    Yea. Well i'm currently working on a wooden canopy enclosue for that tank. I fixed the land problem a long time ago. I purchased a Turtle Dock a while back and have it set on top of some floating plants and my turtles love it. Rigth now the tank is almost full, except for the top 2 inches or...

    Turtles and fish?

    Yea mine r still babies. Except for maybe my musk, i think he's fully grow, very small though. I was gonna try some danios since they're pretty fast and yea maybe a pleco or two. I might wait till the winter season though cause the tank is really warm right now. It's ok for my turtles but...

    Turtles and fish?

    I have a spazoid red ear slider, a little hatchling map turtle, and a musk turtle. The only one that i think would be fast enough to catch a fish would be the red ear but he's too afraid of eveything. The musk isn't a good swimmer though and the map is just tiny, for now.

    Turtles and fish?

    hmmm bummer. The reson i was thinkin was cause i had put in like 5 feeder fish a few months ago. Right away 3 got eaten i guess but the other two have been living in total harmony with them. They're red rosies and at about 2 or more inches right now. I noticed that the fish even swim next...

    Turtles and fish?

    I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with mixing fish and turtles. I currently have have a 90g set up for 3 turtles and was hoping to maybe add some excitement to the tank. I'm pretty sure my tank could handle fish well. I have AWSOME filtration, a constant pH of about 7.4 -...

    Just a few questions

    Ok, the tank this is happening in is a 10g. I'm running an aquaclear 20 on it with a normal sponge block in it, a little bit of carbon, and some EHFISUBSTRAT in there too. It runs at 100 gph. The tank has been setup for about a month now. I introduce the fish last week. I have: 1 male...

    Tanksitting problems

    Ok this has probably come up in the past but i haven't been able to find a topic about this so i'm gonna ask. I have been tanksitting for my uncle the past week or so. He just has a little 5g with 4 danios and a neon tetra. I really wished he would have done some research on aquariums or...

    my first real fishtank

    Yea i don't have CF lights and that KH kit was one of the ones i have to buy. i haven't gone to my LPS yet though cause it was really rainy today. Is 80 F gonna be ok because it doesn't look like it's gonna go down much more. The fact that I'm putting it in my office it gets warmer in here...

    my first real fishtank

    well i just got home and it seems as though the temp has stabalized at 80. I'll go ahead and work with adding some bogwood or something and i'll get that cup of water to do the pH test tonight. My hood doesn't have any fans on it :( only vents on the sides. Now that i'm only running the...

    my first real fishtank

    I don't wanna say anything about the cold sterile system right now because i don't wanna give out wrong info so i can check on that when i go in. As for the test kit i'm using Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Freshwater Master Kit. I wanna get a hardness kit and maybe a phosphate kit as well later...

    my first real fishtank

    We don't use RO we have a cold sterile system that we use. I kinda like the idea of mixing myabe. I'll look into that some more. Well it seems like my aquatic turtles have adopted the feeders as pets anyways so i'll be keeping them but i guess it makes sense to stay away from them, i'll do...

    my first real fishtank

    Ok i have some gravel from my 90g turtle tank that is already cycled along with carbon from there too. I could use some of that. If I were to have used the feederfish they would have been from that tank. The fish were supposed to be food for the turtles but my turles are very friendly :D and...

    my first real fishtank

    yea for the cycling i was gonna add my fish a little at a time or i was even thinking of using some of my feeder rosies. My pH was somewhere around 8.0 and i used Jungle pH Decreaser. As for my lighting, I'm using an 18 in. Coralife 50/50 flourescent. I was also gonna use 2 incandescent bulbs...
