Habitat - Outdoor :: were moving !!!

[steve]

Oh, thanks for the clarification! We're now overdue for an update

[the-turtle-Girl]

we mostly emptied it , there is a TON of bull frog tadpoles in it , we got about 100 of them out and the goldfish , theyre living in a tupperwear storage bin for the time being , we need to get a pressure washer and some more rocks , oh speaking of ricks theres lager rocks in it that i wanna save xD so i have to get in there sometime either sunday or early next week , ill post an image of what its current state is in a few xD

[the-turtle-Girl]

We had a party today but afterwards i got to work with my boyfriends brothers girlfriend , ill post pics tomorrow when i have light but we cleaned out alot of the rocks (still isnt drained) out from around the edges and we situated them back once we got the dirt and leaves cleaned out , tomorrow is more rock moving , and moving the small rocks out .. lol fun times xD busted my finger twice and it was the SAME FINGER both times xDDDD

[the-turtle-Girl]

What it looks like right now .....

[the-turtle-Girl]

I lied xDDD it looks better , this was before i situated the rocks back , ill post a better pic tomorrow xDDD

[steve]

Wow, it looks huge!

[the-turtle-Girl]

it isssssss ... lmao , were gunna try to go for a natural feel , the only form of filtration is the skimmer , but ima see if i can put some bio/mechanical media in the skimmer box as well , but we wanna try letting nature do its job , the skimmer and water fall will serve as more of circulation , live plants and such will be our filters mostly , boyfriend wants to add bluegill sunfish and creek chubs in it , but not until everythings quarantined to make sure they dont get my babies sick xD , but the edges are actually pretty steep , i dont see the turtles actually crawling out of it , but basking areas will be put in place and such . its got a long way to go , but ill keep you updated along the ride !

This is a vew from inside the house of how big it is

[steve]

I am curious as to how deep it is. Doesn't seem to go below the concrete from the pics? This would also probably be a good time to sort out any electrical work you might need (and throw in a security camera).

[the-turtle-Girl]

no everythings hooked up , and yea it goes lower lol its prolly close to 3 foot deet at the deepest spot lol

[the-turtle-Girl]

uhggggg . its alll MUCK at the bottom ... its literally gross >.< but just gotta get past it so we can pressure wash and re-situate rocks and make her pretty !

[the-turtle-Girl]
