That red rock, lava rock/volcanic rock is a very cost effective alternative to things like expanded clay balls and other substrate/media. Lots of surface area for beneficial micro-fauna. At the end of BBQ season goes on clearance (as is used in a lot markets as a heat sink/diffuser), so it ends up being even more of a value proposition. :)
So that would filter out waste from the turtles as well? wondering if theres something simular you could hook up to a pythons water bowl or pond so you can feed them and go away for a week or 2 and not worry about whether their water is clean or not? Maybe an aquarium pump and filter....
For an outside pond for turtles, would you need to run a water heater for them during the winter? We have ours inside atm, but at the next house we are looking into an outside pond, any help would be great that you
Thanks coop, amazing filter you’ve made. Totally agree with the turtles outside mine are doing great outside. Do you have any plans on breading them? 👍
If it happens then thats great but I'm not fussed either way! I will be making them a new setup hopefully soon which would be better suited for breeding
Would be interesting to set up an aquaponics ecosystem with turtles and grow food and native plants for your animals.
Great vid
thanks!
Really informative video cooper looking forward to coming up to the park again 💯

Love the videos
i haven't watched the whole vid yet but how do you keep YOUR turtles warm in winter outside?
Very cool mate 👌
Nothing wrong with turtles 🐢

You’d probably have to get someone to at least top it up
Hi chief, what kind of pump are you using?

Hey Coop great vid. Could you do a video on whites skinks (liopholis whitii)?
If you watch my recent herping video with the bearded dragon there was also heaps of whitii in that area - gives you an idea on habitat
@@coopsreptiles2588 awesome!

Great video once again Coop. Where do you get those bio balls from?
Any place that would sell aquarium related products are likely to have it or online
Thanks mate
Weren’t you planning on upgrading them into that large round black pond? Or is that being saved for something else?
Still happening! Just need the time. Set this new filter up to get it running for the new setup when its ready!
