    realy you get laughed at!?! thats horrible.

    awesome set ups.

    i wish i could maintian that many tanks, though by next year, if all goes well, my school will have a marine aquaculture club, and we will be rivaling you in number, though not size.

  21. SQUILLA898 says:

    My turtles are all …
    My turtles are all freshwater species. Two are red-eared sliders, (a baby female and an adult male) and a young female Florida Cooter. The Cooter and the little slider live together in a 120 gallon setup with a pond filter, heater, and potted plants behind the tank. The large male lives in a 200 gallon tank with about 20 adult mustache danios. He has a pond filter and a sump, where I keep the heaters and grow plants like a freshwater refugium. People laugh at me for doing that, but it works!

  22. ctenophor says:

    thats awesome!


    thats awesome!

    so by rescued turtles, i assume you mean fresh?

    or are you able to keep seaturtles?

  23. SQUILLA898 says:

    Oceanbowl? How …
    Oceanbowl? How exciting! Don’t get me wrong- my smallest tank at the moment is 72 gallons, the largest is 400. None of my animals are over a foot long except for my Atlantic Green Moray, who is 2 feet, and lives in the 400 gallon deep reef system. All of my animals were given to me by clients who could no longer provide for them and knew I had large, healthy systems to keep them in. We have no room at the store for orphaned fish. I don’t buy fish for fun! I also own several rescued turtles.

    ah men, half of what i learned last year is now obsolete.

    i spend all my spare time trying to keep up my previous learning curve, which is difficult when a new study comes out ( from a repuatble and as close to non biased as you will ever get source) changes everything you’ve built apon.

    if you like, e-mail me your e-mail so i can send you the link when i find it.

    and maybe if i find a cool article hear and their i’ll send it your way?

    small tanks.

    now …
    small tanks.

    now many argue that size is relative, i am considered by most, probably, as an extremist.

    i think that a tang shouldn’t be kept in tanks under 1,000 gallons, just because of their size and active nature, that doesn;t mean exceptions dont exhist.

    if a fish can swim the entire volume of the tank while feeding……… its a little small.

    i saw a 2 foot remora in a 3 foot 45 gallon tank in florida, the owner said he had it for 6 months.

    their is the other extreme
