hi

I was referring to you... . But judging from your response I assume that it it illegal in the Evergreen State.

need a ton more rocks to make a dent in the tank lol

kinda hard to find stuff i like

temp hit 66 today at the height of the temp, but my fan was not on.

sorry about the crappy pics, but what can you do lol.
went to grandparents boat shed, garbed/ dip netted what i could off the sides, 3 shrimp, anems ( a bit), 1 muscle with anems on it. chitons and some seaweeds (algae)
fed the anems today, that is why some you can see red inside of it. my favorite chiton ans 3 small anems on it hes the one of the glass so kinda hard to get pics.

Ahhhh, I remember those collecting days before the date of April 20th.




nice stuff by the way.

my very ghetto chiller.


and my live stock from todays harvest...? went out on low low -2 tide.







chiton with nems.


going to check how the chiller home made form a refrigerator (mini) is doing. the heat on the copper coils was amazing so that is why it is in water now to try and increase the surface area.

go a eel like fish today. but cant seems to find i in the mess of rocks/ and worring about the heat.

very hard to take great pics.

Is the copper you have touching the water that circulates through your tank? I believe most forms of metal, copper included, are toxic to marine life and especially temperate marine life.

I'm sure there are others. I might see if there is something you could do about it.

no, not touching at all its a seperate 5 gal bucket, that is hte part of the fridge that gets hot, so i put it in water to increase surface area.

worked okay. kept it at a steady temp but weater is getting cold this week

Yep copper is extremely toxic to marine organisms. make sure it doesnt touch your water at all. the slightest bit of copper in your water can hurt destroy the tank.

Otherwise, lokkin great. Nice progress.
