Serps: Our Serpent Starfish

Here are some videos of our Serpent Starfish (ophiura ophiura) eating and being active.

Here he falls down, looking a bit human-like, quite an amazing little creature.

Added the first livestock

First Livestock

The day after we added our live rock the tank was ready for the livestock. An important thing to note is that we added our superbac (live bacteria) the night before we added the livestock. The bacteria is added to help the nitrogen process start faster and it made things move along much faster. We saw the presence of nitrate within 3 days which is very fast. Usually it will take 3-6 weeks for the nitrate to show up in a new tank.

Our first livestock inhabitants: 1 yellow wrasse, 1 damselfish, 1 serpent starfish and 2 hermit crabs.

Added our Live Rock

Live Rock

Within a few days of adding the substrate and salt water the tank cleared up and was ready for the live rock. We started off by adding about 25 lbs of live rock into our 38 gallon tank. Within hours we saw the rocks come to life as growth started to appear and sprout throughout the rock.

Cheers!

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy summer!

Filling up the new aquarium

Setting up the fish tank

The next step to setting up our reef tank was rinsing the coral sand thoroughly, adding it to the tank and mixing up batches of salt water. We used Instant Ocean salt mixed with conditioned tap water and added it pail by pail to the tank.

Setting up the new fish aquarium

Setting up the fish aquarium

We decided it was time to fulfill one of our life goals: setting up our first ever salt water reef tank. It all started by setting up the new 38 gallon tank on top of our new aquarium stand.
