Habitat - Indoor :: My turtle indoor pond setup

[TurtlesOwner97]

Hi folks, it's been a while since I dropped by this forum! Just want to share a video of my setup with a more 'natural' basking area and my humble indoor pond with 2 spoiled turtles

Here's the link,

Looks great, how many gallons is that? I liked the shot of the turtle digging into the fake plant What kind of wood is in there?

Thank you Steve! I guess it's roughly between 100 to 110 gallon. Haha yeah me too, they really love digging those fake plants almost everyday lol. It's just 2 pieces of typical large driftwoods that I got from an aquarium shop, not sure what kind of driftwoods they are.

I like the little fence too. Do you have more information on what you've done... like filter, substrate, tank?

I've 2 internal filters hidden behind the fake grass (the one which my turtle tried to dig) at each end of the pond. I have 2 air pumps for each end of the pond as well to keep the water movement consistently. I only have some river rocks to prevent my plastic plants from shifting around as my turtles tend to try to 're decorate' it by themselves. I've an Eheim Jager 300 watt heater placed near to my internal filter, it's also hidden behind the fake grass with some DIY plastic plants which I tied them with fishing line and attached them with suction cups so that I can cover as much as I want for the filter and heater. I believe the filters are filtering twice as much as it supposed to be. In case you're wondering what brand of filters I'm using, it's an Otto Internal filter, 2000 lph and an Ocean Free internal filter, 1500lph (not that popular I guess lol)

That is a beautiful tank. You have a great eye when it comes to laying out all the fake plants!
