Verrrrrrrrrrrrry Creepy but funny

I was at sears today with my roommate..he was buying a big tool box because he just got a job at a body shop..i strayed away for a few minutes and he asked where i went..i just said i went and grabbed a little flashlight..mine broke..he said wth do you need a flashlight for? I just kinda smiled and he said leeeett me guess..your aquarium! haha he thinks i'm the biggest nerd in the world..do i care? not a bit

 

We all do it.... i was kinda freaked out when I saw my first bristle worm dart.. those things are pretty quick... it was about 6 inches long at the time.. I saw it out in the light just the other night and its about 9 inches now.. JEEEZ... I may need a 6 line wrasse soon lol

 

im glad i got fellow reefers out there talkin about late nite rondevous with there tanks or i would think i was getting a little silly there!!!!!!

 

Late nighters are a must!!! My timers are set such that i can see the daylight on when i get home, and the lights go off before i go to bed. I also have a flashlight just for the tank;D

 

I get home from work around 3a.m. and I too keep a flashlight by the tank.I always check things out before hitting the bed. I often see more things with the flashlight(under rocks,crevises) than with lights on in the day.

 

I did it once, and even dipped my hand in and saw a bristle worm for the first time. Quite creepy/disgusting I gotta say. My fear is coming across a mantis shrimp, just pics online of that thing turns my stomach inside out. MY lord!

 

I actually installed Red christmas tree lights in my light hood so I could watch the creepy crawlies at night. Most stuff cant see me when I'm watching under that light but its still pretty cool.

 

I've never tried it, but I think I recall reading somewhere that red lighting at night is fantastic for visibility. Is this true?

 

okay christmas lights is a really good idea lol wish i would have thought of that before i spend money on lunar lights

 

night viewing is something every one with a reef tank should deff do. there is almost a holw diff line up of life that comes out at night. it can be very interesting to see what you can see when the lights go out.
