Giant Ecosphere

Is the lighting for the ecosphere just daylight through the window still?

Yes, other than just a bowl of water, sand, stones, macro algae, and shrimps there's nothing but a 50W titanium heater and an electronic thermometer in there. This Summer, I'll remove the heater and I'll have to start using blinds so as not to overheat it.

Are they eating the Spectrum food in the last pictures? Mine don't pile up on the Spirolina I give them. Maybe I should try something else? I do have other Bee shrimp foods but I think these guys don't eat protein based foods. What do you think?

I won't speak for David, but my opae ula eat ANYTHING I give them. Protein included.

They're not picky, they eat whatever I put in their bowl but I don't feed them very often.
