    "Speaking of macros, maybe if I stand in front of them nobody would notice I am here!" --Twinkle Toes Not a good day for photos because of the sun, but a great day for the tank. Pods everywhere, everyone happy!

    There was a little bristle worm living in the shell and eating leftovers. The shell may have had the hole when the crab moved in. And yes, aquatic crabs fight over empty larger shells when they outgrow their current ones. It is hilarious! They drag the shell with them, look at it over and over, turn it, poke the inside, then finally line it up and do the switch. However, I have seen some reject the new dwellings and move back to their old one, which is probably why they hold on to the older shell for a bit. Unfortunately, I missed that talk! Being on an island I depend on a reliable ferry system, and they have been canceling and delaying sailings a lot recently. I am happy there is encouragement to grow macros. Once they take off, they are amazing! Mine are turning into a red forest!

    I truly feel so fortunate with my saltwater tank. I am down to cleaning the filter once every two or three weeks, feed every other day but if I go away for a month I just throw a bunch of clams and mussels in, and only water top offs (and not many at that). I think cold water makes all the difference! Have you thought about recreating a rain forest environment in the big tank? Frogs and other fun critters can live in a lush plant environment! In any case, I hope you enjoy whichever direction it goes. Pushing a project that is not in your heart would probable lead to failure. You are still cool!

    Thank you! Don't mess with me, I have arms from eating lots of spinach!

    As much as I love him, will never attempt a kiss unless I feel suicidal! 😆 Greta, on the other hand, has started to play with my hand when I feed. As hairy scary as she looks, she is an absolute sweetheart!

    It has been a while! Life takes over, and the fish keep swimming... In July this tank will be 2 years old. Twenty eight aggregate anemones, Ursula (of course), Lolita, Greta, Twinkle Toes, way too many crabs, bay gobies and shrimp. Mr. Chiton was eaten by one of the big crabs. Pods, pods, many pods. I stopped the rock weed since the red macros are quite happy, as well as keep the water quality nice. The tank is still brings me happiness! I clean the filter once a month, meaning change socks and scrub the airstone from the skimmer, as well as top off water as needed. No water changes. Other than that, it is a very easy tank to maintain. I have left the coraline algae and diatoms as food, so it may not win a beauty contest, but the critters seem happy and that is what matters to me. 😊

    Still very shy and growing, but no coloring yet:

    Thank you! Yes, I would encourage trips to the beach. It is an awesome place to explore year-round. 😍 I don't know. @Biotope Biologist may be a better person to ask.

    The drama box has a few itty bitty updates: - Mr. Iso went for a very ungraceful swim (more like falling without style) and landed on a anemone. Mr. Iso no more. - 29 anemones, not including the flamenco family, aiptasias and Ursula. - Lola has an offspring: so there is now a Lolita in the tank (my homage to VN). She is camera shy... - The derpy brigade continues to entertain, as they signal to be ready for breakfast: - Twinkle Toes came out of the hiding place in the macros to graze on pods: - Red macro keeps growing on the temp probe:

    I have sea urchin envy! 🤪 Wish I could add one to my PSB... without going to jail.

    I do love this journal! Fun to see the Anchor cats, I have been considering getting some. They look so fun! 😍

    This was taken a little while ago: I have attempted eel grass, but it gets eaten. I do not know what you mean by wormy things with spiky legs. Bristle worms? If so, yes, there are a few in there.

    I love it when he is suctioned to the glass and I can see under the skirt! Fascinating little bits… 😍

    I bleed the skimmer to add a bit more air into the tank. The micro bubbles mimic the ones from the ocean tide crashing into the rocks. The tank has looked happier since I did that, but I do not want the pH to get higher than 8.5 so I scaled it back a bit. He is mainly nocturnal, so I see him in a different spot every morning. He does cruise the tank cleaning up, so I know he is quite active. I imagine he is a bit slower than snails, but about the same speed as a limpet. These are the macros that I suspect might be Turkish Towel: Excuse the yellow. The bright morning sun was making everything in the tank glow.

    All caught up! My morning is complete! 😍
