@Remi Have you been to any good concerts lately? That's one of the things I love to do most. Every time I see one of my favorite bands playing, they're somewhere in France or in Hamburg lol

Hi John, I never went to concert a lot. The last ones were Metallica and Guns n Roses in Abu Dhabi. I also watched Jurassic Park movie (one of my wife favorite movie) with a live symphonic orchestra (100 musicians on stage). This is my last 10 years. In France, my parents lives on an island so no good concert there. Hope you are doing marvelous.

Hugs my friend. I am doing well. Ironically, I was talking about Metallica when I said they only played in Grance and Hamburg. That was the first band that I discovered as a kid and "made my own". Im sure that was an experience.
 
Goodnight Smorgasbord. @kevgib67 This was the #Smorgasbordafterdark you wanted, complete with Arthur Brown and a clip of a Tool concert. Im sorry it was just a couple nights late.

It could be, I haven't read much about Berghias, but I imagine they are not a vacuum that works 24 hours a day. I imagine they have some mating time, or if the tank has aggressive fish, they will come out when everyone is sleeping.
what I've read is they will breed to the population of the aiptasia and it will be the future generations that eat it. I had only bought 3 that were about 3/4" and let them crawl out on their own and then they went into the rocks. I let each one go in a different spot near an aiptasia rather than all in the same spot which is recommended. (missed that memo). I saw them at night as the light was setting a few times days later but then never saw them again but the aiptasia I had disappeared. But I didn't have an over population. I forgot where I got mine from though.
 
I think I've been having problems with the hinges on that door for months, lol. I think I haven't gone to buy them because I'm lazy, but with the next tank update, which is in 15 days, I'll have it fixed. I'm very happy and I can't wait for that day to come. I've really wanted and needed something like what's coming next 😉
They must have assembled that hinge with a Milwaukee. Use a Dewalt and it will be fixed! 😏
 
Good Morning Smorg Reefers!
All this smoke is trickling down from Canada wild fires making a hazy sky out there. 😢
I think we have this for today and tomorrown
