It's almost 11:00 am and I already had 5 cups of coffee. :eek2:

Morning walk this morning was great. A little rough and cool, 69 degrees but no amphipods, not one. I don't know why. But I couldn't resist and collected more seaweeds. This is common Bladderwrack. I didn't have this type of bladderwrack so I picked it up. It's beautiful. I also collected...

This red seaweed is completely gone. Something completely ate it on one night. Not a piece left not even floating around. I will collect more today to try to see what eats it. It may be good food. :unsure:

I want one of these. :biggrin:

Diana, is anyone else on this forum besides you? Not that I don't like you, I'm just interested. :D

Very foggy beach walk this morning. I thought it would be perfect for collecting amphipods as it was low tide and the water was smooth like the top of my head. :cool: I couldn't find one amphipod. :sick: I did find, and I always do find these invasive Japanese Shore Crabs. There are like 10...

I do too Diana. I hope it at lasts a few months. :biggrin:

I thought this little gobi was going to croak a couple of weeks ago. He is very old and looks to have ich. But he must have prayed to Saint Peter and now is all better. I'm not sure why. :unsure:

This morning I went collecting. The tide was a little too high for amphipods but I found some nice bladderwrack seaweed about a foot high. The pieces I added last week still look great so I figured I would add some more even though I doubt they will last very long. I also collected some...

MadReefer, I also can't stand sugar in my coffee but I use skim milk. I drink 2 cups at 5:30AM before I take my walk then another cup when I get home about 7:00, then another one or two with breakfast at about 7:30. I don't know how people function without coffee. My best friend who lives...

I am so happy. I just came back from a pulmonologist, and the nurse pulled me into the office. I went there because when I went to the hospital last month for doing a wheelie on my wife's motorized chair and flipped over backwards, and had a CAT scan. The doctors in the hospital told me I have...

Normal beach walk this morning. I did rescue a couple of conch before they became seagull food and I did see a lot of this red seaweed. I love this stuff but it never comes with a holdfast and it is thin and delicate so hard to glue to anything. Besides that, the fish treat it like an all...

I discovered a different way to "glue" corals and seaweeds to rocks. Now I did this about 5 hours ago so I can't comment on long term results yet. This morning I collected about 6 Macro seaweeds on the beach and brought them home. 5 were codium and one was I think, bladderwrack. Normally I...

I discovered a new, much faster, much cheaper and much easier to glue corals, and seaweeds to rocks. I used it on these seaweeds so if they don't go floating around the tank, I will make a post about it. Besides that, I know all these seaweeds I added to my tank won't last very long. As soon as...
