You are a life saver. I was sitting here on my third filter that I've purchased in two weeks, which literally is not working for my setup. I was almost in tears trying to figure out how to keep my baby turtle safe. You just answered all of my questions about different filtration and how they work. You've made my choice A LOT easier! You are awesome, ty!

I was also thinking of the live plant filter ;) but that’s way inefficient and requires more maintenance as well as lighting and places limits on filter layout. Although, I do have some in my back yard and seems to do well for my outdoor turtles. Powerful video. U have me pumped to do some DIY and make an outdoor tub/pond setup

Hi there! For a hang on back I'd use 100% polyester/filter floss/sponges. It's real cheap from Walmart (it's basically stuffing).

I'm looking at getting a red eared slider or Diamondback terrapin. I dont have much in the way of cash (I'm getting my degree), but I was wondering if I could use an undergravel filter. (I'd obviously need larger stones, not normal gravel) Will that work or do I need to spend the money on a better filter?
@DanTheTurtleMan_4 жыл бұрын
Honestly the one thing I wouldn't skimp on is filtration. You can build your own really easily if you need to! Just spend the $20-30 on a pump and work from there :)

My wife and I are going to be moving our Red Eared Slider Hatchling into a much larger tank than hte one he has now. (40 gallon ZooMed tank we got from Petsmart) I was wondering what your thoughts were on how to go about doing a DIY filter for that setup? I was thinking a three stage system with each stage being in its own 5 gallon bucket. Stage 1- polyester mechanical, Stage 2- Bio Balls or something simillar, Stage 3- charcoal. Let me know what you think, thanks.
