4 red ear sliders, 2 maps, 3 razorback musk turtles and I just added 50lbs of play sand that I rinsed 25lbs at a time in a 5 gallon bucket 10 times with a hose then drained to get the majority of the sediment and lighter dust out of it. They just scooped in into the tank slowly. Also added 4 peppered cory catfish and YES the turtles are chasing them relentlessly but so far they've survived a day

  • How is your Razorback Musk doing with the sand? Any issues?

  • @LeafDHNine They LOVE the sand. They usually bury themselves about halfway up their shells in it and just chill and sometimes sleep in it.

  • where you buy the sand?

  • @dummy395 hardware store

  • It's good to see another hobbyist out there providing their turtles with a proper set up. I see way too many wrong set ups online and everywhere else. I love the sand, I'm really considering to put sand in my tank now. What kind of filter are you running on your tank?

  • @Boneyman It has a wet/dry bio-ball trickle system with a 700 GPH pump, about a 30 gallon sump tank underneath. Thanks!

  • To clean the sand you only need a syphen works pretty good actually btw nice tank I still need to uprgrads mine for my 4 turtles 5/5
