I just came back from a 3 day camping trip on the oregon coast yesterday. And yep I did some collecting. I went to a couple of the state parks in the cannon beach area and found some more stuff. The tank definately doesn't look so empty anymore. I am working on getting some sweet pics to update this thread. So if there are any volunteers that have a nice camera who want to help I would be honored. I've been working with my iPhone but no matter how I adjust the pic I can't get the color right. I didn't get any fish partly because I didn't have a means to keep them alive as easy. I had a battery operated air pump but didn't like the cramped quarters. And I'm wanting to go through coldwater marine for the fish. They get good ones that are hard to get by collecting. One shrimp is riding on the back of a bloodstar picking parasites or something for food. I turned down the water temp and now it sits between 54-56 degrees. And let me tell you when I reach in the tank to move stuff around its hard to keep my hand in there long enough lol!
