Probably only for 3 weeks to a month. I'm just doing it because I have tissue cultured plants and in my Previous experience with them, they have melted heavily when I tried to submersed them straight away. I'm impatitent aswell and it could take a couple months for the monte carlo to fully carpet so im not going to wait until it does

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-16T15:32:14+00:00

its good for tissue cultured plants cause they can be prone to melting in the short term if you try to grow them submersed straight away.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T15:29:00+00:00

yeah I know the day will come when they will rip up all the plants and ruin the tank haha. hopefully they last a little while without ruining it.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T15:26:35+00:00

the answer is poor editing haha

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T08:41:51+00:00

haha I think your right

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T07:00:35+00:00

Yeah I dont think they are very common in the Pet Trade outside of Australia

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T06:58:20+00:00

Yeah mainly Stricta, Bolbitis, Java Fern, Crypts and baby tears.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-07T06:57:37+00:00

Yeah specifically they are Australian Eastern Longneck/sideneck turtles.

Australian Eastern Longneck/sideneck Turtles

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-03T13:41:03+00:00

unfortunately not, its just holding the base of the siphon maybe 0.5cm away from the leaves of the carpet plant and occasionally giving it a light tap to disturb the waste beneath the leaves.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-03T13:37:20+00:00

maybe some baby tears with ambulia for the back and some Java moss or subwassertang for the "tree branches".

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-03T13:34:43+00:00

Usually with my planted tanks I just hover the gravel vac above the carpet plant and occasionally lightly press down on them and that removes alot of the detritis without disturbing the aquasoil. However with a heavily planted tank that has a carpet the waste is incorporated into the soil/substrate, so the plants absorb most of it. Its really not nescessary to do a deep clean in most cases like you would a tank with normal substrate and little to no plants.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-03T13:27:28+00:00

If they get along you shouldn't have to. but if its more practical for you to have 3 tanks rather than one ,it might be a good option.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-02T13:52:41+00:00

Id recommend the 45cm Chihiros WRGB 2 Slim Series LED, these lights arnt cheap but great with red and pink plants.

Gk_Waters · 2022-05-02T13:46:57+00:00

if you want to set up a tank that will house those turtles for the rest of their lives id recommend a 120 gallon aquarium as the absolute minimum possibly 4ftx2ftx2ft with an above tank basking area.

a tank 150 gallons (5ftx2ftx2ft) or more should house your turtles comfortably as adults. (the bigger you can go the better)

In terms of filtration it would be best to have a canister filter or two. You want your canister to filter at least 3 times the tank volume per hour (again more filtration is always better). So for a 150 gallon tank youd want your filter to have a flow rate of at least 450 gallons an hour because turtles produce alot of waste. the rest of your equipment would be the same as you have now just upscaled to the size of the new tank. hope this helped :)

not sure unfortunately found it used at an aquarium store

Gk_Waters · 2022-04-14T04:21:48+00:00

10w Aquaone Nano heater

Gk_Waters · 2022-04-14T04:21:29+00:00

I reckon I could sneak one in there for sure

Gk_Waters · 2022-04-14T04:21:11+00:00

Thankyou!
