They did the quartscape finish on the pool yesterday.  Today they acid washed it.

So, now I have a 20,000 gallon brackish water tank.  Maybe we can keep shrimp in there!

Here are a few photos from this weekend's dives:

 

Tiny fish hanging out with this urchin for shelter.

This one may be significant.  Someone else submitted this photo to a nudibranch site and gave me credit.  This may be a new species or something not normal in this area.

This is a fairly common strawberry nudibranch, similar to the one above, but noticeably different.

Macro algae I'm hoping to collect for my tank. This was about 70 foot depth.

Avoid this area in particular.

Leaf scorpion fish.  It looks likes a leaf.   They're hard to spot.

White mouth moray eel.  Very common, but always fun to find.

Frog fish.  They rarely move from the spot they live in unless bothered.  Very hard to spot.  They look exactly like the local corals.

Christmas tree worms.
