Nope. Teahupoo - even worse. Ever seen Mavericks break big?

The Predatory Tunicate is awesome. I want to see something transparent like that eat. Has anybody been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and seen these? Do they look like this in person? Here's a cool article on them and how they are kept alive at the aquarium. I wish I was the operator of the...

Anybody have an eel with good personality? I've only seen them chillin in rocks all day.

You might be able to plumb two small bathroom waste baskets together at the bottom with bulkheads and short piece of PVC. This might work as a decent baffle, esp. if you were to add a wall (probably out of acrylic) to the inside of the first one, so water flows up over wall then down to PVC into...

Only 4? You're not addicted yet. ...pull out before it's too late.
