This is my first attempt at a SW tank. I am adding all sorts of life forms from Puget Sound, Washington State.
The humble beginnings:
Currently aiming for a stable 55F environment and waiting for the dust to settle.
Had a molting from one of the amphipods.
Well, I thought mystery snails were the only ones with more of a penchant for relocation, until I just saw the clam decided to try a new spot in the tank (and out of view, of course). I know he is there because I can see him from the top, but the little stinker has made it impossible for me to get a side view. I guess they all want to redecorate at some point. The snails and amphipods have pretty much decimated the green tuft seaweed.
Littorina scutulata and several amphipods and copepods.
Algae: Sarcodiotheca gaudichaudii, Cladophora columbiana, Prionitis lanceolata, Fucus gardneri, Alaria marginata.
The tank today:
I am also documenting this in YT so I can remember what things looked like once a transition has taken place. Please bear in mind that I do have a goofy sense of humour, so some of the videos are kind of wacky.
