The rocks were changed around a bit more and then I came up with this:

Hi rockstar,
im a newbee and I just looked at your tank and thought it looked great. How long have you had it running?? How difficult have you found the SW experience?? Any info on how YOU got things started would be awesome.

thanks

[rockstarnsc83]

Thats only half of him. =)

[Skurvey Dog]

He ought to keep all of the uneaten food from decaying! Have you given him a name?

[rockstarnsc83]

[Skurvey Dog]

Beautiful, just perfect!! Great work on your tank!! Just started my bio 29G and hope that it turns out as great as yours is! Did you leave your filter cartridge in or take it out?
Props to you and your success!~

How would one acquire a bristle worm?

[sweetpea]

I know they come in ur rocks but I have never seen any place u could purchase them.

[rayme07]

I don't think you can purchase bristle worms.

[CarmieJo]

But if you belong to a club or local board you can usually find someone who will give you a few. Same with microstars.

[rockstarnsc83]

I wrote to sweetpea already, a place on ebay was selling them.

[sweetpea]

Do you know how to get to the place on ebay who is selling them? The one you have is awsome. I only have little ones. When you guys talk micro stars are you talking about the bitty baby ones that dont exactly have the form of a sand star but look like little guys. I forgot what they were also called byut I have em.

[CarmieJo]

I have 2 kinds of micro stars. Asterinas FAQs about Asterina (tiny, white...) Sea Stars 1 and orphiuroid micro brittle stars BrittleStarIDFAQs.
