tHEcONCH Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 1. how do you stop the two power heads in the redsea max from makeing vibrating sounds this makes them quite noisey when running? 2. what setting on day one should the red sea maxs skimmers air intake knob be set at ? 3.what do i feed my zebra brittle starfish ? 1. The power heads can be quite noisy if the power chords chater against the trim that cover the channel across the top of the tank. Lift the hood and put you finger on each chord - if it quietens, you need to move the chord one way or the other so that it doesn't chatter. If it has no effect put your finger on each of the pumps - if it quietens, you need to make sure the nozzle holding it on is tight, and that the two pumps are perfectly upright - if they touch, they wil be noisy. They will also become quieter as the slime coat grows inside them (acts as a lubricant) 2. Most people I know have taken the grey knob right out - but if your skimmer cup fills with water you'll need to screw it down until the foamy bubbles stop just below the top of the cone in the removable cup 3. It will probably take any marine flesh - shrimps, fish, whatever - they'll even take freeze dried crickets - just don't overfeed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perren Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 RE THE STARFISH HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BE FEEDING HIM. THANKS PERREN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have never fed mine, and it's at least doubled in size!! It will scavenge and find enough to survive without needing to target fed it. ....and don't shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Start with once every three days or so - a piece of food as big as your little finger nail. If it isn't hungry it won't eat, in which case remove the food and wait another day. You will be able to see the food going in - it will appear as a lump on top of its 'head'. Once that is gone, it is hungry again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tHEcONCH Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Different species prefer different anemones, and they also like different anemones at different stages in the life (primarily to do with size, I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 also, tank bred clowns do not associate as readily with anemones as wild caught clowns- they don't know what they are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
