The Aquarist Refuge

I always want to change things in my aquarium, to keep it fresh. But I don’t think that is the best thing to do.

I’ve had a 75 gallon aquarium set up in my small 2 bedroom apartment for about 3 years now and it pretty much is a very crappy experience. But I still enjoy it! Here’s what I have to put up with in my tight quarters with a big aquarium.

I ran across this little tidbit today on the Aquarium Central forums. What a horrifying story about a 225 gallon saltwater aquarium breaking open and spilling everywhere.

Well, I don’t yearn for them. But I need some. I’m going to head out to the local fish store today to get some more snails for my 75 gallon aquarium. Why?

I like to go down to the local fish store quite often just to check out what they have in stock. They move a lot of fish and invertebrates, and because of that they always have something new in stock. In addition to constantly rotating their stock of fish, they like to mix in new stuff a lot, stuff that I’ve never seen before.

Watch a Emerald Crab eat a damsel fish. This is quality YouTube material if I’ve ever seen it.
