i had one of those for awhile and no matter how high i kept the water in the tank, the bubbles were there. are you using the bio-wheel(s) or did you remove it/them? that may be something else to try....

SOLD!

alright 200 for everything... anyone?

id really rather not part everything out. don't everyone reply at once though... im also willing to trade for live rock, coral, or a large protein skimmer.

I finally took down the 40 breeder and transferred everything to my new tank, so this is what I have left. 40 Breeder glass tank with (unopened) hood (not sure of manufacturer, i bought it at petsmart) 2 bulb T5 fixture (used before buying the Trinity) 36" JBJ Trinity T5 HO w/ LED Moonlight (Purchased August 8th, 2011) 2 Aqueon ACP-500 500GPH Circulation Pump Coralife 05152 Digital Power Center Marineland Penguin BIO-WHEEL 350 Power Filter (no wheels or filter media included) Fluval M-150 150 watt submersible heater $250 for everything. i can post pictures if you're interested, but everything is pretty much new. the tank does have some sand left over and looks kind of dirty but thats just because i don't have a backyard to wash it out.

well, around noon today i looked around and starfish only had two legs left, all tattered... so he's gone. In unrelated news, the butterfly fish seemed to wedge himself in-between the live rock and the side of the tank, and died two deaths in one day

the tank is a 40 breeder. i can't imagine he was starving because he was eating some clam meat i put in the tank the day before. i do have blue leg hermit crabs though... do you think it could have been them?

So I've had this small starfish for maybe 2 weeks without a problem, added another (larger) starfish, went another week without a problem, then added a dwarf fuzzy lion fish and a copper banded butterfly on thursday. Today, I came home and noticed that half of one of the smaller starfishes legs was missing, and it wasn't cut in half the short way, but rather the leg was missing the under-half, and the top skin half was still intact, connected to him but just sort of floating around. earlier i saw him and it looked like he may have been stuck between two rocks, so i dismissed it. i came back later and realized the rest of his leg has disappeared. I went to the fish store and they said it probably wasn't the butterfly or the lion fish, so I was just wondering what you guys thought it could be.
