaking it to its final settings

The clam is about the size of a football, he takes up half the tank, and squirts water out of the side nightly

Water chemistry update, aka alkalinity battle:
Mag 1400
Cal 400
Alk 7
Can't exactly complain but I am dosing 10ml of part b a day to keep up with the clam. Like I said, I'd like to be up in the 8.5-9 area

That thing is BA! I'm very interested in seeing how this guys gonna look.That is my new (hopefully successful) crinoid feather star. looking for all kinds of different small particle foods.
Currently have:
Aqua-Tech Azoox which seems to get a fair response
Gonipower which I will be trying tonight
I also have Rods Food original, but will be looking for a smaller micro frozen food.
These guys are noctournal feeders, and from what I have read, should be target fed once they fan open their arms.
This is my first attempt at keeping one, and I've also read that this color happens to be the hardest to keep. Here's a couple more pics I took this morning. (He went in last night, so seeing him this morning in the same position was my first sigh of relief on this long experiment)

So a little update on this guy.
Couple nights ago he took a trip into a powerhead and got quite the haircut.
He's loving the gonipower, but my small 25gallon cannot keep up with the frequency of the feedings. So sadly this guy will go back to the store with the other 2 that came in with him.
For the record, if I had a 75+ tank with a bit more access to reactors and such, this creature might be able to be kept on gonipower.
If anyone near me would like to try their luck, I'll gladly pass him on along with a full container of gonipower. The clam is the main focus of the tank, and I'm in a losing battle feeding the crinoid 4+ times a day

Made a brine shrimp feeder just like @Paul_B. Don't have a pair of mandarin but I do want my one to be fat and happy
I used ro tubing and a tetra softnet

The brine shrimp can fit through those holes? Are they baby brine?

They can and they do haha. It was the smallest we had in the store. Brine shrimp nets coming soon

My snag from the Osras show yesterday
OP
OP
Sadly I still haven't changed them from the last settings I posted. Haven't quite had the time to sit and play around.
I did however add a couple more creatures. Pair of bangaii cardinals and a bonded pair of antenna gobies with a tiger pistol shrimp
Also picked up this really neat sea star.

I would put something over your powerheads with the seastar. Everyone I've ever had forced it's way inside my powerhead somehow. They all have strange dietary requirements.

I've actually done very well with the stars. I have a nardoa frianti going on year 3 for me. This looks to be a linkia though so we will see how it goes.

Well you're doing good then. How do you like your ghost skimmer? I'm thinking of getting one for my frogfish tank. They're so expensive though, as much as a Tunze.
