    I've heard that it's usually a good idea when moving turtles to a new tank to place them on land instead of directly in the water. That way they'll have more of a chance to hold their breath first if they decide to go into the water on their own.

      It's not holding there breath, it's something else, you'll actually drown a turtle that way if they aren't prepared to go into the water.

    What wattage of basking light did you use so as not to melt the top? I also am re-doing my 55 gl turtle tank for 2 red eared sliders, and a few fish. Thank you

    The new tank looks awesome & the turtles seem to be loving the extra space! Hopefully Midas gets used to navigating around his new digs.

    Probably my favorite tank so far, so cute how Willy and the goldfish are friends! Pluto's lump looks bigger! Keep up the good work!

    What can I say Carson? Your creativity is on another level but I think you need to make the right half of the tank brighter with lights,right now it looks very dark

    Awesome job I have the same tank and was wondering how to make a above basking area for this size tank now I see how you did it. How do you keep the mini deep dome lights from burning the egg crate? Thanks again brother. By the way I enjoy all the videos you post. Keep up the good work

    I'm fairly new to turtle ownership (got my 2 in January) and so glad to see my tank set up is really not that far from yours... I must do something right 😂 also i just got 3 gold fish to put with them today and i also have 4 snails. And started panicking after reading stuff on Google after i put them in 😬...
    I updated their tank to the 55 gallon tank (looks just like yours!) about 2 months or so ago. Now all I need is to make them a basking area cause i have those floating platform so i can't fill the tank all the way to the top
    Now, what i need, is to set up

    You should definitely put another light by the cave so you can see them more when you have the lights on. It turned out so good though! 💕

    For filtration I’d recommend the TopFin Pro 110 gallon hang on the back filter. It’s the biggest version of the one on the Guppy Breeding Tank and the Baby Catfish Tank. That would be my pick.

  • @savage.sadistic.sensationa1184

    Awesome set up

  • @pancakefish
    @pancakefish Před 2 lety +2

    awesome videos dude! i love your fish and turtles! also, Midas appears to be a female, and Junior is a male! they both look to be maturing to breeding age soon too. it would be cool if you let them mate and then you could incubate and hatch the babies and raise them up and see what cool mixed colors they might have.

    @kylierappley4993 Před 2 lety +1

    Curious, do you like the rocks with your turtles? I've read that it can cause issues with the shells, and sand is much softer for them, but I'm curious if it's really a big deal? I love the look of half and half

      At pet stores they will have what they call “vacuum” for tanks and all u have to do is stir up the sand or gravel and just vacuum all that junk out of the aquarium u can either use a bucket to hold the water or put the cord out of the wider/door

  • @Indilee
    @Indilee Před 2 lety

    I've never owned turtles but I adore yours. With Midas' eyesight troubles, do you think he'll figure out the ramp alright or will he need some more training too since he can't see?

  • @deldeek
    @deldeek Před rokem

    This is a nice video , i actually have a 55 Gal fish tank currently have one Convict and one fire mouth, can I still turn it into a turtle tank with these two fish in there ? Also these turtles need to a surface area to breath or they can be under all the time ? Sorry not much educated on turtles 🐢 😃

  • @fathom5549
    @fathom5549 Před 2 lety

    I love the idea of using a basking area, but I would not recommend using reptile carpet, it can snag on claws and can harbour some harmful bacteria, and it’s hard to clean unless you want to replace it constantly. Hopefully this isn’t the case with your turtles, all the best!

    @georgelilly1847 Před 2 lety

    That tank is way to small for 3 turtles you need at least 100 gallons for 3 turtles of that size, and you shouldn't use gravel the turtles can eat it and get impacted. It looks nice but that's not all that matters

    • @CupwakeRBLX

      I would say like 10-15 Buenos Aires Tetras and 3-4 Angelfish. That would prob be a good schooling fish and centerpiece fish setup.
