I received a box of rocks today.

Hmm Sharks and a LFS. You will walk outside till you get inside the museum and LFS seems a good compromise

It was a very fishy day for us.

First stop, Bruce Museum. Regular stuff plus the Shark Exhibit.

Megalodon

A baby shark had just hatched. This was his egg sack

Tried to get a couple of shots, but he was a shy baby.

Next was House of Fins

Last fish stop was Greenwich Aquarium.

@sfin52 we saw this guy in a park with really blue wings? Any ID?

What an epic looking day with the kids. That pipefish is delightful

Yes, I totally agree.

Rich still thinks we’re gonna let him move out west? Bwahahaha!

Love that movie.

What is that pic of Rich deep throating an ear of corn.... ;Hilarious ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Knew I would regret that one.

What was he doing to that corn cob to make her give him that look? I am not sure if I am scared or not.
And who is who in these pictures? Now that there are faces to go with screen names I am not sure if I am not sure if I am scared or not?

She gives me that face daily

Here it is. Tomorrow if all goes as planned I will put him in his permanent spot. It will be pretty low in the tank, but in the spot of heaviest flow.

I know you will give it a good home. I'll expect a nice frag of it when I build my next tank.

Only now do you understand what you missed out on not staying till dark

Half of me wishes we coulda done a fire, but that lightening show was phenomenal. Sorry for all the meteorology rants! Haha. If I knew half of what I know about storms in reefing my tank would be sweet. LoL

Ask and ye shall receive.

<3

Last FTS before sleepy time.
Nice and clear now.

Beautiful again brian. Keep chugging. it will settle .

You like the stripes, don't you?

I figured one of us would have ended up in stripes after Richapalooza. Ha!

Have a great Labor Day with the kids. Both option sound like a win to me.

The hermits are fun to watch and do a good job cleaning but mine like eating my snails

Same. Nasty buggers but great cuc.

U were quiet in the group chat. Figured u were off doing something exciting with the kids as always. Family time is the best time.

Cheers.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Yes. Had the kids for two days. Even if we play crazy 8s and watch movies all day, we make it count. They are really funny in a creative, mature way, yet maintain a kid sense of fun.

Looks like you and your kids had a wonderful time.

Thank you! Cannot recall seeing one before. This fellow was in Greenwich, CT. A beautiful critter for sure.

Do you have to quarantine megaladons? Hopefully you acquired this answer in your excursion.

LOL, I never quarantine anything. Unfortunately, though, I would need at least a 120 gallon tank for a Megalodon. ;Hilarious

There has never been a sentence that carries more stress.

I don't qt either.

 

[Katrina71]

No QT here either.

 

[living_tribunal]

No QT here either.

I don’t own a fish nor coral and have a QT for each.

 

[living_tribunal]

No QT here either.

That will change tomorrow though. Picking up my first real life for the tank.

 

[Hemmdog]

One of my blue legs doing what they do. His buddy to the right is probably cheering him on with claw clicks. I love my hermits, they do a lot of good things for the tank, but they are jerks.

Treats tonight were blue Italian ice and Mike & Ike’s.

That platy is amazing!

My LFS fresh water dips and keeps tanks at therapeutic levels of copper power.

My lfs does as well. Her lfs tank quarantine protocol is 5x better than your average individual on here. She’s also a major contributor to the R2R quarantine section.

She still wouldn’t accept anything other than a minimum 30 day quarantine from me.

I do want to give a shoutout to all of the lfs who really take care of their fish and customers. She honestly is the reason I decided to try and start one. I don’t think I’d make it to this point without her.
