We have a family of squirrels living in our neighborhood and my wife hit one in her car the other day.

Not the furry kind, but still great entertainment. It’s fun to see the interactions and behaviors between them. No names, I’m just their keeper…., a fishkeeper.

Beautiful cat. What's his or hers name?

Had to rescue Bella this morning, she got herself out of her harness & went down into the river, the tide was out & she got stuck up to the tops of her shoulders. I was so worried, had to find a place to tie up Frank then clamber down the very steep 20 or so feet of river bank & then wade out in the mud, which by the time I’d got to her was half way up my shins, got a lead on her & dragged her out.
I then spent 2 hours cleaning them both, as she’d got mud all over Frank on the journey home followed by cleaning out the discovery…Bloody dog, she’s a very naughty girl

Assume with the plants you're dosing CO2?

We had a fish tank thread here years ago...there are a few of us.

Wow - but, safe and got a nice bath out of it too.

No CO2. I use SeaChem plant foods/tabs,LED lighting and just vigilant with weekly water changes. I love the fish and have had this for about 4 years. It’s only 12 gallons and a bookshelf style. recently been thinking about going a little larger to 40. This is when we first adopted our chiweenie. She was so curious, but now doesn’t pay much attention.

Glad she's okay.

It took a little while for us to get over the loss of our Corgi, but we were finally ready for our next family member and were able to pick him up a couple of days early on Friday.

I never looked at a new puppy as 'a replacement'...just new memories you're about to have

I've been out of the freshwater game so long...don't even know what the latest tricks are to keeping plants

Moved from Freshwater to salt back in 2002...and just kept growing. My reef requires a complete rebuild every 5 or 6 years, and each time I swear I'm going to downsize. Thing is...some of these fish are over 15 years old.

I have a full room dedicated to just the equipment to keep the thing running. And computers to tell me when anything goes wrong. More PITA than enjoyment at this point.

This is what I built in 2005 - and just keep adjusting with the rebuilds to change it up some.

That is pretty amazing! No doubt your time and effort is reflected in that serene and beautiful display. Is there any favorite coral for a close up?

The tank is all soft coral at the moment...compared to 2019, it's sad to look at now.

My favorite closeup was in anemone - not coral. I may have posted this a little while back. Both clowns died recently...had them for over 20 years.

Of the coral I had, this shot from inside the tank was one of my favorites.
