Setting Up A 40 Gallon TURTLE TANK!

[@CarsonsAquatics]

Thanks for watching! I’m super happy with how this tank turned out! Let me know what you guys think, & also let me know what kind of fish we should put in here!⬇️

[@norasnewfs9290]

Fancy guppies, common guppies or neon and black neon tetras

[@ronniearneil7336]

upload more pls pls pls im a huge fan i love love love love the vids #carsenaquatics rules

[@elijahdontrelljones]

You should probably get a 125g for the 2 res turtles

[@Glorytoccp]

Carson if you dm me on Instagram I’ll gift you a dwarf caiman

[@rachelhuckaby8128]

Definitely fast fish so they don’t become turtle food. You could do a small school of danios. They swim together, are hardy, and can out swim the turtles.

[@evanmiller3787]

Personally I think that some lyretail mollies or some sort of smaller tetra (rummynose?) or maybe even some fancy guppies. Just some extra fast moving color would help the tank pop in my opinion. Nonetheless, you’re on a roll dude. I’m absolutely loving your videos and what you’re doing. You’ve inspired me so much, and are super underrated. Keep it up

[@onlywei]

At 3:00 why not go for the thrive above tank basking area in the bottom shelf? It’s built for 40g breeders!

[@lisaeaton2029]

I have a red earred slider and a western painted in a 40 gallon breeder but can not add fish as they keep eating them. Any suggestions on fish that would be safe with them would be great as they just like to hunt and eat them.

[@billiecousins1824]

Hi! I have a turtle I need to move into a bigger tank. What filter did you use in this video?

[@turtlerouge3092]

Would you please do a video on setting up a semi turtle tank. Also, how do I disinfect a fish tank im using now for 2 wood turtle hatchlings?

[@ladiesman7514]

Hey man, what filter is that that you used, I’ve been looking for it 6:26

[@ohsnapitsemy]

would i need to use the bacteria starter every time i do full water changes for the turtle tank?

[@bethmulligan2588]

Ha ha...your very last tip about being sure they wouldn't get wedged in was going to be my very 1st sentence!!! They look MAHVELOUS!!!

[@adriennecgomez]

how often do you do water changes for your turtles?

[@timothybracken1728]

Wow TYSM for going through what I need. From a new turtle owner, this video is amazing! Thank you so much Carson. I copied you and got what I needed.

[@CHHill-wl4xn]

Carson please tell me what pump you are using on the turtle tank. I can't find one that will work and I have the same tank! Thanks!

[@pomelodude]

The tank looks great Carson!! I can't wait to see what content comes out of it

[@evanpagemusic]

LESS GOOOO Carson that tank be lookin fire

[@83Nachojr]

Where did you get that double decker stand?

[@MossyWonder]

hi, I have had a turtle for 5 years now but I have just started to do research. Last year I upgraded to a 350 stock tank outside, I have 3 turtles, a 6 inch, and two 5 inches, it is currently NOT filtered. I was looking at what GPH a new filter should be some places say it should be times 5 but a filter for 1750 gallons seems like a lot. Help I don't know what to do.

[@kristykeimig3498]

great video. just wanted to add...the uva/uvb bulb helps them to absorb calcium. with out the light they can suffer from metabolic bone disease, and that causes the shell to become deformed and they also wont shed scutes and cause retained scutes but yea there are other reasons.. Also if you can use the lamp stand holder instead of setting the lights on the screen its waaay more beneficial for their health. When you place it on glass or screen it disrupts the amount of rays and then they dont get to absorb as much and makes the light seem super weak. so if you can avoid it, its the best.

[@susanag7704]

Hi, I wanted to know where you got your cave?

[@NateAdiram]

The new turtle aquarium looks amazing, the turtles look big and it is so much better to see them than when they we in the tub. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next video.

[@duckygang603]

I was thinking of getting some red ear sliders but Idk because I don't want them to bit me if I were to pick them up.

[@rosannasantoyo6566]

How often do you change the water? How do you keep the water so clear? My tank water keeps turning a light green.

[@zoophilist1882]

We need a snapping turtle now!😁😁

[@beew290]

I cannot wait to set up mine. Loved this

[@renrichards]

What do you recommend putting into my turtle tank if my little piggy eats any plant in sight aside from the greens he is supposed to eat?

[@aliciasoto1455]

It turned out super good!

[@DracoTheDragon]

Honestly I would go with live-neared such as guppies, platies, or mollies. Great set up!

[@tylerlance4185]

I got a few questions. What kind of light bulbs r they, what type of water heater is it, and what kind of water filter?

[@EliMooner]

What happened to the live plants? Gotta make the switch

[@JorgeGonzalez-nc3bu]

Buying my first home and I really want to get into the hobby. Thanks for putting up all this great content!

[@ViralTiktokRepost]

Just remember, it does cost quite a bit of money to get them everything necessary! So make sure you can afford it on top of buying your new home!! :)

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

what kind of filter did you use?

[@horsez2]

filter recommendations?

[@LegendsAquatics]

Second, you should get a shell dweller tank they’re amazing unique cichlids

[@Paradisepizza_]

Hey Carson do you know of anyway I can keep my turtle tank clear and not foggy? And do you have any suggestions on turtle filters?

[@russellpinelli3651]

What filter are you using

[@AdamUS123-j7q]

Yes sir carson has uploaded!!!

[@jillianto5350]

I love the tank!! Seeing the turtles and it looks so cool!

[@kristykeimig3498]

also the uva/uvb and heat lamp needs to be between 10 to 12 in away from the turtles shell when they are on the basking dock. your set up turned out so AWESOME. they will love it so much

[@sabrinaa5979]

What do you feed them

[@mutant4655]

Hi from Scotland! You are my biggest inspiration in the fish-keeping hobby and every day that I see you upload it just instantly makes me feel better! I have got a 90 litre community tank in my room now because of how much you have helped me fall in love with the hobby and it is running amazingly mostly because of your tips in your videos! Thanks for being such a great youtuber and an even better person!

[@petercho8910]

Hey I like your setup but what watts do you use for your UVB and heat lamp?

[@agustinpenatrinidad1244]

Ohh man it’s a good day when Carson uploads

[@Auzzybeaz]

Love your videos Carson, You should get a map or painted turtle

[@pamafterlunch]

I have a albino red eared slider too. Mine 4inch Juvenile Female.

[@rishabhdimri4887]

Great video, I am starting on setting up the tank. How often do you clean and change water in this tank and how hard is it ?

[@zollyActingandTheater]

It doesn’t take too long, matters how much water you have, but turtles are messy buggers so about weekly ( like every Saturday is easiest for me) just make sure when you add more water back to condition it, but about 10-20 minutes and pretty easy in my opinion

[@GabbyRocio]

Looks good! I have my baby musk turtle with platys, so they won't be harmful if he eats them. He's in a 40g breeder also. Prime neutralizes ammonia for 48 hours too, so that's why I prefer it over other water conditioners.

[@BigMoEnrgy]

I can never get my water clear like that for my turtle! I’m going to have to do the same steps you did . I have water conditioner but that doesn’t work

[@XenoGotHair]

Thanks for making my day with the turtle tank! I love turtles and love seeing how people choose to set up the tank

[@cptnissancptnissan2931]

is that a 40 gallon high?

[@gtoalex6897]

What filter did u use for the tank?

[@KerryScottCooke7402]

Hello thanks for the information video. I havnt got a turtle 🐢 yet but I’m doing a lot of research and planning and thinking on the whole project. I want to get a large fish tank. Then I’m thinking of putting in a divider in a small area of the tank. Then I want to fill it with plants 🌱. The turtle will not be able to access it so the plants should grow. What do you think? TIA on anyone giving me their opinion

[@megalol1344]

question, will a 40 gallon tank be enough for an adult red slider?

[@chyname]

Need 120 gallons

[@xoticmarlon5364]

You inspired me to get a turtle Carson thank you I just got one today I have everything think the turtle needs it’s in a 40 gallon breeder for now.

[@zeus.the.mechanic5616]

The turtle for sure will climb out. My red eared slider jumped out of mine. Found him hiding in a corner.

[@carey2030]

What's the best way to clean a tank that has been given to you.

[@withlittleman]

What happened to the 4th turtle?

[@jameeldindial2453]

Looks Great 👍

[@obj268tcgamer6]

what happen when i have 2 res how many gallons would i need

[@johnnymartinez1230]

Great setup.

What kind of the fish and turtle will eat the fish , thabk you

[@Lawson_Miner]

Yaaay it worked this time

[@josephineurquhart5159]

What should I do for my turtle

[@norasnewfs9290]

Just came from the live!

[@deborahperez1550]

My 5 and 8 year old daughters love watching your videos!! My 8 year old wants to see an angelfish in there with the turtles

[@younggawvii7907]

*Help Needed: I have had two baby yellow bellied sliders for about 6 months now with no issue, just recently as it has gotten colder (I didn't have a heater) they started to get lethargic not eating as much. So I bought a heater, replaced my heating bulb - but they still don't swim around that often and only eat sparingly almost not even interested in the feeding pellets. They are just sitting in a corner at the bottom the tank rn. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! I don't know what else to do - i have checked for any visible sign of illness and they look okay. The tank is a 20 gallon high, water temp 79 degrees, food mix of pellets and shrimp, and I do regular water changes.

[@TiDaCa]

So stoked to get comment of the day 😁 Thanks Carson!! Another great video!

[@Miauwro]

Were you using real or fake plants?

[@kevinbedolla85]

Hey I got a question? What filter for a 55 gallon tank do you recommend??

[@evanmiller3787]

What’s going to be in the tank? Some fish need more powerful filtration than others. In my 55 Mbuna tank, I have 2 filters, but only because of how much they poop

[@jinpachichulo7561]

FX6 or anything that can filter 150 gallons. You need at least double whatever the tank size and go by the minimum number on the filter.

[@sebastiannuno5575]

I suggest zebra danios, white cloud minnows, or ender guppies

[@patriciasbunch9884]

Can they go in a smaller tank when they're babies

The wood 🪵 basking area looks amazing on my tank

My turtle 🐢 can't get into the root and that is good because they are drowning. But the guppies breed and feel save there

[@taniya5752]

Are you selling the tub

[@HesamSh1300]

Carson i think the way you putted the heat lamp on the glass lid the turtules can’t get enough heat from the lamp

[@Shadowspiderssso]

It's looking nice BTW. I will send in 3 tank pictures for tank Tuesday.

[@rileystephens6919]

wow womderful tank man love the videos! ps great tank once again

[@kgaming2078]

Carson which is better a 20 gallon long tank which is 36 x 12 x12 or a 20 gallon tall which is 30 x 18 x12

Depends what you want to put in there
