red eared slider turtle tank habitat 125 gal custom aquarium

My 125 Gallon turtle tank. Home made canopy, overflow and wet dry bucket trickle filter system, low maintenance and very clean. two red eared slider turtles with 5 gold fish and 5 minnows. Built entire system for about $400, got tank and stand almost free off craigs list, had to reenforce stand and paint black to match decor. Rocks I got from construction left overs (free). They love their new basking area and large area to swim around. Tank is undersized by 15 - 25 gallons of water since its 10 gal for every inch of turle so next tank will need to be bigger once they grow a bit more.

@Tittzy Why is it no one really watches the videos, they just pretent to. If you rewatch it you will notice the plexi was never over the lights that matter for the turtles, it was ONLY over the full spectrum lights. I am no idiot when it comes to turtles and that would be pretty dumb thing to do. Also, if you watch all the videos i posted per this tank you will notice the tank was overhauled again and plexi was removed so i can grow plants. Please take care before posting comments in future.

Nice

[Kennethstupi]

how do you handle your algey problem. i cant put stuff like fake plants in mine because if algey grows on it it is to much of a pain to clean every week. please any advice would help.

Great tank. Your turtles are lucky to have you as a keeper. :)

I really like this, I have nothing on the bottom of my tank, is yours hard to clean inbetween the rocks? Are your plants real or fake, mine try to eat anything I put in the tank, really, anything! They are pigs with shells. How often and how much do you feed yours and how often? Mine are female and 8" from head to tail.

are they aggressive towards eachother in any way?
