Aquascape Tutorial: 💚 3ft TURTLE Aqua Terrarium | Paludarium | Aquarium (How To: Planted Tank Guide)

[@MDFishTanks]

NEW MERCH CLICK HERE: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/md-fish-tanks Timmy (TIIIIMMMMMAAAAYYYYYYY) has gotten to big for his shallow tank so we have upgraded him to a 3ft aquarium / aqua terrarium / paludarium. He shares his tank with fish as well. Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows. I wanted for a simple planted aquascape in this one to allow easy aquarium maintenance later down the road. Timmy really seems to love it and it makes a great feature of the Studio 😊 Equipment (all links affiliate): GOOD BUDGET LIGHT:: US amzn.to/2MDfjk1 UK amzn.to/3iYlfQQ SMALL HANG ON BACK FILTER: US amzn.to/2Mw63OO UK amzn.to/39rx3b5 NANO INTERNAL FILTER: US amzn.to/3oxGBWm UK LED FLOODLIGHTS: US amzn.to/3t6HOHD UK amzn.to/3orIdRv CANISTER FILTER: US amzn.to/3iNeVtW UK amzn.to/2Fo774a GOOSENECK CLIP ON LAMP: (similar as product is now discontinued) US amzn.to/2IlwLVA UK amzn.to/2LNat13 MINI WATER PUMP: US amzn.to/2oAmf5y UK amzn.to/2mjHDez TANKS: US amzn.to/2SOocHG UK amzn.to/2SPA24i STRIP LED LIGHT: US (similar) amzn.to/2SNgbm7 UK amzn.to/2Fn9aW1 ASTA LED LIGHT: US amzn.to/3k9EmpY UK amzn.to/3p5XUPY AQUARIUM RACKING: Shelving: US amzn.to/2SrYZ5k UK amzn.to/2GFWKJ2 AIRPUMP (FILTER SYSTEM): US amzn.to/31z8FA9 UK amzn.to/37GIoUa FILTER SPONGES: US amzn.to/3dQLUfM UK amzn.to/3dS2k7K MEDIA BAGS: US amzn.to/34Kaf2N UK amzn.to/3lAj3z1 STAINLESS LILY PIPES: US amzn.to/2FqHpvR UK amzn.to/2RlfrnC BOWL AQUARIUMS: US amzn.to/2M4FwFO Amazo UK: amzn.to/2Vx73CL HARDSCAPE AND PLANTS: www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/ AWESOME MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY kzbin.info/door/3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHwjoin FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/md_fishtanks/ FOR BUSINESS ENQUIRIES: [e-mail] #plantedtank #aquascape #mdfishtanks PATREON: if you want to support future builds or possible help fund a bigger studio to make more videos, then you can here: www.patreon.com/mdfishtanks

Where the best place to buy some pearl weed im struggling to find some thank you Ps your videos are quality 👌

[@ginacolada8287]

Loved the video. Since we are thinking about getting a turtle. After having fishes, frogs and a chameleon it just made sense. We thought about holding them in a group of 3 is that ok ?

[@jonathanortiz8831]

hey i was wondering what type of aqua soil do you use?

[@aletheamueller6206]

Great job! You’re right on point! Love Timmy what breed is he?

[@XKoriX214]

@MDFishTanks Just wondering what do you use for calcium? I need to buy a cuttle fish for my turtle. But wondered how to incorporate into the tank.

[@thorngriffith9132]

really enjoyed the ending, just getting to watch him swim around for a bit enjoying the setup.

You’ve made me obsessed with aquarium building ahhhhh 😂

[@erisisthename]

I don’t know that I would want to keep turtles, but this is by far, my favorite setup you’ve done thus far, MD. I will have to build one inspired by this one when I have the room for it. Awesome work!

[@feralon9570]

We have an eastern musk turtle thanks to MD. My husband fell in love with Timmy and we had to get one!

[@trolxturd6136]

@@feralon9570 is it aggressive and does it like being handled I’ve read they are aggressive and bite a lot

[@feralon9570]

@@trolxturd6136 , I really don't make a point of "playing" with him. He bit my oldest daughter once but she made the mistake of putting her fingers in to try to feed him by hand, they don't see so well. Ours swims into my husband's hands to get his shell brushed. He is about a year old and we have only had one bite in that time.

[@Stallion-Koi]

Say as good idea 💡 that's is I think people enjoy watching them eating in a tank like natural habitat

[@zaki_1337]

Here's a tip for turtle keepers: Try takin out your turtles in a separate container when it's feeding time. My RESs used to poop only when eating and removing them from the tank helped in keeping the tank clean for a longer period of time. Don't know if it's the same with other turtles.

[@dogfish8594]

@Samuel Tintisan I've got a long neck turtle 🐢 around 20cm long in a 5ft tank

[@zaki_1337]

@Samuel Tintisan Funny though, I used to do this when I was in school, hardly took a few minutes. And my turtles used to eat a lot, indicating the absence of stress.

[@conarykao]

Lol I do and they still shit in their normal tank. But they’re fucking adorable so I live with it.

[@zaki_1337]

@@conarykao Hmmm, so it doesn't work with all turtles. That's a bummer.

Absolutely stunning Scape. You never fail to get your scapes looking amazing. definitely one of the best aqua-scapers on KZbin!

[@harleyraymond4207]

You're making me want to get rid of my angels and get a musk turtle again... glad to see more of Timmy on the channel! You've nailed this one, it looks amazing.

[@Babyluthi]

Csn't you have both???

[@julianaquascaped]

me: “that looks great!” MD: “don’t worry, it always looks rubbish at this stage.”

[@TheEvoStroker]

If I was a turtle I'd want to be Timmy. What a home he's got! 👍

[@ayanpal1]

This is simply superb. ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! From idea to execution, from editing to the music chosen this vBlog was incredibly satisfying and just made my day. Also, needless to say, I am so happy for Timmy! This is like a mini paradise...

[@Jonasastrophotos]

Timmy isnt lazy hes like me, conserving energy :P

[@saahils9789]

Ahh let's go! Had a rough day and made my day! Love the tank MD. It's looking amazing

[@jesbenji9742]

Thanks for the extra TIMMEH! footage at the end. So enjoyable to watch him just doing his thing. Love that little guy :)

[@nicoleblake9266]

Was he eating a minnow??

[@hightopshannah]

Timmy is so cute! So fun to see them enjoying their new tank

[@sporcu1175]

That’s honestly the best aquascaping I’ve ever seen for a home aquarium! Amazing job Timmy looks so happy! 😊

[@DomStewartWhite]

Timmy is either the luckiest or unlikiest turtle in the world depending if he likes moving house or not 😂 i think hes had more scapes than any other turtle in the world. Great build as usual

[@kristofnagyvari5498]

Came to leave a like, I will watch it after work😂

[@marybethstevens5574]

I love the great footage of him enjoying his new digs at the end

[@katya4802]

I have a Timmy.🥰 He will get up at least a few times a week for a few hours to bask. Surprises me when he does.

[@canuckereh9202]

Beautiful. This has inspired me to finally set up a Musk turtle tank like that. It's been 41 years since I had a turtle. It's time. Thanks MD for another excellent video. ✌🏽🇨🇦

[@chanirusemika]

thats the coolest turtle tank i have ever seen

[@tviray25]

HAAHA TIMMY with that scream face MD picks him up.. just too cute and hilarious X))

You blew my mind with the magnet and aqua soil :O

Something so aesthetic about it , wood, stone, 3 types of plants, simple but gorgeous 👍

[@DJ-sp5vf]

I didnt know about that aquasoil and magnet trick! I siphon them and waste some sand in the process. thanks for this!

[@atkinsnatureaquariums3552]

That magnet trick for aqua soil just blew my mind. Big brain move 🤣

[@straightwhitemale5753]

Dude......I LOVE that song at the end. I was sitting here with your video in the background and all of a sudden I get chills and pay attention. Lol Great song for a video like this.

[@melchantz]

I love how you played the music and just watching the serenity of the tank.. Don't get me wrong love hearing your voice as always but this portion made me miss my parents sooo much

[@lisaadams5048]

Timmy now has a beautiful Amazing Mansion he is the happiest and luckiest Turtle anywhere I love this you are amazing you build the best and most beautiful tanks ever. When I an down feeling bad depressed I just start watching you build tanks like today my blood presser is high but it want be for long thank you so much for sharing your tank building with us .

[@ricardocaliman2830]

Personally, I think this is the best "Timmmaaaaayyyy" scape yet !!! (Does he actually "Lalalala laaa" when he walks ? 😂🤣

[@genmuzero372]

This inspired me to try to make a tank like this for my turtle, he was recently given to us from a relative who can’t keep him anymore. While I was already gonna get a bigger tank for him I want to make something similar to this now

[@zollyActingandTheater]

Ive watched and rewatched all your turtle aquariums/mini ponds/paludariums as i am preparing for my turtle, your vids inspire me and I’ve got great ideas!

[@zollyActingandTheater]

Im getting a turtle soon, and the moment I saw one of your thumbnails I was hooked, I have watch many of your turtle tank aquascapes and I’ve gotta so many details that will inspire my tank! Thanks so much!

[@rqndxm]

Really cool. I'm thinking of getting a turtle but for now I'm just watching people build nice enclosures for them. Love it!

[@laurag1076]

Yay! Timmy. Star of the show. So much room. Looks so great. He's so teeny- love him. ❤️

[@pittayayas]

These vids are so therapeutic for me.

[@feralon9570]

Love it! Timmy seems happy! He does appear to be almost fully grown now.

[@mia_17xx]

how do these builds not get destroyed by timmy? i have 2 musk turtles that will absolutely obliterate any plants i put in there and move all the hardscape around until i eventually give up and just let them have it like they want it 😂

[@caseymoore4759]

I just did a 55g scape for my adult Razorback musk turtles and used hardy Epiphytes like windelov ferns, Anubias varieties etc. you can glue them to stuff so there’s no worrying about things like the turtles digging them up. They have tough leaves that withstand kicks and stuff from the turtles. we put them in right after setting it up and the very first thing one of them did was trample a freshly placed windelov fern and after he walked a way it looked as good as it did before he did it. As for moving stuff around you just have to either secure it properly like we glued it all down, but at the same time it’s all placed with making everything naturally puzzle together, making sure there weren’t any areas that they’d want to go but couldn’t fit forcing them to push stuff around.

[@tdnchannel6157]

All of your tanks are awesome, but this tank looks impressive to me. I love turtles!

[@insidemysketchbook1639]

[@joshanthony2679]

I've got 2 large yellow bellied sliders, had them since hatchlings. I wish I could create a setup like this, but they eat everything, live plants, fake plants. They eat and chew on everything. The tank is so bland and this is the sort of set up I'd love to have for them. Great work man, looks amazing!

[@sindyerdmannchen3793]

Perfect Aquaterra for the sweet Stinkpot. Its an inspiration for my boy.

Not to be dramatic, but I would die for Timmy

[@TwoGunz2008]

Lovely scape a waterfall right down the middle of the stones would of been amazing :) keep up the great work MD I watch your videos everyday. :)

[@b.michiels9760]

To keep the emersed plants beautiful, you could spray them every day with rainwater in the morning and before the night. Nice tank again 👌

[@jamie2424lfc]

I just installed one of them lights on my tank fish are all completely different now showing the real personalities! Funny enough I get my fish the same place you get yours 😉 would love to bump into you one day :)

[@amsal6763]

You should do a aqua/rock scape for some sort of crayfish like the mexican dwarf or cambarellus alleni

[@henk4700]

yes that would be cool

[@snazzyfox1137]

Could not agree more

[@henk4700]

yeh something like this would be cool but something that looks like an swamp would be cool aswell

Hoho~~ Gorgeous scape as always!! And on top of it its a full video!! Thanks for the uploading fast.

[@luznunez11]

i’d raise the water to the top, or at least 3/4. a lot of people think they are bad swimmers but ive also got a musk and he does very well in deep water. just gradually raise it over time to build muscle. he is 2 years old too so he’s able to handle deeper water. just make sure you’ve got rocks/plants heading to the surface like you’ve got going right now!! but i love the tank

[@xiolv]
