Had this sitting around for awhile, and its supposedly designed to work on turtle tanks. Anybody familiar with this filter and/or have any thoughts on how well it works?
My only advice would be to keep ontop of water changes and maintenance as it is essential and they will live alot longer and healthier if you keep a close eye on water quality. Make sure the tank has a basking spot and isn't full of condensation, and it should keep the diseases away. Also I assume u have a UVB bulb which provides their essential d3.
Yeah I think 10,000 is more tropical species of lizard. My best advice would be to get some advice from reptile forum uk. In my opinion, but I'm no expert, I think it would be better to go for a lower strength. The Reptisun 5500k 25w t8 would be fine. It's a 5% UVB bulb, which is 36" long. How long is your existing bulb if you have one? Or the fitting if you don't?
Sorry, on basking some aquatic turtles like water more than land but some may surprise you. I keep a musk/stinkpot turtle and he never basks, but it's there anyway, just incase.
