it's a great feeling, isn't it? Just wait until you see something wild--like a shrimp molt!
The satisfaction of this hobby is incalculable. Be patient, you will be rewarded.

Check it out after lights out and see who's working the night shift.
Use a red flashlight....

I agree with the flashlight in the middle of the night idea.
One of my favorite things to do. You'll see literally hundreds of creatures you have never seen before scatter like crazy. It's amazing what the night crew does and how you never even see them during the day.
