We got to Cape Coral home on Wednesday. Yesterday we drove north 8 hours FSU. I got tackled by a student playing catch. I fractured my foot.

Today is frat parties before the game. The first frat has the largest house in the country.

First a bad case of worms now a fractured ankle! Marsha, Marsha,Marsha! Lmaooo!

Ouch! I broke my fifth metatarsal when I was around 35.....I'm now 71 and I can still predict the weather from my pinky toe. Heal well! Forget walking on sloped ground.

Do you guys purchase amphipods/copepods? What is your go to place? I usually purchase amphipods from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens but I haven't seen them in months. Thanks

I've gotten from Dinkins, Reef by Steele, and Reef Legends.

Also, Reef Nutrition has good pods.

I usually buy from Reef Plantation but I've also bought from Reef By Steele.

Ohhh... I got Reef Plantation once as well! I forgot about them.

Thank for the recommendations. I placed an order with Reef Plantation. My first order with them. Hope Dinkins has amphipods in the next two months. My wrasses like them.

Dave's a great guy and real straight shooter. You won't be disappointed. He sold on R2R for quite a while before he formed Reef Plantation. Reef By Steele and Dinkins are also great people and straight shooters but I have more experience with Dave. I did get amphipods from Reef By Steele once, along with phyto and copepods, and they were very healthy. I'd say you can't go wrong with them or Dinkins.

I use Reef by Steele for all my pods and phyto. Quality stuff and their shipping and packaging is fantastic!

I just did the same. The sale going on and free shipping made it absolutely worth my while to try them out.

I was able to catch 1 of my wrasses before it dove into the sand bed with a large net. I have 2 more to remove and those two are total but heads. I have had a 2 liter coke bottle trap in the aquarium. They won't go near it. My PJ Cardinals and bristle worms have been inside the trap with nooooo problem. I can't move the 40g and stand until the 2 are caught

 

[Evil1]

Good luck! Lol

I heard cyanide helps when trying to catch fish. I lack any first-hand experience but invite you to try it out and let us know how it works. Thanks, in advance, for your cooperation.

 

[fishface NJ]

Cyanide!

 

[Evil1]

Cyanide!

Ummmm yea NO!

 

[fishface NJ]

Yes!!!!!!!!! So happy. 5 minutes ago, I just captured my last sand diving wrasse. Every time I go near my tank he would dive into the sand. All his buddies (wrasses) got removed a week ago. He knew I was aiming to remove him too. Now I can dismantle the 40b and move it to the other side of the room temporarily until the new tank is ready.

I’m scoop out my deep sand bed. By the way it has never been touched since it went in back in 2019. I never know if I’m supposed to vacuum sections each month or not. Do you vacuum yours???? Oh the smell!

Well I came across this fella. Oh he’s as thick as my pointer finger. I know @BristleWormHater would enjoy this.

Another one about the same size…two Bounty sheets long
