Hello Everyone,

My family has taken in a Stinkpot in Sept when my wife found it in the driveway. We think that it came from our newly layed sod. I told her to drop it into a local pond but some how it made it into the house. A local pet shop told my wife that it should be kept until motherdays because of its size (smaller than a quarter) and the time of year. We bought a 15 gal tank, a dock, heat lamp, a little filter and thru in two rocks. Every weekend replacing the water in the tank. Thick algae became a problem in Jan. when the heat in the house came on alot. I'm allergic to molds so hours after the tank cleanings in Jan. I started w/ sinus infections. I started looking for better tank designs and came across the link below. I've followed the information given last weekend and set everything up. So now I've got about $260 invested into this Stickpot (not including the cost of food and water "Shoprite Spring water" )who now bears the name Snappy and is the first pet but 6th member of my family. All of this said, I'm looking for your thoughts and concerns about the setup I'm using. Pictures to follow. Thank you all for your time in advance. Drew
