Nick I would get rid of the fake plant but add a lot of leaf litter, Indian Almond leaves, Oak leaves and the like. They need lots of tannen in the water and the leaves will help with that as well as give it the proper environment to trully feel safe and comfortable. As the tank is I would only give it a 4 max 5. Also for the next time you want to add driftwood to a tank get a trashcan, completely clean and disinfected, and soak if long before you add it. It should already be waterlogged and not floating before you add it to a tank.
If possible, get rid of the fake plants and put in leaf litter, especially on the bottom of the tank. The reason matamata turtles look like that is because it camouflages themselves from their prey. They pretend to be leaves on the bottom of the rivers they inhabit in order to catch quick, little fish. Giving him nothing but bright sand makes him stand out like a sore thumb
Hello, I have a question: is an LED lamp absolutely necessary in a water turtle aquarium? Not talking about the UVB lamp but to cycle the water, because I have brown algae that have appeared since the impoundment of his new aqua and it's impossible to get rid of it.. the aqua is not directly under sunlight for your information Thanks in advance !
The setup is already amazing but adding live plants would bring it to another level! Epiphyte Plants like Anubias and some easy rooted plants like wisteria would really make it look more like a natural environment
Hi I have no idea if you will see this but here goes , I rescued a beautiful red eared slider about 6 inches in size she was not in too bad a shape but came with a bunch of her habitat bits and peace’s one of them is the same large filter rock you put in you tank . Now my question is do you have any idea where a replacement internal filter pump could be found this one has no way of being a filter with out the inside pump ? I have enjoyed your videos and they have helped me with a number of questions so thank you Take care. Jacquie
I’d give it a 6/10 add some live plants. You can get leaves on Amazon for like 5 bucks and put the, in the tank for him to hide in other than that it’s a cool tank.
Hey Nick,, Great Job On The New Turtle Tank..I Would Love To See Some More Videos Of You Going Out & Catching New Fish,, Especially For The New Huge Pond. 🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙
id give it a solid 8 because its really cool but to make it a 10/10 add like a few live plante i love your vids watch them all every single day you upload keep up the good work mate
It’s a actually bad tank. It’s not filled to the top which is vital for turtles. Also, just because it’s from a “turtle kit” doesn’t mean that it’s sustainable for one. A turtle that can grow large should have at least 70-100ish gallons (in a wide tank.) It’s definitely an upgrade and nice looking though.
@@smashbrosguyt915 but one thing your not realizing is he keeps upgrading the enclosure as the turtle keeps growing its temporary for now I’m sure one day he will go in the big pond in the back yard he’s still small yet though
@@mattbrownvideos4988 It’s always (mostly) better to have them in a tank that they will grow in as to reduce stress. Also, not sure if he’s going to release it to the backyard pond or not considering how exotic it is. If he does though I’d be fine with that has the pond has a nice ecosystem.
beneficial bacteria isnt in the water you get more beneficial bacteria using rocks or old substrate from old tanks only think in the water bacteria wise is ick.
@@FishyTomato- unfortunately they’re just using each other for views. Nick truly knows absolutely nothing, it’s sad. Large majority of his animals die within weeks
Your Tide Pool Videos Are Always So Good,, Especially Things That You Can Add To Your Tanks..What's Even Better Is Never Know What You Might Find & Could Be Something Epic.
Hey Nick! Awesome video! I wanted to let you know about a channel that’s looking to rehome their Blue Cod. The fish happens to be the blue cod from Predatory Fins. It was given to them as a gift from the person Rod gave some of his large groupers to when he left for NY. The channel is called “Barbs Buzzin (The Fish Guys)”. Hope you can check it out cause I think it’d make a great addition to the pond! Anyways, great video and hope you have a great day man 😁
I would suggest replacing the wire mesh shelves of the shelving unit with 3/4" plywood. I have done that with all of mine and it works great. Use metal screws to go through the wood into the horizontal metal span.
You Took The Thought & Words Right Out Of My Mouth..They Are Great Shelving Units,, But Absolutely Need The Ply,, Even If You Just Use 1/4 Ply To Lay On Top,, It Makes It Sturdier & Much Easier Moving Things Around..But With His Having Heavy Tanks Etc. On Them,, Your Suggestion Is Spot On..I Am A Retired Construction Contractor,, So Naturally I Immediately Thought The Same Thing As You Did.
@@aoifedowdall2842 he had the Mata Mata for over a year and ofcourse he isn't t going to do updating videos everytime he gets a new animal he saw how his new fish was eating in the last video
nice video nick keep up the good work.. I'm sure some haters will have something negative to say how this isn't the right setup.. the hobby is to enjoy and you learn as you go.. mistakes will be made so be easy ppl Good job nick
I honestly love them type of filters for animals that do not need deep fast flowing water. I have java moss growing on mine though. It's only growing cuz I made a fence of sorts, so my turtle can't just eat all, or rip off the filter so easy. The goal is for her to snack on it if she wants to, and to put small pond snails in there as well for her hunt down and snack on.

So cool
I love you bro but a 1 it could be a lot better
You should add your bamboo shark to your large saltwater pond
I love it so much 10/10 love you all
Nicer back round.

Good bacteria doesn't live in the water, it lives on surfaces such as the sand and in the filter.
U r correct in that bacteria lives on surfaces such as sand and filter but it also lives in the water to
@@Gallantcailyn sorry but it doesn't
@@brazzr maybe not in freshwater but in saltwater yes.
Good bacteria does live in the water as well as surfaces, sand and the filter like you said

Looks pretty high quality Nick! What do u think the price point was around?
Put some leafs in his tank and he’ll be a lot more happier that’s what they do in the wild
What if we do 6000 gallon freshwater pond? And we get mini freshwater pond? That would be epic

I rated a 8/10

Nick can’t even keep live plants alive, let alone live animals. Every animal he gets is destined for death
You should add like more to the tank like flowers and more rocks.BUT Nick great job!I love your videos and hard work to catch eels and fish!:D
Nice new home for the turtle 🐢
FIRST and I love your vids👁👄👁❤️❤️
7/10 rated
a nice piece of driftwood a few pebbles and a lot of leaves on the bottom would have looked a lot more natural and pretty.
Awesomeness
9/10 the artificial plants kinda threw me off 😂
It's exciting to see you building out the garage with new aquariums and animal enclosures 🙂
Over 💯

You should eventually get a 55 gallon lowboy since it has a shallow water lwvel but a huge sudrace area
I Like Turtles
I like potatoes
How awesome would it look on a bigger scale though, 2x longer 2x wider and 2x higher
true i agree with brazzr
Add another turtle filter
i really love youre videos they always hype me up even in bad times :)
Like it
looks nice!
I like turtles
I like yoghurt
Wow nice editing but can you do a recap on the 3 baby turtles you got?
