got ethical husbandry?

tide pooling

Check the tides, right now their a little on the full side, evenings would work though. Wind is your enemy this time of year it can create a lot of turbidity, today the water is clear emerald, and sadly the surf is pancakesville.
 
i felt like a nerd a few weeks ago jeremy when i looked at your username had one of those oh!!! Thats what it means moments.
 
Come out to the coastside and check out"Fitzgerald Marine Reserve" its where Iv been going since I was a kid . but Jeremy is right , if you dont check the tides you'll be bummed .

and the "tuberider" thing .... my wife got it before I did and I grew up here :'( . sometimes Im not so quick
 
Then Barrelking would have really gone over your heads :D.

A little factiod, I shape and glass all of my surfboards, and have not ridden a factory board in at least 6 years (even my guns and semi-guns).
 
A little factoid. I have never even attempted to surf. For 18 years of my life, I lived 30min from the so-cal beaches (huntington/newport). For the next 12 years of my life, I lived 10 minutes away from said beaches.
 
Ahhh...okay see now I don't feel so dumb. I thought inner tube for the longest time as well until I got the surfing aspet and then it clicked, popped, and promptly went out :D

fitzgerald marine reserve.

yeah I put together a SFBAS shoot at the minus tide day. that was tons of fun.

and now I know what Jeremy's name means! I thought he liked inner tubes too.
 
Hey I had the last algae... Didn't know it's cold water algae. I gave it to Jim. Wondering if it's still alive. I grew it from a "seed" ;D ..

The algae above it looks pretty cool. I love macroalgae 8) ..

[/quote]Like tigger pods many of the macro algae adapt to different temps, I've been tempted to harvest a small amount of Gracilaria to see how it works out in a fuge. Come out to the coast if you like macros Phong, it's unbelieveable the variety.
