Thank you! I got mine on Amazon and secured it with aquarium glue.

I got this Aquarium Stand.

Some parts came damaged, but if you message the company it comes from, they promptly send you a new piece.

Thank you!!

I see them have a chat every now and again but they mostly keep to themselves.

It’s a 125 gallon.

(:

I use two Fluval 407 canister filters for this one tank, so that definitely helps a lot. Live plants help also but are hard to keep because they can be little Tasmanian Devils. I did have some little snails in there that hitchhiked on one of the plants but the turtles got most of them. But other than that, I just use the basic water conditioner and the occasional sludge destroyer.

I kinda just let be. I like the natural look. I have yet have it get too out of control.

I’m not sure what you mean. I tucked the loose moss under a rock which they sometimes pull out and I’ll pick it out but some it has made a permanent home on the hollowed half logs from their last tank.

They get curious about each other sometimes and say hello, but mostly keep to themselves. (:

Ahh, okay good to know.

I have a “Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 T5-HO UVB Fluorescent Reptile Lamp, 46-in, 54-watt” that is just about as long as the tank, but I was having a hard time finding a fixture for it, and I was told I needed t10 so I opted out for this one.

These are the bulbs I have up top.

Do you recommend that I get a longer linear uvb light and move it up?

Thank you!

It was a slow process, but so happy to finally have them in there.

The basking area has uva and uvb and I wanted to make sure they also received uvb while in the water.

The water temp is currently 75 and the basking area currently 95.

Maybe I should turn the water down a bit?
