  • Aquascape Tutorial: Baby Turtle Mini Pond (How To Full Step By Step Guide, Planted Aquarium)
    I've wanted to do this for a while and it's kind of just practice for a bigger version I have planned for when Timmy has grown more. Can't wait for that!!!
    All plants originally from Tropica but been recycled from the previous setup.

    I think this turned out very well. Won't be long though before we need to upgrade. This was kind of practise for that and a first go at a pond build. Thanks for watching guys :)

  • @MDFishTanks
    @MDFishTanks  4 роки тому +153

    A few points and concerns:
    There is plenty of room for basking on the edges of the island, and lots of areas for Timmy to perch on with his body out the water (musk turtles are crazy good climbers) and could trample the whole thing if he chooses haha
    The UVB bulb was added at a distance because it is a very powerful bulb which also produces heat. Moving it closer would actually be bad for Timmy.
    The room is heated so the water sits at the correct temperature.

    • @caitlinmaynell2780
      @caitlinmaynell2780 4 роки тому +7

      its too small a tank, they can get quite big and need a minimum of 10 gallons per inch of shell. A 1 inch big turtle should have ten gallons, a 10 inch needs at least 100 gallons. As he grows he'll need an upgrade or his growth will be stunted and he could die prematurely. Otherwise it's a lovely tank and beautiful design (so long as there definitely are areas to come out and bask in warmth)

      Yeah, but then he said “we call it HomeBase”- that hurt 😂 HomeBase is a franchise that sells home decor and the odd bit of raw materials. B&Q is probably more of the typical “Hardware Store” kinda brand. I’m mentioning this because 1: it’s 1am 2: in the UK we don’t really generalise like that, we just say the name of the brand / location. This has been my TED Talk...

    I'm not sure how much basking time is necessary for that turtle but you may want to consider a heat bulb as well since most if not all basking turtles need to dry off completely to avoid shell rot. Also, Timmy might avoid basking because there is no difference in temperature and therefore won't get the necessary UVB. Aside from that great pond, it looks beautiful.

    • @MDFishTanks
      @MDFishTanks  4 роки тому +6
