    to prevent sand getting into the intake pipe, place pea gravel in that 1/4 of the floor and place the sand in the other 3/4 of the tank. Silicon a 1/2 high piece of plastic from front to back along the bottom to separate the gravel and sand. Also if you plant any plants place them in small clay pots. place a piece of newspaper folded over twice on the bottom to cover up the drainage hole, then fill 2/3 with dirt, then cover with either sand or pea gravel, then plant your stem or drown plants. You can also plant bulbs or tubers in the pots but put them in the soil then add the gravel to cover them.

    This is a very cool enclosure! I think you did a fantastic job! Especially the drift wood. It is probably my favorite part. I have quite a lot of experience with Marineland filters. I have had a couple for a couple of years. The biowheel tends to just stop spinning after a while. Also the filters tend to start to make a ton of noice. It is not the water sound, but just them running becomes very loud. I will definitely not be buying anymore Marineland filters, but that is just my experience with them. Anyway, I enjoyed the video!
    Also, I rarely eat sweets, but on holidays I eat pie.

    Really nice set up!! He has really grown since he arrived! Congratulations! Dessert? I live in Mexico, and my favorite dessert is Traditional Flan. It is an egg custard with a caramel top. If done right, it takes hours to cook and is delicious. Many folks take short cuts, and it is never as good!

    If you can get a hold of some Watersprite/Indian Fern, floating plants, get some for this tank. They absorb nitrates like mad. As good as Pothos, plus they grow their own daughter plants which you can remove and feed to your turtles and tortoises as supplemental food. Also add some pond snails as clean up crew, and maybe some ghost shrimps, and they will double as extra food sources.

    All my searches have come up empty, in terms of finding a tank like Corvid's... SO jealous 😎.... Our snapper, we've had for a year in October..He's is a little smaller than Corvid, and super ready for more space. He's in a 20gallon currently. Appreciate any help and seriously, awesome job on the setup. Looks damn good.

    Need help! Have a baby snapping turtle. It's a rescue. Ive had it for a few weeks now. It's the size of a half dollar coin. So it's small. It stopped eating yesterday. It ate a small piece of worm in the morning and thats it. I've tried different food and tried soaking pallets in tuna juice and etc. Hes not interested at all and just hides in the sand. Sometimes it looks like he's trying to get out. Digging in one corner of the aquarium. How can I help him?
