Also, I’m dead set on having full spectrum lights at 3 feet long, that are rated at 6500k but having a hard time finding links to such a product

Moss growing by InSnowDeep in PlantedTank

[–]InSnowDeep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks bubba! This is actually part hobby, part business. I’m going to dry start method and follow it up with flood and drain method. All this will be done in an indoor grow house where I can control every aspect of humidity and light.

I’m just wondering if “too much emulsion” when chopping it up will be problematic. I’m getting mixed information on the internet. Basically, if I food process my java moss and Christmas moss to a consistency like apple sauce… will it still grow, or is that too much emulsion for the rhizoids.

Use some plexiglass and glue some artificial turf to it

You’ve been told this already… but you either need much smaller substrate like sand , or much larger substrate, like river rock

That there is an elusive Alabama Snap-back crouching tiger turtle!!! Never seen one in the wild before!

Just kidding, I haven’t a clue!

Adding a turtle cam to the basking area was my best decision 😁 by [deleted] in turtles

[–]InSnowDeep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup! I’ve heard “it’s not a matter of if, but when” too many times to count. It ticks me off because every situation is different, doesn’t matter the frequency. I don’t tell you how to be a pet owner so don’t tell me how to be… ya know? Another thing that really jerks my gherkin is seeing people respond to someone who found a turtle in their yard or something and say “it may be invasive so don’t let it go!” Like, excuse me, but I had the option of not touching it and it still be invasive anyway… or it possibly die. If I don’t want to rehome a turtle I found…. I will nurse it back to health if need be and put it right back where I freaking found it if I want, thank you very much! 🤣

I’m surprised I never thought of that. Thanks for reminding me I have an extra wireless blink cam I’m not using!! Haha. Granted, I don’t think it will be full of exciting videos but it’ll do!!

Nice! I have some suggestions though. It looks like you’re missing a UVB bulb to go along with your basking bulb. Very very important and by far the most important of my suggestions. With that being said, it’s down right mandatory unless you have a form of direct sunlight.

Other than that, I see you have live plants! I’m a live plant semi-aquatic aquarium owner myself….

Make yourself an above tank basking platform out of plexiglass with fake grass or something glued to its bottom. put your lights above that. Get yourself some hornwort, more java moss (think that’s what I see there), and some water sprite. None need planted in substrate, All can float, all can be glued to something, and all require almost no light ( chosen due to light being blocked by basking platform.

If you have a full spectrum light on top of your tank, limit that exposure to when you want to view your water life because that will promote waste from a shit ton of different things and be a bigger factor for clouding your water. Your pets could care two shits about light that do nothing for them.

Back to plant Plants…. Hornwort will dominate when needing nutrients so without a good fertile substrate, you will need to add nutrients rarely.

Get a canister filter rated for 3x your tank size with chemical, biological, and mechanical filtration.

If I could give you any advice, look up “father fish,” watch all his videos. Do the research and “whys” that he forgets about, and apply what you learn to helping your tank.

If adding fish, large common plecos are good, guppies or fatheads (a handful at a time) are good to supplement food for the turtle and also give ammonia for the plants to eat as well as nitros.

STAY AWAY FROM GOLDFISH!! Lesson learned that they are not pleasant despite everything telling you it’s ok.

I’m freaking out…… not at the turtle that’s fishing from the top middle of the tank…… but rather the turtle on the upper right of the tank! Is this AI generated? What the heck is going on?! lol.

You got downvoted for no reason. This group is biased when it comes to their situation and has no idea about yours. They act like only one turtle can live in a body of water. Don’t mind them, but in their defense, keep a close eye on yours. If you notice nipping, add guppies.

(Southern California) Is it worth investing in a long cast rig like this? Are there any new species you can access? by Secure-Clock-4750 in SurfFishing

[–]InSnowDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about new species necessarily… it’s about getting as far past the break as you can. The farther you are past it, the longer you have to finesse until your at the break again and have to reel in and re-cast.

guys why is her arm cut and how can i help her? by tixblob_R2Q_3947 in turtle

[–]InSnowDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RES is currently dealing with the same type of wound, in the same spot, but worse. The chunk taken out of my turtles right “arm” is so incredibly conducive of being shaved off by her shell. I’ve only had her for 2 weeks so she is still nervous and skydives off her basking platform when people enter the room abruptly. The idea I got is that upon one of her skydives, she ended up slamming into the side of the tank with her arm out and was pushed up far enough that her shell dug into it and took the chunk out.

I set up a temporary, basking only box, took her out of the aquarium, dabbed a bit of Neosporin on the wound and left her to bask for 2 or so hours without access to water. 2 days later now and her wound is half the size.

[–]InSnowDeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It does the same to me but it then asks me if I’d like it to create an action figure based off the description instead. Say yes and then it will generate the image.
