This has been a crazy winter for us... we've maybe had a handful of actual cold days. The rest of the time is been in the 70s. I've been wearing just a tshirt during the day and a light coat at night. Heck it was 80 on Monday, I had the windows open and left the back door open so the dogs could run around.

Same here. Some stuff is starting to bloom here. This plant in our back yard is usually just dormant branches this time of year.

I see he is an endangered species. A 90% decline in population in some areas. I'm going to assume pollution plays a role due to his diet.

Over fishing also, can easily reach to 2 meters. And full of meat.

I have seen few spearguners bragging about fishing them and eating them in the red sea. So sad

BREAKING: Exciting video from Pirate's Reef sump! I was getting a little cyano in my sump and my chaetomorpha was lethargically laying there growing, but had some brown spots. I needed more water movement for both issues. I have purchased two sets of small pumps to try to fix this, but they were either too strong or too noisy. Then I remembered I already had these tiny Aquarium Specialties Micro-Jet pumps. I have had them for years and don't even remember what i used them for. They work perfect for added flow in the refugium part of the sump (without stirring up my MIracle Mud) and gently move the chaetomorpha from side to side. They are also dead silent. The pumps run alternately, using the APEX. Exciting sump video!! LOL! I like this being retired stuff! :)

What is an ato? Told ya I'm brand new.
Automatic top off. It’s a thing that adds distilled or reverse osmosis water to the tank as it evaporates. If you decide to go without one you may have to add water one or more times a day. Also I was wondering if you have any rock in your tank and if it is currently cycling water?
