Movers came Saturday, I finished the tank last night, and it was finally warm enough for the kids tonight. Here's the way it looks now! 2 xp3s, 2 stealth heaters, and a 175 MVB.

Big tanks are better - when your turtle gets to an adult you will need one of those huge tanks as well. Some people like to plan ahead..:)


Great setup scripta! :D

Beautifull setup! I spot some real java fern, amazon sword (plus a few others as well)! I also see some scared rosy reds huddled in the corner. I bet your guys will have fun in there!

That set up is gorgeous, I love all the greenery. Zero's right, there are so many big tanks being photographed on here lately, I've had to turn the monitor away from Leo's pitiful 35 gallon tank so she won't get jealous lol.

Absolutely gorgeous! You can just TELL that the turtles are enjoying it. It's like an indoor pond!

Thanks everyone! DavidY-The movers did use straps, but they went over the shoulder on both sides, and they had loops for their hands/arms also. I think that might be the best 90 dollars I have spent in a long time. Thanks for the suggestion Spot'sMama! The turtles seem to like it. I have the regular jet on the 2nd XP3, and they are surfing on the current. There was also a Rosie massacre yesterday, Spike was waiting for me to drop them in, and she grabbed them while they were a little stunned. I thik she ate 4. I have no idea where she put them, because 4 big rosies are about the same size as her, let alone just her stomach!
