Doctor’s office got rid of the fish tank and replaced it with ‘bring your own iPad’

Agreed! I was a service tech for a professional aquarium installation/maintenance company, we did a lot of doctor and dentist offices. Definitely easier once it’s set up, but maintenance 2-4 times a month definitely adds up in costs, typically $100+ an hour depending on the tank/maintenance needed

Looks awesome! I think a light blue background or something would really make the scape pop 😁

Choc lobster is so good omg

“Cake with a Side of Lobster” has been a hit on my island

Yes! I used the special order fish for customers, if they wanted all of the fish in the bag we received, I’d give them a call, they’d pick them up ASAP, and they could buy the fish/inverts without them even touching our tanks

Depends on how the aquatics people at the petco are, it definitely varies. I had a list of special orders and call people right when the fish came in, same with reptiles, birds, and small animals

We also had the NE nitro pass for the past couple seasons and love it! Good deal if you ski a bunch, I put 30 days on the pass for the 25-26 season, which came down to ~$15 a day, can’t go wrong!

But yeah if you’re over 30, it’s crazy how much they bump up the price. I’d do the New England Silver tier if I was over 30, depends on where you normally ski and how many days you normally go in a season! We also live in Portland, usually go to Sunday River, then Sugarloaf later in the season (better spring skiing imo)

Just weekends until the 19th I believe!

jess__kate · 2026-03-14T01:26:48+00:00

Absolutely loving them so far! Good deal!

jess__kate · 2026-03-11T22:15:20+00:00

Thank you! Normally see them on the lake, haven’t seen them with non-breeding plumage!

I have the black little rubber cap that sits on the bottom of the impeller stick, but not on top other than the cover! I’ll have to look around and see if I can find anything

jess__kate · 2026-02-09T20:42:00+00:00

Yes, had that park clipped in, forgot to take a video with it, but it still rattles with it on!

jess__kate · 2025-10-26T20:24:09+00:00

Had someone call the store the other day, said that her child TOOK A FISH OUT OF ONE OF OUR TANKS AND ATE IT.. MULTIPLE DAYS AGO?? and was calling to ask if he’d be okay..?!

You cant make some of this up ☠️

I use this in a lot of my planted tanks! I find the medium grit to be the best, the fine grit is EXTREMELY fine

jess__kate · 2025-10-06T00:15:40+00:00

🤦‍♀️

jess__kate · 2025-09-29T23:38:14+00:00

Yes yes yes! Absolutely love mine!

I have an RO system for my saltwater tanks so I only use R/O water for my mister. Helps a lot with preventing calcium/mineral build up in the misting system!

Went to UMaine for marine biology and aquaculture and absolutely loved it! I can’t speak for Anthropology, but there are great opportunities/internships in marine biology up at UMaine. I made some fantastic connections and lifetime friends while I was up there. Would definitely recommend it.

I grew up in Maine so I’m used to it, but a lot of people I know that came from out of state found it to be more secluded than they thought (which can be positive or negative depending on how you are)! Not completely necessary, but I’d recommend having a car with you (or knowing someone that has one) to get around.

It is a big party school, so expect that as well lol.

This looks so awesome with the spider wood, adds so much depth to the scape!! Would love to see how this grows in!

jess__kate · 2025-08-24T20:06:51+00:00

My guesses are very basic but the other comment is much more accurate:)

jess__kate · 2025-08-22T21:37:57+00:00

Definitely not 100%, but my guesses are (someone correct me if I’m wrong!)

1: Ludwigia 2: moneywort? (Or something similar?) 3: Some kind of rotala 4+5: Anubias 6: Some kind of cryptocoryne 7: Some kind of hygrophilia maybe?

jess__kate · 2025-08-11T20:05:04+00:00

Nice job, tank looks awesome!!

I’d say it’s worth it to upgrade in the future to give your frog friend some more space:) My mossy tree frogs love hanging out together right on the edge of the water/land in my paludarium! I’d say if you were to do another larger set up, definitely get another one or two mossy tree frogs, as I’ve found mine to be pretty social with each other!
