Lost a turtle to the leaf trap
« on: September 12, 2015, 09:23:02 AM »
It is rare, but it happens. I've tried screens in front of the trap. But that presents problems as well. Massive build up of gunk and more maintainence.  Is there an easy fix?

If I check the trap daily it would help. But that won't happen.
I have had small fish survive in the leaf trap. Even in the priming pot.
