night watching....
I figured I'd grab a flashlight and take a look at the new tank just for shits and giggles. Well I was pleasantly surprised to find all sorts of neat little pods booting around, which I really hadn't expected in a 4 month old 180! Then I went over to the 46, which I probably hadn't looked at in the evening since the tank was about two months old. I always figured it to be devoid of life, especially after my sleeper goby kicked it. There was crap everywhere! My nicest surprise was finding a 2" diameter brittle star, I have no idea how long he's been around or when I picked him up, I've never seen him before. Anyways, its always neat to grab a flashlight and check out your tank at night

Re: night watching....
Night watching is probably my favorite part of having the tank.Plus it gives you an idea of just how well its doing.

Re: night watching....
Just wait till you reach in the tank to move a rock,and find an urchin you dont know is there
 It'll amaze you at just how long some hitch hikers can stay hidden.

Re: night watching....
My wife thinks I'm nuts because I'll spend as much time looking at the tank in the dark as I do with the lights on.
Cool find with the brittle star!
