sorry Chris, live's been hectic! We are doing very well - though, starting work 7am, I do not get home before 8p for the past few months. Tank is up and down - I am sure you've heard this before "No time for the tank". Live stock is still pretty healthy, but I have to find more time for...

looks great looks great Chris, that looks great! How is it working out so far? What brought you to Mass? Rainer

Absolutely helps - great note-keeping and very much aprpeciated! I actually have a little cuture of copepods - will need to get another 10g tank and start an Amphipod minifarm :) First, though, have to buid a storage closet for my wife!

Thanks all - i will try to find locals who can give me a hand ful of chaeto. Do all you agree that sand is needed on top of what I am using, which is rubble? Also, Phil 519 is correct, I was looking for Amphipods not copepods Also, I will try to exchange a rock with a local. Thanks again!

Yup, done the flashlight at night trick, no Amphie's.
