Thank you Tom I let the baffles cure for about 48 hours before adding water. Everything looks good. Im just missing some media and filter floss. Ordered a 12 foot roll coming in next week. I tossed in about 30 sponges they are working great :) The turtles were only kept in the tank about 2...

No clue, I'm guessing the turtles are just bored. Mine did the same when I had river rocks. Replaced with sand no more noise :) Your turtle might enjoy playing around with a marimo moss ball like mine did. I found a nice fat one the size of a tennis ball from petco for about 7$. They are...

current basking area in the tank is a large 3 foot piece of driftwood. Once the sump is ready I will have a large plastic storage bin container secured above the tank with a large hole cut in the side. Will attach some eggcrate to the container as the ramp. This will be temporary until I can...

Attached a new sump layout I gave up on the idea of moving the pump to 1 end. The left and right nuts are covered by wood. I would have to unscrew the boards to get to the nuts. too big of a hassle. The previous owner built custom stand I wanted a fuge so that I may grow anarcharis, java fern...
