Greetings,

On Wednesday I picked up 30lbs of LR for my first SW tank. Today we noticed
there are already some critters that look kinda like tube worms popping out
of the nooks and crannies. I think the live rock is going to be as much fun
to watch as the fish:)

Brother, there are entire weekends of my life that I have lost to
nothing more than watching rocks. Anyone other than a fellow reefer
would think me crazy as a pet coon. Perhaps I am, at that.

Billy,
My non reef friends think I`m crazy as a loon when they hear how much that
rock cost in my two tanks :))


I agree that just watching them will show new things days, weeks and even a
few months down the road. I`ve found crabs (good ones) showing up a month
and half after I put rock in my 90 gal tank.

If you really want to be amazed, turn out the tank lights at night and make
sure the entire room is dark. Then take a flashlight that you've put a red
lens on (anything to make the light deep red) and look around the rocks.
'Pods don't seem to be bothered by the light and you'll watch these little
elves run around for hours.

Or when you go see a new beautiful tank take one look at it and "great, now
lets see your filtration system!" Yea, we are defiantly a sick breed!

I actually get alittle annoyed when visitors DON'T want to see the
filtration system. :-)

That is one of the funnies things I have ever heard!!! Mostly because I have
done the same... only didn't get caught! I am sure you knew more about it
than anyone in the office did!
