hello everyone, im new to this forum. i just spent the last few hours reading the posts on this forum and learning a lot. I have a RES that i keep in a 100 gallon plexiglas tank. Recently, i have been watching lots of youtube vids on turtle ponds and outdoor enclosures so i want to do something similar for my turtle. Unfortunately, i cannot build a pond since i dont own the house where i live but i was wondering if it would be ok to move the aquarium outside. currently i keep the water level at about 25-30 gallons but if take it outside, i will fill up to about 75-85 gallons. my main concerns are the water and ambient temperature inside the tank. I live in Los Angeles so it get kinda warm in summer and in winter it get a little cold. Im not too concerned about the cold since i can always upgrade to a better heater to keep the water comfortable but im not sure about in summer. im not looking to make turtle stew. any comments would be appreciated. please forgive the quality of my pics but here you are:
