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...
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...
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...

Yes, and the one acting as the hitching post really dislikes it! they try vigorously (in a seahorse gentle manner) to shake off the offender. It's quite comical.
Holy smelly eggs batman...
Lesson #1 - do not overload reactor with too many biopellets.
Lesson #2 - do not smell the black pellets if attempting to clean them...
I nearly feinted.
Tang police
Anyways - I'm out of biopellets...had to toss the entire lot. Mnat where are you with my champion...
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...
