Hey, I've kept SW tanks before, I know the ins and outs. That's not to say I won't have the usual difficulties, but those are the things I take in stride. I know better than to put a starfish in a tank to eat algae, as one of my friends is hell-bent on believing. I told her starfish are carnivores and she might want to give the poor skinny thing a piece of krill or mussle now and again, but she claims if she feeds it meats it won't eat the algae. I can't wait until it devours her terbo snails. And boy is her tank never water changed, never topped off, never cleaned. She thinks the thing takes care of itself and wonders why her clown has pop-eye. I don't bother trying, the wasted breath is better used elsewhere.
