gena Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Is it ok to get back water in my tank???? I meant bag water Link to comment
nevermore1701 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Can you just pour the bag into a net over the sink and dump the shrimp from the net into the tank? I personally hate getting foreign water into my tanks Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just got back. Scales 'n Tails had the cherry shrimp, so I got two! I didn't realize how tiny they are!!!!!!! I also got a zebra nerite....very pretty! Guess I won't need Mark's after all Excellent! Mark's is cool, but over priced. I am glad you found them at Scales. I just burst out laughing! Grammer is our friend Is it ok to get back water in my tank???? I meant bag water In small amounts I am sure. I wouldn't dump the whole thing in. Can you just pour the bag into a net over the sink and dump the shrimp from the net into the tank? I personally hate getting foreign water into my tanks See that is the catch 22 of it. The invert lived in that forgein water Link to comment

ScubaEthan Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ... Not to worried about breaking it in again. I hardly have enough livestock in my tank right now. All together they are really not making a lot of waste. The biggest poo'er is the frogspawn and then second are the clowns. Wait... your frogspawn creates more waste their your clowns? How is that possible? I thought fish created way more waste than any coral. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wait... your frogspawn creates more waste their your clowns? How is that possible? I thought fish created way more waste than any coral. The frog has several mouths. This is the only reason why... Link to comment

surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 That sounds so cool! Can't wait for pics. ... and I did bring the gregorian and sponge home Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Well you were saving them, they would have died on the beach without you. Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Are you planning to put the stuff you rescued in your tank? You realize the water is going to be way too warm for them right? Can't wait to see all the pics! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Well you were saving them, they would have died on the beach without you. Exactly!! The gregorian polyps are coming out just a few. It looks like it has been through hell. I wasn't sure if it had any life in it. Color is good, nice and bright orange. It is about 10 inches long. The sponge is in a separate container, hard to tell. It is about the size of a quarter. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cool! Lots of Live Phyto! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Are you planning to put the stuff you rescued in your tank? You realize the water is going to be way too warm for them right? Can't wait to see all the pics! Yes I know ... but the gregorian is already looking better. I honestly expected to be mad for a bit. I will post pictures of them after the game. This nudi (if that is what it is) was freakin huge! Fatty Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Glad to hear the gorg is looking better. And I believe that is a sea hare, which are related to nudis. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 This one was smaller about 5 inches long. Again I am assuming it is a nudi of some sort. Here is the octopus. It was a good size, the body was as big as a soft ball and the tentacles were the about 2ft. Then it began to try to bury itself in the sand while it was stranded in the tide pool. Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm so jealous you got to see an octopus. They're such cool creatures Oh and here's info about sea hares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplysiomorpha Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 There was red, brown, blue sea stars. I'm so jealous you got to see an octopus. They're such cool creatures Oh and here's info about sea hares: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplysiomorpha I have been to Leo Carillo hundreds of time, since I follow the tide reports. This was the first The best for last. This was an interesting find also I will miss the Ventura coastline when I move ... but will back for vacations, yay! Okay some more.... Huge greenish/blue hermit. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So cool! That last one is a Nudi I am not sure what kind but so pretty. Link to comment
nevermore1701 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very nice, thanks for sharing the pics! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 So cool! That last one is a Nudi I am not sure what kind but so pretty. Most def ... the others were sea hares. Weird looking and other first picture was really big and strange looking. Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 That's it. I'm signing up for a dive when I'm out there. I'm so jealous. I loooove octos. I wish I lived near the ocean so I could get stuff for my tank. Or see all those cool creatures like the bright colored nudi things. Sigh. Link to comment
