Anyone else have turtles?
ChadTower:
The turtorials (ha) I've been reading say they get to the size of dinner plates... so they have a way to go. And supposedly they live for decades. So I'd better take decent care of them, they could be the ones that choose my nursing home.
ChadTower:
It's not perfect for them, but it's what we can afford at the moment... plus that's a $150-200 at retail filter alone. The stand matches our living room furniture exactly judging from the picture.

ChadTower:
I'm heading off to get that setup tonight. It may take two trips, though, over two days. In fact I suspect it probably will since I'm moving the stuff in a hatchback.
Gotta say, I haven't managed to get the filtering quite right yet, because the water in there needs to be 75% swapped every night so far because it stinks. I know there's way way too much turtle in the current tank but damn, we come home and the air in the house is rank.
ChadTower:
Turtles are doing well, new setup is great for them, they are much much happier and more active in there.
I think I have to set up an area for one (or both) of them to drop eggs, though... anyone have any advice on this? I'm reading up tutorials left and right but have never done it. I'm thinking a really large rubbermaid bin full of sand and water may do the trick. One of the poor girls is really ready to drop, I suspect, as it's getting very hard to pick her up in order to feed her.
polaris:
reptiles and germs are an issue, i would recommend a hand sanitising spray kept by the tank with some kitchen paper, its a good habit to use it every time you handle the critters or their equipment.
its also quite scary when they shed their skin and you find your daughter eating the skin, but at least with turtles youll be saved from that experience
