Post Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:16 am   Hello, I'm a New RES Caretaker.

Oficially, I'm an aquarium pro, but I've recently aquired a RES and have grown quite attached and would like to come here to learn more about him. Anyway, I'm just introducing myself.

Welcome! There is a lot of information here and it can be overwhelming. The main site and the stickys are a great place to start. If you have any questions, just ask.

What's you set up like?

Hey there, thank you. The current set up is an oceanic 30 cube drilled in the back with 2 3/4" drains going to a wet/dry filter modified for mech, chem, and bio filtration with a submesible heater in the sump running at 80F. The light fixture is a 250W HQI metal halide with dual 24W T5's and a 3/4W moonlight as a nightlight. The set up was going to be used for a reef tank originally, but we got the turtle for free and decided to use it for him.

Welcome and kudos to you for wanting what's best for your turtle. I keep fish also.
