  • Could have more room, but nice setup.

  • All that filtration and your water is filthy. I had two turttles that size in a 40 gal tank holding 30 gal of water with a two gal filter with ten times less media and the water stayed crystal clear. Maybe you need to change it more often, or use clean water.

  • hi, very imfomative video.where do you get your materialfrom,talkig about those panels you use to seperate your bioballs from your rock,thanks, den

  • @cross7fu Yes u can,,, if they are small and grew up together my friend has one but if its big alredy u cant its gonna kill the res

  • @dannylu0ng haha

  • @cross7fu lol you said never to keeping a RES with a snapper, and never to keeping two snapper's together, but you did both of them yourself, lol

  • With all that filtration your tank looks real durty. I had two turttles in a 40 gal with a home made filter that kept the water crystal clear. The filter was a 2 gal juice jug with the top rempved. It had ceramic tubes followed by a 210 gal hr pump with socks of ammonia and carbon on top followed by filter pads. filter media did'nt need cleaning for two months.

  • Great video. I'm trying my second turtle tank. Could you check it out sometime? I'm stunned about how cool yours is. Thanks

  • @shorteeayy I have no idea actually, the nitro-cycle will be formed eventually so I just put my turtles in within few days after the filter is set up, and because theres a lot of water in the tanks and filter, the water was not cloudy or smelly through the process
