90 Gallon tank for Red eared Slider

It's good that you have a heat bulb area to bask. But I recommend having a UVB bulb as well, which wouldn't go through the top of the tank lid. I apologize for a comment on another vid where I assumed there was not enough area to bask or heat lamp. Too many people get turtles on a whim with not enough research sadly so I jumped to conclusions. My 3 yellow bellied sliders belonged to a neighbor who kept them with their fish. They had no basking platform except for 3 pieces of floating Styrofoam. They had no basking or uvb light and were only fed fish flakes. It took a year to fully clear up all shell rot, and get all the built up scutes to naturally come off from being able to bask. Am always on the lookout to help people better take care of their animals.

I have the UVB bulb now but the light doesn’t look too different. Does everything else look fine. Thanks for the comment and help. Also how many times should i feed them? Once in two says or three days? They are both 8-9 years old girls.

@arslanchandoo as long as the uvb bulb isn't blocked by Glass or plastic it should reach them which will be good. For feeding I mix different foods like mealworms, lettuce, dried shrimp, and different turtle foods. For their age/size I would say every other day is fine. You could also do every 3rd day if their shell is 6 inches. The amount should be around what would fit in their entire head if it was Hallow. Think of the entire turtle head like a ballon that instead of filling with water or air would be food. The green lettuce I put straight in their tank for enrichment since it floats and they normally eat plant matter in the wild. I don't count this as part of what would fit in their head, and it is more of a bonus I give them. A tip to reduce ammonia levels and dirtying the tank is to feed them in a different container outside of it. It helps reduce the maintenance needed for the tank.
