Today I removed about a third of the left side of the tank and re-aquascaped. I had to push everything back away from the front glass. Now it is very "lacy" with large passages all the way to the back. It was too piled up before. I like it so much that soon I will tackle the right side. The...

You can see it better here. Those corals are hitting the glass as is that seaweed covered rock

You can't tell from this picture because it is a little old, but all the corals on the left side of my tank grew about 3 times the size shown here. As a matter of fact, all those green slimer corals and gorgonians grew 3 or 4 times the size here and many are up against the front glass. It is...

Only if I found the seaweed under a rock. :biggrin:

Yep, I will collect at the next low tide. :biggrin:

I took a very long beach walk this morning. I go before it gets too hot and it will be 90 degrees today. The tide was such that I didn't have to do any gymnastics to get across the thin portions of the shore next to the bulkhead that holds up the 170' dune. There was 4 or 5 different types...

For months I thought I only had one of these guys because I never see two of them. Then today I saw one out in the front so I gave him an earthworm that he jumped on. Then the other one came out and sat next to him, so I also gave him a worm. I guess I still have two of them. I bet if I wait...

I know, I probably have copies from the 70s. :biggrin:

Nope, Never heard of it. That Waspfish looks very young. Mine are Old Guys...Or Girls.

For 2 days I couldn't find my Janss Pipefish so I said OOOOooNNNooo, he must have croaked so I stopped target feeding small mysis to the back of my tank in his cave. Whats the sense? I was back there today and low and behold, there he is all smiley and all hanging out with the bluestipe...

As an American Veteran, it is very hard for me to watch this and similar ones.

Well Diana, maybe that was the problem. :D Amphipods only live under rocks. :eek2: The Long Island Sound was made by a glacier thousands of years ago, but ocean beaches were not, therefore, no rocks.

You need to go to a rocky beach at low tide. :biggrin:

I found hundreds or thousands of amphipods. :D Diana, I don't know where you live but you can come amphipod hunting any time you like. Of course I go at sunrise when no one is on the beach. :biggrin: I don't own the amphipods so anyone can take them and there is no limit or size...
