Morning everyone.

 

[Katrina71]

I might have ordered something fishy...

Something that looks like a blue stripe pipefish...

Is it... a blue stripe pipefish?

 

[Katrina71]

Yes. I might be getting a pair, but 1 for sure.

Project I started the other day. Hope to get a colony growing in the tank in the back. I'll feed spirulina once the rest of the brine shrimp hatch. I checked this morning and about half were still not hatched. Hatched eggs float, unhatched sink, shrimp swim to the light.

Hippie kid's room looks like you'd expect. Lava lamps, LEDs, and a blue tank.

Wait, no blacklight and fluorescent posters? As a former resident of Southern California in the 60s-70s (when it was cool to be in Cali) a black light is a hippy necessity. Maybe a cool Christmas present.

I agree. He's missing fuzzy posters and a black light.

If you look on the right side, you can see the Blenny out in plain site.

LOL, they are all looking at you.

I couldn't get the other two on the left in the frame. Lol. They know who their minion is!

Phyto not hard to grow. Ounce you get phyto to grow pods not hard either.

Luckily one of the benefits of being small and cute is that you don't get sworn at for doing this!

Here is my laundry picture as promised

Why this picture? I swore when I bought a house I would never be without laundry again. 15 years later, I am collecting quarters. At least I have laundry in the building, (down four flights of stairs :mad.

Hopefully I will have some pictures of critters later

Nice vid, love tube geeking.
I picked 7, purple plus and coral plus.
I have 8 tubes but there are 2 x pp and 2 x cp in the mix.
A word of caution and this is through my experience, aqua blue special is a strong / harsh tube, my corals hated it when I tried one!

Suggestion for the look of ab special with out the harshness. Right now running a 10k

Coral plus, great all around spectrum IMO.

So many choices so little time. But I like 1,5,7. So with your experience I will go with 7.

At least in the same building. After having to drive a laundry place never again.
