Habitat - Indoor :: NEW INDOOR POND COMING SOON!

[Spookster]

Well tell them to hurry up there are many envious turtle owers waiting to see it.

What are your plans as far as filtration? With that much water you're going to have to go not just large, but massive!

[sneakyburrito]

prolly gonna run 3 or 4 Fluval FX 5's, dunno quite yet, im gonna get my friend to check out my pond and have him guide me as to how im gonna filter this.

[Kallistos]

It'd be less expensive you purchased a pond filter. The FX5 is rated for 400 gallons , so depending on how often you want to clean it decide between 2-4.

You'd want to look into a strong pond filter instead of a multiple canisters.

You can find these for under $300. Maybe someone else knows a good pond filter brand. This was taken from the first hit off google.

I second (or third) a pond filter. You could also look at a Pondmaster.

[sneakyburrito]

im am most likely going to go with a pond filter, i dont think i have the funds to buy multiple FX's anyway. but thank you all for you suggestions

[sneakyburrito]

hey guys, sorry i havnt posted any updates recently, got caught up with work and stuff for the last 2 weeks, anyways, i woke up this morning and i saw this in my house's new addition. do enjoy like i did!




as you can see, i have supplied a huge basking rock for my 2 little ones.

sorry about the picture quality, my camera's battery died and so i took these with my cell phone.[/url]

[Muirner]

I have to say not bad at all for a cell phone pic! but i like it very much. Are you going to be able to feed say a discharge from the filter to the top of the rocks (in the middle i see a depression) and let water go down that?

Looking good, that basking rock looks to be pretty large. How big would you say? Cant wait to see it finished up. Good work!

[Spookster]

Wow!!!! Is that like a cavern area in the back for the turtles to swim through? And are we going to see a waterfall coming down over the rock wall in back?

[sneakyburrito]

yes, there will be a waterfall, you can see the black tubing laying on the floor of the pond. the tubing is fished up through the wall of rocks and water will be pumped up. the basking rock is a pretty good size. its like a small sized boulder.

[Muirner]

Very nice. Love the thinking that you put into it

[sneakyburrito]

as soon as the pond and the rest of the room is finished, i will make sure to make a video of the pond and my turtles in action and post it up on youtube and share it with all of you guys! thank you all for keeping your interest!

[Spookster]

I think you should set it up as a turtle resort and then we could send our turtles there for vacation.
