    I am going to check again, first time using a salifret kit. I am going to LFS friday with new results and have them run their own test, as these levels are crazy low.

    Best reef safe and non- shrimp eating brittle star?

    Hey thanks, I had a huge Green Bristle star that I got with some live rock and livestock I bought. It was beautiful but I put a shrimp in tank and he has been hiding up on skimmer output so I donated him to local LFS. Hopefully cleaner shrimp will relax! Cheers from Seattle

So I will have shrooms, zoes, hammer , ricordea, etc. I am careful of livestock I add but would like a decent UV. What are your thoughts on them and if you...
