    Turtle in my back yard.

    That's cool. per wiki painted turtles grow smaller...so i would agree with mark's son. But if that's trully a red belly, it's not indigenous to NJ, it's common on FL. Makes me think someone had this one for a pet and released it. btw -the long front claws are usually a give away that it's a...

    ATO keeps filling

    Probe is dirty. Get a wipe and clean it. if it's in the return side and you don't have a filter sock you're probably getting a lot of splash/bubbles and this will cling to the probe until it can no longer read. Wait a minute - why is it set on the APEX? The tunze ato is completely self...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    No eye candy here...just trying to keep this tank clean and not neglected. Still having a hard time with the AWB on the camera. I think having so many ATI blue + in the tank isn't helping either. I'm overdue for new bulbs...can't wait for the frag swap. First up - got this coral from a guy...

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Go for it. Just don't get water immediately after a rain storm...lots of bad run off from our lawns, cars, etc. Only other caution is if you have captive bred fish, they are not exposed to the same wild fauna from the ocean. Clownfish being part of the damsel family I wouldn't worry too much...

    R.I.P clownfish (How do I go about getting another?)

    I went thru this 2 years ago. I introduced a very small clownfish to my dominant female clown. The juvi understood the pecking order very quick and they became a mated pair about a year later as he did the dance and she laid the eggs again. Under no circumstances should you get a clown of...
