after lights out!

[wingman]

Any one recommend the best light to use to look in your tank to see the nocturnal species in the tank? Something that doesn't scare everything as easily as a normal flash light does. I thought I had read some where that a red light works well.

a red light does make it a lot easier to view nocturnal creatures like mysis and copepods... just put some kind of red film over your flashlight.. now the little guys aren't just gonna sit there the whole time and not get a little freaked.. but it keeps them from zipping into their little holes when you try to see them..
