my new turtle tank setup

[jaelynnful]

you need more water in your tank

[POW3R1995]

what did you make your basking area out of ?

[IVIoNsTa360gaming]

dude get a ground like pebbles or something looks better and turtles like it better

[MILLIEWOW1]

@IVIoNsTa360gaming ghe pro dosnt have one b cuz pebbels art good for them bcuz they can swallow them and choke but some larger river rocks might b nice

[lollipopgirlzchacha]

what kind of filter do you use and does it keep the water clear and clean

[xbrittxunlovedx]

For a 30 gallon tank it can have 1 3in turtle or 3 1in turtles. Too many turtles for just one 30 gallon tank.

[drunkdivamariahcarey]

repti GLO LAST FOR ONE YEAR.

[mrb3n]

@hobomagic1 - Buy him some complete turtle diet pellets & then things like fish (tinned fish), prawns, fruit & things as treats etc. You can also put some veg & dandilion leaves etc in your tank. Wash them first though. And just so you know, Goldfish are not a good food idea for your turtle as they are very filling and fatty, but have very little nutritional value, so keep off the goldfish. :-)

[jhood87]

@hobomagic1 If he doesn't want to eat them, there's nothing wrong or harmful about that. There are definitely the necessary amounts of protein and calcium, among other nutrients in the better commercially packaged pellets. Goldfish are actually not very good for turtles, they aren't very nutritious and have something that blocks calcium absorption for your turtle. The guppies would be fine for him to eat, along with minnows.

[Smallvill2012]

It is illegal to have the size of those turtles so be carfull

[jhood87]

@Smallvill2012 It's illegal to SELL those sized turtles, not own them. If his adult sliders had babies, there would be turtles that size. ;) Let's assume that's how he got them.

[caramelslider298]

@jhood87 gosh what is all the fuss with turtles it s not like if you look at them you will get salmonella

[mrb3n]

@jhood87 - Illegal? Where? Not in the UK it isnt. Most places selling turtles are selling them as babies, not adults. Ive never seen large adult turtles in a pet shop or aquatic centre for sale. I got both my Yellow Belly Sliders when they were fairly young babies. ABout the size of a 50 pence piece. Nothing illegal about that.

[TheFishKeeper100]

i want a turtle! but first i need to sell my piranhas i think, but check my tank on my video and tell me how much gravel i need to buy, if i need a dock,if so where, any fake plants, more stones,or any information plz tell me i rly want a turtle! i have a fluval 206 filter that was expensive so i think i can keep the tank clean, plz tell me what turtle i can have, and look at my tank on my channel so it will be easyer for u to give me info, plz reply quick wanna sell my piranhas.

[jhood87]

@TheFishKeeper100 DO NOT BUY ANY GRAVEL. It is VERY harmful to turtles because it is small enough to eat but too big to pass through their system. They would be at serious risk in a tank with gravel.

[tekdek97]

i love ur tank setup it is amazing haha were did u get the big rocks??

[avisaltic]

@kezzer30 iv seen your tank you seem to sya alot of stuf but i think your water on you tank is two high for your turtles and the currnt to strong

[eric18603yankees]

@avisaltic turtles require alot of room to swim. i have a 40 gallon filled all the way to top with a above tank basking area and he has no problems swimming or getting up the bask. just because the tank is 20-40-55 gallons doesnt mean that is what it is, when you only fill it half way or less. 1inch of the shell requires 10 gallons of water..10 full gallons

[jhood87]

@eric18603yankees You should be filling it to around 3/4 of the tank, if you can't fill it higher.

[jhood87]

@avisaltic It's actually more dangerous for turtles to be in shallow water. They are natural swimmers, but in water that isn't at bare minimum, two inches or so higher than their shell is long, they are at risk of flipping over and drowning because they can't right themselves. In normal conditions, with adequate water, they could simply swim down to turn.

[rex43455]

i love tha setup but im more of a box turtle man myself

[rex43455]

i ownly own box turtles but i give it a 100/100 realy nice work plz take care of ur turtles like this guy

[ooglyboogly1000]

=\=po['o

[chrisfentress13]

cool tank

[chadmrw]

fill that tank right up and build an above tank platform

[TBinGwood07]

What is the material that you used for the sunlight area. i cant find anything really good to use.

[player11900]

my turtles would domanate that tan i have them in a 30 gallon it looks like your how do yu keep the water so clean i have the same type of filter you have but it still gets realy dirty

[flagracer11]

NICE!!!5/5

[blackzip661]

wont the turtles fall of the sunlight place

[colin4810]

you need more water mate!

[simonXtobias]

no he doesnt. When they are so small they only need that much water

[mranimalkeeper]

nice basking area

!

[canucksfan816]

woah thats a pretty awesome tank y'got there xD

[wiseboy95]

Why did you put gold fish it will make your turtle's beatiful shelter dirty by pooping everwhere

[Kramyar06]

KAWAII :D

[YrretNivels]

dude fucking 20/10 thats like 10 times better than mine ima steal it....jk can someone help me on how to get a vid from my camera to my laptop on to youtube?

[silversoldierz]

do u have a heater?

[CPdaniel1357]

O_o is that cardboard? If it is, take it out. Its O.K, but certainly not the best choice. You should go to a pet shop and buy a floating turtle dock. I suggest ZooMed because it is cheap and it looks cool, too. And I also suggest you put the thermometer in the corner. Turtles tend to break the glass and the water gets toxined by the fluid inside. Beesides that, nice tank setup you got there!

[apple2iphone]

nice vid, good setup

[nielzyman]

ow okay then ist good

[nielzyman]

6 Red eared slider turtles?

they will get a lengt of 30cm:S

.you need a BIG tank

[xkillerx]

i have a big big koi pond outside for them when they are bigger

[mrb3n]

@xkillerx - So you have your pond heated do you? That must cost you a fortune.

[TheRES74]

@xkillerx is ur uvb a light bulb or tube? I want to get a UVB light bulb but people say it doesnt last long.

[362stuart]

what size is your tank length x height x width?

[WazUpMooMoo]

were did u get that stuff for the dock it looks coolio

[saltlife72]

sure the 10 gallon per inch rule is good to go by. but seriously. its not completely necessary. im not saying to put a 6 inch turtle in a ten gallon tank. but at the pet store theres like 30 RES in a tank that couldnt be more than 150 gallons. granted theyre small. but still. the 10 gallon rule isnt always correct.

[blahboi27]

waay too small for all of these animals to be in one tank.. There has to be 10 gallons of water for every inch of shell on EACH turtle. Having six three inch turtles means you should have AT LEAST 180 gallons of water..

[marshall6757]

is this big enough for them

[Brittanysarah22]

best setup ive ever seen in my lifee.... sooo coooooolll.

[Brittanysarah22]

what size tankk and where did you get thefilter.... realllllyyyy coool setupp

[flagracer11]

OOOOOOO i luv it

[BIGFACE08]

do them turtles go bigger and y dont u get sum siemanse fightin fish

[xkillerx]

hmm, how do you feed him ?

[harminoff1]

those feeder fish are huge

[carpcatcher1992]

Nice lookin tank you got there mate.

[ewabeach76south]

nice

[fo0tballman30]

what kind of filter is that and can you send me a message on where you got all your stuff thanks

[occoror]

Is that Cardboard in the tank :o

[charlottelouisexxxxx]

beautiful tank x

[redearslider09]

where did u buy the grates to make the basking site?

[edunsnootrac]

what is that stuff you made the dock out of? and where did you get it?

[veni187]

very well done

[BigBruiser76]

what kind of lights do u have?. name all of them ,and the watts ,for the uvb ones

[xkillerx]

i am using an outdoor light as my heat lamp and im using the repti-glo 5.0 26watts

[jbjy]

what kind of filter u have? the water is very clear

[xkillerx]

its the tetra whisper 40i

[Techsino]

nice tank :}

[BigBruiser76]

what kind of filter is that. i have the 10i

[xkillerx]

40i

[mhs90]

did you make the basking dock on your own or did you buy one? if so, from where did you buy it?

[xkillerx]

i made it myself you can see my other video it teaches you how to make it

[petraiserdude26]

PLEASE teach me hot to make that basking area? pls reply

[dumaaaaaa]

lol so i just got some baby turtles (ive only dealt with adults)

how long did it take till yours started eating?

[xkillerx]

well I fed them the day after I got them and they fed like 3 turtle sticks broken down into 3 pieces per stick.

[dumaaaaaa]

im setting up my tank with a temporary setting tomorrow ill make a intro vid once i get my uvb bulb

[dumaaaaaa]

i give it a.. 4

[xkillerx]

why cause there isnt enough water ?

[dumaaaaaa]

nah cus in my opinion a 10/10 is like a planted river setting ^^

mine are probably 4 too lol

[xkillerx]

if you have done your research then you would know that your not suppose to have plants with turtles cause they will eat them....

[dumaaaaaa]

if only you knew.. water lettuce, anarchis, moneywort, they are all fine and is a vit a supplement to turtles..

[xkillerx]

yeah i know that and i dont think you could keep plants in there for only so long until your turtles eats it...

[dumaaaaaa]

course it will eat it, thats why you take clippings and grow them (outside) and re-introduce every so often

[xkillerx]

that works too, but only in the spring and summer time if i brought my plants outside they would probably die cause its so cold

[dumaaaaaa]

well i know for anarchis you can just let them live in a bowl near the windows.. really they can live at any temperature higher than 40F lol

[xkillerx]

lmfao then it wont survive where i live

[dumaaaaaa]

even indoors?

[xkillerx]

it depends in which room indoor =\ its really cold here

[dumaaaaaa]

lol the warmest.

[xkillerx]

i think the warmest was like 7C

[Guapotheturtle]

i really like ur setup, i wish i could do something like this with mine but my turtles are to big and so is the tank hah, im thinkin about just making a basking spot out of the tank and a ramp going up to it so i can fill the entire tank tho...55 long gallon (look on my channel if u want =D)

[funcola123]

u got a cool ass aquarium

[muskieman451]

is the enter thing on the basking area made of cardboard??? any 10 out of ten if i were the fish i wouldnt sleep :)) lol

[xkillerx]

nope its a regular tile

[muskieman451]

oh ok

[muskieman451]

wait what and how did you make the dock? and i subed

[lChozenKevinl]

any other way than using that grid square thing

[xkillerx]

yes you take the milk crates or somthing im pretty sure if you use very good styrophone or even driftwood that floats if you want and you can probably tie the driftwood down so it wont move

[lChozenKevinl]

i subed

[lChozenKevinl]

howd u make the dock?

[xkillerx]

sub and ill tell you

[charzarg]

hey you know i told you about that shop near me what sells fish n stuff?? well they're opening a reptile section!!! XD including RES and YBS XD

[xkillerx]

cool

[charzarg]

I know!!! but they're gonna be like 40 pounds :(

Thats like 80 dollars :S :(

[charzarg]

hey, another one of my fishies died today :o :'(

It was the whiptail catfish, and the pleco was like, sucking it's body :s

Also, when another fish tried to come and take a nibble, the pleco chased them off.

I thought plecos were peaceful :S

Do i have an evil one?? Or are they normally like this??

Please speak to me!!!

ps: How was your vacation??

[charzarg]

psst. check your channel comments XD

[atomicman4]

what kind of filter and heater do you use?

[xkillerx]

i use a submersible heater 50watts

[xkillerx]

i use a tetra whisper 40

[icekamal]

u said rate out out of 10 so im givein it 10 out of 10, and how much did ur tank cost nice video

[xkillerx]

oh thanks the tank was only 25 bucks everything else was free except the turtles fishes filter heater and airpump but it wouldnt cost alot to make a tank like this

[icekamal]

where did u get the tank from

[xkillerx]

my dad's friends petstore =) i use another tank now its in the video responce if you havent seen it and dont forget to subscribe =)

[icekamal]

10 uta 10 so how much did the tank cost i need 2 get a bigger tank for my baby turtle

[xkillerx]

sorry i dont understand what you just wrote please retype it with more grammer

[dalsch]

Hey I love it. I have 5 yellow bellied sliders and some of them are getting too heavy for the dock that I bought at the pet store. Thanks for the cool idea to do a homemade dock. I think homemade things are better anyway.

[xkillerx]

oh cool if you wanna learn how to make my dock then goto my video responce if you want to ask any questions just msg me and dont forget to subscribe

[stephenharperbest2]

cool, turtle and goldfishes cool together

[xkillerx]

haha yeah

[iDanceQ]

what type of turtle

MAD tank how did you make the food/basking thing not the rocks the other one .

[xkillerx]

goto my videoresponce for this video it teaches you how to make it i hope it helps and dont forget to SUBSCRIBE !

[iDanceQ]

yeah i suscribed LOL

thanks man your a good help :D

[109cy]

its nice..i think u should raise the water a little so the fishes could have more room to move..

[xkillerx]

watch my new video then tell me and plus i know alot about turtles so dont tell me whats wrong and right you can ask frank if you like

[charzarg]

frank? who's frank XD

[xkillerx]

what are you talking about

[charzarg]

lol never mind XD

[109cy]

this is nice..

[charzarg]

awsome XD what do you feed them? I herd feed turtles meat and fish foods can make them more aggressive. vegatables and plant based foods keep them more placid. is that true? how many turtles do you havE? how big do they get? are the tropical or cold water. because i thought they were tropical, but aren't those coldwater goldfish in there with them? sorry for asking so many questions. I might get some turtles.

[xkillerx]

oh no problem ppl always ask me questions i feed them salmon cod tuna pellets betta's and other fishes =P i give them romain lettuce once every now and then.

i have 6 but then my friend gave me one of his cause it was about to die and it died a few weeks back so i have 6 now and it is living with 7 fishes 4 feeder goldfishes 2gouramis or however you spell it and 2 rainbow sharks and 1 betta which im using to feed them with.

they are more tropical but can adapt well id keep the temp 80F-86F

[charzarg]

At the moment I have a tropical setup:

2 Gouramis.

1 Freshwater Angel

1 Whiptail Catfish

2 Pim pictus

But my brother has a tank too, and we often trade and give eachother fish.

So are turtles better in tropical conditions??

[turlesRfun]

nice setup i think im going to mod mine with a larger basking spot

[xkillerx]

thanks but this is my old set up my new set up is in the video responce

[scruff127]

i have the same filter its great

[xkillerx]

the 40 gallon one ? well i dont like it cause its not strong enough to clean 6turtles and 6fishes that eat like theres no tomorrow

[scruff127]

ino what u mean and i have only two turtles.i mean its quiet tho but not after they eat like fish or something

[Riseup91]

dude i really like the set up and btw thanks u gave me ideas for mine

[xkillerx]

local pet shop or store

[fo0tballman30]

what is the basking area made out of and where did u get the tank

[xkillerx]

that is my home made dock i made it myself and later today i will make a video of it so you guys can learn how how make it as well !

[murkedincorporated]

hey can u make a vid of ur basking area?

[xkillerx]

yes in a day or so i will make a vid cause alot of people have been asking me about that

[murkedincorporated]

were did u get the background to their tank?

[xkillerx]

i got the background from my lps its a saltwater theme one

[murkedincorporated]

ohh i just saw the ending of ur vid and ur turtles have the same thing.... i was just worried because this is my 1st time haveing a res but we had 1 when i was like 4 and he was missing a leg.. duno how it happend we saw him on the road and we took him home cuz he was injord but annyways i was just worried because on other vids peoples turtles dont have that little line down their turtles shell....

[xkillerx]

oh you mean the 2 white dots that are scratches ?

[murkedincorporated]

its more of a line from the front of their shell kinda to the middle...

[murkedincorporated]

i have a question 4 u.... i have 2 baby res and both of them have a little white line down their shell not all the way down their shell it kinda looks like some of the shell got scratched and theirs white under the shell.. plz reply

[xkillerx]

hmm maybe you should get a doctor turtle that is a white block that you put in your water and it releases calcium and stuff and make sure your turtles get uvb or direct sunlight and make sure they dont stay in the water all the time

[repeater08]

damnnice set up i gotta setup with rocks and crap like that but it a bitch cleaning so i was thinknig about doing something like urs cpet use cork bark i got a baby res and a miss map i just had a couple of ?'s how did u do that lighting it looks like u use a reg basking light and florescent light how did u do that setup and also how do the turtles do in deep water i heard that they can drown in deep water

[xkillerx]

actually nope the light i am using for the heat is a outside light thats used in my front yard, and i am using a purple-ish light and for the uvb light i use the reptisun 5.0 26w compact light and actually RES love to swim and your suppose to have 1gallon of water per inch of turtle. LOL and it isnt really a bitch cleaning the rocks i have a special vaccume made for cleaning up water and stuff and i just lift up one rock and put the vaccume sucker thing in and it sucks everything in =P

[gmoney147852]

nice but iwarn you from experience if u put more water u are gonna neen to get a bigger filter and probably a canister filter the cheapest one is 80 bucs from pet smart but it keep watter crystal clear for like a month with a half water cahnge every 2 week or so but nice work

[xkillerx]

that one is working pretty fine but my moms friend who had like huge arowanas and jpn koi has a few fluval 304,404 and such and he might give me one so yeah dont worry i have some experience as well ty for the tip tho =)

[nerice6]

I like the set-up. Where did you get the material for the dock? I'm just thinking about what I'm going to do when my turtles get bigger and I need to upgrade my tank. =)

[xkillerx]

thanks i spent 2 hours designing it,i just used the white plastic thing with the squares as you can see that i use to support it and block the heater i just simply put some tiles over it and the tiles are rough so they can grip their claws into it and my turtles love it because my basking light warms up the tile so they can dry off and stay warm at the same time its really easy to make all you need is the plastic which you can find in most petstores. i will make a vid of the dock and show you

[millmanturtle]

awsome and sooooooo Cute!

[xkillerx]

hah thanks

[millmanturtle]

your welcome!

[pellsandpeetie]

Awesome!

[xkillerx]

thanks =P

[pellsandpeetie]

Dude that is soo awesome! did you make all of that?

[xkillerx]

yep i spent 2 hours making the place where they bask and i spent the whole day at the beach finding the rest of the stuff =P

[azncutie13]

ooooo pretty!

[babyHEARTx]

OMG LOL THE TURTLEE IS SO CUTE AND TINY o.o

[s3che]
