Microscopic creatures in the reef tank

[Varga]

Just received a microscope for Christmas and would like to share some cool stuff.

Here is SeaChem Stability 400x. What do you know; there is some life in there

COOL!

Here's a funny guy who was living in the sump. He is just barely visible to the naked eye.

Nice...Kirkland is a great city. It's nice seeing other hobbyists in the area. I moved to CA for a year and a half and lost my main "fish guy" who I would go to for livestock, equipment, tanks, etc (he moved to Michigan). Once I get my car running again, I may meet you if you ever sell livestock. I'm just getting my tank going again since moving back

Nice. I'm just getting back into it myself. Tank sat empty in the garage for about 3-4 years. It's only 4-5 months old now

You should start a 'reef chronicle' so we can follow along

Is he a distributor? Anywhere near Detroit?

It's a very simple one from Amazon. It has a little camera that attaches to computer

The microscope has a little USB camera. I'm using Apple's Photo Booth to record.
