- today I am setting up my 75 gallon turtle tank again...and hopefully for the final time! This tank is home to my painted turtle, Nemo, and some fish. A few details about this tank -
75 Gallons, reef(?) tank dimensions (wider not longer) - approx. 36x24x20
Filtered with Fluval FX4 and Ziss Bubble Bio Filter
Heated with Fluval M 300 watt (looking to upgrade this to a non-glass heater since it has already been knocked over once and is making me nervous!)
DIY above tank basking area with heat and uvb lights
Lighted with Finnex Stingray 35"

absolutely No one:
Turtle girl: *claps*
ahahahahaha why is this so accurate I don't even know that I'm doing it 😂
@@TheTurtleGirl hi! I was wondering how big is Nemo?
@@VaM209 He expired RIP Nemo 🥺
Nemo and and all of your pets are sooooooooooooooo healthy ! You're a great pet owner ! God bless you !
And for those 5 dislikes HOW DOES SETTING UP A HOME FOR YOUR TURTLE OFFEND SOMEONE
Senior Woofers you can’t be good without hate
Hmmmmm
Yeah why do people just dislike good videos
they disliked cause de jjelous of the boyfriend
Ahh I loved watching this video! You were the one that taught me how to take care of my turtle properly and give it a good set up 🥺✨
this is the earliest i’ve ever been! I have 10 turtles and i’m building a huge pond for when they get older:)
that's amazing!
o my garsh
Trinity smith 10????!!!!
Tutu noob yeppp:)
Trinity smith I don’t have 10 not 20 but............. 0
This is amazing there isn’t a lot of turtle care/ content on RUclips
Cool video! I really enjoyed this video. Good way to provide some mental simulation by changing it up their enclosure and the obvious cleaning maintenance routine.
I really love your videos! I upgraded Cowabunga from a 10 gallon to a 38 gallon yesterday. Watching the little baby have so much room to swim is amazing 🙌
yes!! cowabunga is an awesome name too!
@@TheTurtleGirl thanks hahaha
The habitat you've created is is very interesting. At first glance is simply a few rocks and pieces of drift wood. But the way you arranged the wood and rocks provides a complex environment for your turtle to interact with. More importantly, it is very pleasing to the eye.
Heyy 👋🏼 I’ve been watching all your videos for about a year and half now. I really enjoy them and they have taught me a lot and the result was a healthy red eared slider turtle her name is Wasabi :). Sooo you said that Nemo picks at the fish, from my research and experience tiger barbs and rosy barbs mix really well with Wasabi they are too fast for her to catch and throughout this year and a half she only managed 2 eat 2 out of the 10 in the tank. And in her defense they were duds lol but yeah just wanted to tell you that. I look forward to seeing more videos !
great video. thank you for sharing. peace, love and blessings
love the new arty channel pic! You've really stepped up your editing since the last time I caught up on your videos as well, way to go! Do those convicts behave for you? They could be picking off your danios too! 😮😀
My turtle eats live plants too usually but I've put Marimo moss balls into his tank since turtles seem to not like their taste and they help maintain the water quality pretty well I think, my ammonia and nitrite level is at 0 and my nitrate level is around 10ppm. You can get them off Amazon and they might make vacuuming your tank a little more difficult but it may be worth it
looks amazing!!!
Hi there lady, looking good. I agree on the live plants and the turtles. they do destroy them. You could put in the ones that are safe for them to eat. So if he does eat it, its ok. LOL..on the decor, yup, just toss 'em in there, LOL..I need to get more rocks. I love how you did that.
Hey you probably don’t remember me but I was here when you only had 20k subs and I always asked about the musk turtle. Any ways I’m so happy you got more subs. And I’m happy to see you again!
Always enjoy your videos turtle love
Omg I love your videos I have a Mississippi map turtle and am getting an Eastern mud turtle!!!
Nice tank set up. Love the turtle. New subscriber 👍
It looks really nice for Nemo 🐢
That hoodie is dope!!! Super jealous
Hi! I'm doing a tank upgrade, and like all turtles, mine eats almost all decor i put in his tank. Where did you get your rocks and driftwood from? I usually pick up random rocks from outside, but I love how cohesive yours are. And obviously any wood from outside is a risk of disease, and wouldn't sink anyway. Thanks!
I have guppies in with my turtles. They’re doing good. There’s enough in there to reproduce so there’s a constant food supple.
LOL
Your videos are always awesome and I love the set up of your tanks! By the way, what did you use to fill it up? I need one of those! Lol!
I joined this channel at 5k subs and it has grown to 38k ....... Keep growing turtle girl ..... Love for India
hiii! love your videos! i was wondering what stand you would recommend for a 55 gallon tank? i can’t seem to find any promising ones and don’t want to risk getting one that is not sturdy enough😭
Any advice for me getting 2 Mississippi Map turtles in a 40 gallon tank! Can you make a video on Mississippi Map turtles!!!
I know your not asking me but The advise is from her she says on rare occasions you should pair two turtles I hope I could help
unfortunately, I don't own any maps, so probably won't make a video, sorry! but care is pretty similar across the board for turtles :)
The Turtle Girl I have had a Male Musk turtle since it was born, it’s now 1 year and 6 months old and he is 6 cm long.
I was wondering if it would be okay to get a female baby musk turtle? About 3 cm big
The Turtle Girl how much do you feed baby 3 week old turtles?? I saw your video where you said to feed them everyday but I went to a different source and they said twice a day?? Thoughts??
@@jroberts3577 theres absolutley nothing wrong with pairs. I've had a musk turtle and a red ear. I currently have a florida soft shell and a african side neck together
Love it!
Clap is so cute! :)
He looks happy in there.
I’m so late omg but I’m happy for this video 🤣❤️
I love your hoodie!
Nice vid 😁👌 one day I want a get a turtle😁
U have such beautiful turtles
Might be a dumb question but to fill the tank up, what is that your using? Looks like a standard garden hose but like what’s it attached to? Outside spicket? Sink? Idk, whatever it is it looks super simple compared to how I’ve been doing it and it doesn’t mix up the substrate which is cool.
I’ve been struggling on finding the perfect uvb lamp which one u recommend me
I have two red ear sliders with
About inch and a half to 2 inches max
black skirt Tetris they just ignore them but if I put any other fish or plant they go crazy they kill every fish except the Tetris and it’s been over a year might want to try them out they look like little discus with a black skirt
Love your channel... Sending love all the way from West Philly
I flinch with every clap lol WHAT POWER!
Which uvb lights do you prefer to use? I find myself having to change them often cause they go out :(
What are you using to keep both of your basking lamps up? Recently got a turtle tank but I don’t really have space on the rim of the tank to clamp down both of the lamp fixtures
Do u need a bubble filter in ur turtle tank or is it optional? Also do u need a fan thing in ur turtle tank or is it optional?
Both optional. But I’m sure your turtle would love it if you had them 😁
I NEED THAT HOODIE!!!
Those 15 dislikes are from the type of people that keep fish in a cup. Love this video! Thanks!
I have a baby painted turtle in a 37 gallon aquarium. I keep him with fat head minnows and foxtail. All things native.
I love your new profile picture!
thank you!
Just did this, this weekend myself. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
Try hortwort great floating plant
What type of sand do you use? AWESOME tank!!
What kind of water u add in your tank? I find myself adding alot of tap water conditioner ....I dont want to invest in expensive aqua water. ANY SUGGESTIONS! I LOVE URE VIDEOS AND U MAKE EVERYTHING FUN AND A PIECE OF CAKE..TO DO. THANKS FROM ny
So other than your basking light, what other light do you use? Also do you turn all the light off at night? Just got a red eared slider, trying to set it up right. :-)
You need a heat lamp and uvb light over the basking area. The lights don't need to be on at night. Also you need a water heater set around 78.
How do you keep the tank so clear?!!! Looks great. The wood in my tank I think murks it up.. but idk lol
I have a female slider in a 40 gallon breeder..
We have had a red ear slider that I found in the truck shop at work he was covered in dirt and grease and I would have stepped on him if he wouldn't have moved and caught my eye. He was the size of a silver dollar and is now the size of a soup can. Daughter thinks it's cool on how big he has gotten since I found him in August. Would it be okay to release him in the wild or is it to late?
Don’t release turtles you’ve had for longer than a month
What light systems did you use for the this size tank? Can you add a link to the same light you used?
I think you should make your tank more green :)
I bought my baby turtle a day ago and his tank seems to small is it ok if I move him over to a much bigger tank or should I let him settle in? I don't want to stress since I just got him.
So i have the same filter as you and I noticed your intake and output pipes are next to each other. Does that work better for you ?? I just got my filter and turtle so in not sure
So is hose water ok to use?
Where did you buy the big rocks for your turtle? I need to get some for my red eared slider.
🤩
I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 turtles and a few small fish. I currently have a bare bottom tank with rocks similar to yours. I love your substrate. What type of substrate is it? Where did you buy it?? Thanks for your feedback.
Help! I bought a set up for my turtle yesterday! A tank heater filter uvb light heat light and one of those floating baskins! He does not leave the water at all im scared its gonna drown! Im not sure if hes too scared or cant climb since he has been use to being in a really small tank (the ones u get from a swap meet. He’s about a yr and a few months old! Also When I put the heat light and uvb light it gets up to 105 F so I dont turn it on because I dont want to fry my turtle. How do I get it to 85-90 F? 😭
Hello I have 2 yellow belly turtles and I’ve been trying to look for a filter forever and I can’t seem anything that works right for me I have a 55 gallon tank and I don’t like to fill the water up to high because the rock they have is not that tall I’ve tried the cascade filter before but I can never get it to work I have tried it 2 times already
I'm over trying to do live plants in my red ears tank. She destroys them everytime. I do still buy them for her to eat tho. And the guy were I buy them from always gives me his plants that aren't doing well for cheap and free alot of times since he knows it's just for her to eat.
Anyone recommend stands forn75-80 gallon tank? Or two 40 gallon tanks?
Me: Yes do this show me your ways master
Hello from Brazil, TurtleGirl
I have a question: does my turtle need an area to lay eggs, even if It live all alone?
It does not need a nest area for a alone turtle
He so your turtle wont lay eggs unless they mate so if i have male and female then make one but if u only have one dont do it.
@@blitzmau7952 so what do you do with your alone turtle when she needs to lay eggs
Your turtle can absolutely lay eggs even if it has no mate, they just won't be fertilized. If you don't give her an area to lay eggs, she can become eggbound, which is deadly. I've been recommended an above-tank basking platform filled with play sand, though I haven't researched to confirm if that's the best.
@@huntergober9876 they can lay eggs without a male but the eggs will not be fertile so they won’t hatch
Hey guys! I have a question, how to I get my baby turtle to eat pellets and veggie all that he will eat are fish, I’ve tried not giving him fish and trying to get him to just eat pellets but he didn’t and his shell started to get soft so I am getting more nutritional fish as the ones I had were just treats but I don’t know what to do to get him to eat pellets (also I tried feeding in tank and smaller one that I left him in overnight and there were no signs that he was even interesting also I tried scenting) any advice would help thank you all!!!😊
Just wondering what camera u use cuz the quality is insanely good!
thanks! I shoot with a sony a7iii and 12-35mm lens :)
After adding my above tank basking area, my tank is really dark. Any suggestions for addl lighting?
What helps with slime on decorations and rocks?? :0
What sand do you recommend for a baby red slider?
What kind of fliter an bubble maker are you using?
My basking thingy that hooks on the top of the tank is a little small for my turtle tank, I see you have a bar to make it stay. What did you use? Please answer lol
what conditioner do you use to have turtle and fish in the same tank
I just bought a 75 gallon this weekend for my red eared slider adult male, my question is how do I keep the tank clear a little bit longer than a week and a half? I'm using Prime water conditioner, and making water changes 2x/month. Is there anything on the market that could help?
Christinna Starks Depends what kind of filter you are using, get one that is for at least double your tank size
Hello, I have 2 questions. The 1st question is, the LED strip light on the top, is that anything beneficial for the turtle or is it just for looks? Second question is what is that bubble machine you put on the back, what is the reason for the bubble machine
Do turtles need their tank to be cycled before they are put in?? Ive seen so many mixed answers 🤔
Hey I was just wondering about were u were keeping memo cause I remember in one of your other vids you had to take your tank apart so did u just keep it in another room? Just curious
Yes, this is a different room for where he has been in the past
If only I could afford a 75 gallon turtle tank with a canister filter. I can only barely afford a very small 29 gallon. Sad days. The 75 gallon looks beautiful though!
thanks! just keep saving, your turtle will love you for it ;) you can also take advantage of things like the dollar per gallon sale or searching for used tanks to make it affordable.
this hit home. some rooms are being redone in my house so i have to take all of my reptile cages off a huge shelf and dis-mantel it after each room is done. One of them is two hundred pounds and has to be lifted over the whole setup. rippp
eekkkk no fun 😂
Where did you get your turtle hoodie at the beginning of the video? I love it!
Yes!! I want to know too!!
yessss I have a question if a turtle is only a baby how long do reckon the turtle could stay in a 75 gallon tank for?
Hey will your family be using the fire place, I had my tank near the window and brother says the sun light wiuld warm water 😣😣😣
What kind of light are you using across the top?
a background would really enhance all the features of the tank!
My dog is Rocky too!!! Lol
What do you feed all your fish and is it ok if the turtle eats some of the fish food? Also, what size EHEIM heater would I need for a 75 gallon tank? Thanks!
it's ok if the turtles eat some fish food...I use a mixture of flake and pellet food. Heaters go by wattage, i think it's something like 2-3 watts a gallon for most people depending on how much you need to warm the water!
Does your turtle have a way to get its head out of the water? I believe they need air to breathe? And a basking station?
I have same size tank for my red eared slider(she's big). What type of filtration system do you recommend.
I'm not the turtle girl but I think it's a canister filter she is using idk what brand
@@Yoooowhat k thank you
Do you put hot water or cold water in your baby turtle tank
I am keeping an albino rainbow shark with my RES for a year now. I thnk, U can try tht one
What brand bulbs do u use
We recently found a turtle in our drive way. He is really tiny ( size of a munchkin you would get from Dunkin Donuts) so, we decided to take him in till he gets stronger. We live near a pond so we are going to take him there soon. He's doing well but he's very shy. He is eat but very discreetly swell. We created a tiny shelter but thing too fancy. He is a painted turtle. He is also shedding a bit. Anyone have some advice? Much appreciated!
Why not keeping it forever? It is a great pet. Also, if it gets used to be fed and taken care of, it wont survive on its on if you set him free later.
I would keep it
I had two turtles at the age of 8 and we re homed them when I moved, I’m hoping to get another red eared slider as a baby. What sized tank do you thing I should get? (Btw you are an amazing pet owner)
Where do you usually get your tanks? And what brand?
Enjoyed your content over the past couple days. I'm new to turtles so they have been very helpful in my research. Buy just one piece of advice. Little too much hand clapping! For those of us with headphones on, it's a wee bit too loud
ha! my apologies, I'll make a note. I just get excited sometimes :P thank you!
Ok so heads up the danios n buenos Aries are food for Nemo yu need fish bigger then him but I highly recomend jus mosquito fish they breed excessively and will always populate the tank n be a good food source
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

your awesome
