  1. Mithrax/algae balance and Aiptasias gone

    My tank hasn't seen much action lately, I have't been very good on the maintenance, but there is one thing I take pleasure in it: observing the balance between algae and mithrax crabs.

    I have two distinct areas with green hair algae, and a few areas now sparsely populated by with red bubble algae. The hair algae grows, then the crabs eat it and you see less of it, the reb bubble sometimes makes gains on a rock, a few weeks later thet are gone, the mithrax ate it.

    I'm going ...

  3. Hawaii - Sand Sculpture for the holidays

  5. Reefkeeping while injured

    Over the weekend, I had a mishap and twisted my ankle. It's eye opening to realize how much we use our feet to every single mundane or important task. I live in a single level home, fortunately.

    Friends came over hours after my injury, and took me up to the local pharmacy to get an ankle brace to immobilize it for the time being. Even with it on, any kind of pressure would not only hurt, but impede the healing process. As I sat on the sofa watching pre-recorded tv, I was able to ...
