If you and Paul are still on speaking terms, you should check out the tub he bought for his albinos. It's preformed to allow for a big, beep swimming area on one side and on the other side, it's shallow but allows for substrate and hides. Simple but ingenious, although not particularly pleasing to the eye esthetically speaking (but no real difference from what you already have).
Turbo is beyond cute, smashing little fella. Nice video great information. I'm a former Red Eared Slider owner, he escaped from his enclosure when I put him out to bask in the Sun 😭
I wish I could show you my set up but living here in Michigan I’ve been keeping turtles for some time now. I currently have a 360 gallon tub where I keep my turtles. My 2 old men out of my small group will be turning 21 this year
Thanks for all the vids!! I was wondering if it is alright to take logs, rocks, and other natural decor to put inside a turtle tank. I just took in a Reeves Turtle and want to make his home as natural as possible but we do not have the space for an outdoor pond so building up a 40g tank for now.
To everyone suggesting plecos, they do not actually eat algae like they are commonly thought to do. Pet stores sell them as algae eaters because most people don’t know any better. They actually are scavengers and mainly feed on waste, excess food and wood. By consuming those things, the amount of nutrients in the water column is greatly reduced, in turn using up the food the algae needs to grow. To the aquarium owner, they then believe the pleco “ate” the algae. But once the pleco reaches a certain size, they create more waste than they consume and basically crash a system. So in short, plecos aren’t good for aquariums.
What I did to control my algae problem was adding a pleco to the turtle tank, it helped with the algae in the tank and on the turtle shell (really funny to see the pleco riding on the turtles back), I also use otos (otocinclus) great algae eaters and too fast for the turtle to be able to eat them.
I have tried adding plecos to my outdoor tube with 2 RES in it, but they only last for 3 days before they are "gone". After that i just let the algae grow since they are good for removing some amonia anyway. The only downside is i need to clean my RES more frequently to keep their shell clean from algae.
How big are the RES compared to the plecos? If the RES are a lot bigger and are too aggressive it would be a bad idea, I introduced a young pleco when my RES were still young, so they kinda grew up together. Also water temp could have been a problem, if it gets too cold the plecos may no survive.
When i put the plecos (±3 inch long) my RES are about that size too. And I'm sure i have pretty consistent water temp at that time (±29°C). Also i give my RES a food before introducing the plecos, so i never thought they would gone so fast.
Did they vanish or did you find the torn bodies in the tub? Your tub is outside, maybe something else got to them? Unless your RES are really aggressive which is weird... is your tub big enough to accommodate all of them with plenty of swimming space? Don't know what to tell you, never had issue with RES and any kind of fish being in the same place.
@@SoullForsaken well yeah, they are torn apart. Body part over here, body part over there. Also i have wire mesh as cover and the only predator in where i live is either a mouse or cat, so it's enough. My RES is nice to other turtle but not to any kind of fish 😅. Before this pleco, i put some albino corry too. Luckily i notice their tail is messed up badly on the next day, so i remove them immediately.
What's the correct spacing for a 50-watt halogen bulb I only have a 10 gallon tank right now until next week until I get a bigger tank but I'm dealing with a baby red eared slider I want to make sure it's happy and healthy so I'm doing the research but I trust his channel a lot more for the help
I'm using a 100 gallon stock tank to keep my turtle in side for the winter. I made a enclosure on the top and a dock made out wood . Scream top to set basking lamp on . It seams to work real well . I'm using one of the out side ponds fountain filter for filtration . Plus it moves the water .
Learning the hard way bro. A few things I would avoid. One your tank probably has way to much real sun light hitting it. two The medium in the tank doesn't look flushed due to the color of the water. three even though that's a small turtle I think you need a much larger filter for that size tank.
What is the best thing to use for getting algae off of a turtles shell?i have a baby Alligator snapping turtle and I don’t want to hurt him,I just need to know the best thing to get it all off. Thank you for the information and your love for all of God’s beautiful creatures. Love your videos man God bless you
definitely needed some serious algae eaters in that tank! would have had a field day, and with all that sun, they'd probably have a constant supply of food
On my channels intro video I explain how it all started with turtles - they’ll always be my first love! I’m really contemplating getting a turtle section for the channel !
Snails are probably better as they can just continue to breed better than fish anyway, and the baby snails (as long as they aren't poisonous) are perfect for little terrapins to eat, as well as other turtles.
i had 2 diamond backs in 80,s saved from a bucket sold for food in nyc , china town they were placed in 55 gal tank and an expert tod me how to make a wire mesh and wood cage siting on top of tank about 6 inches high or more the sand bar was a rubber maid type about 2 inches deep and fit over top lip of tank, turtles had whole tank to swim in without having dirty rocks to hold a basking spot. they had fresh air in their sand bar i bred northern common snappers , never bit me. maybe Mississippiensis snapers are much more aggressive even after hatching i saw then jump after people and snapping .I was taught to make a home made pool pump in water with big jar as filter and floss, over cleaning killed my friends turtles,he used diatom and killed all good , essential bacteria and bad, they got a growth on inside of mouth , looked like yellowish bone they could no longer eat the vet said it was a kind of canker and cant be removed they were dying and i tried with a dull small knife and got off a big piece and no blood but there was much more and was afraid to cause hemorrhaging, i tube fed them but it was to traumatic for them a he had to watch them slowly die, i got a much smaller tube and syringe to get some food with out much discomfort for the so at least they didn't completely starve, i only hope i did o.k.. To bad , they are great turtles if kept in conditions like i had i also rebuilt my mesh cover and made it over 1 foot high and on back tied with plastic lock ties logs and water plants and made a water fall, i never fed in tank only in rectangular five in high plastic tanks and fed separate waited an hour till they pooped and made my exotic plants flourish. great pets did not grow like red eared sliders that got so big so fast i took them by air to a lake used to keep unwanted red eared sliders, people them bought them on street illegally the size of a quarter and they would not eat till i found live brine shrimp and they woke up immediately and chomped . i had no idea diamond backs lived in nyc, and 15 or so years ago pregnant diamond backs and fancy spotted faced ones and the peppered face were crossing the tarmac at jfk airport and all planes were held till turtles passed by it happened again a few years ago it is on utube. Now wonder they were quickly on endangered list by being used in asian food markest and if they were not originally from NYC , how and why did they make to N.Y. is amazing, i guess through water rouht and a dangerous treck to find new nesting grounds i hope they found what they were looking for they crossin the tarmac is like the israelites crossing the sea of reeds, i hope they made it and are thriving.

1. carbon is the last phase of filtration. 2. Get rid of those filter rings, they're junk. Watch Pondguru on RUclips. He'll show you the correct bio media to use. 3. Cycle your tank before adding pets. Pondguru will show you everything you need to know.
People associate all algae with poor water quality. Brown algae is what you don’t want. That algae is probably protecting him from the direct sun that could heat up the aquarium very quickly.
who noticed? old footage...there was a video before where Kenan already shown and told of DBT living in there :) to Kenan: they arent vegeterian at all (ehhh, they could care less right) so why you dont put him in the rec pond? ultimate turtle for ultimate pond. and plz Malaclemys terrapin macrospilota... running around with a 1450euro costing turtle like who cares...

Now I’ve gotta go look 😜😆😆
personally I buy the 45 gallon cement mixing tubs from home depot. work very well if you’re on a budget
if it’s not in stock, go online and place an order for pickup in store
LOL when Turbo tried to bite your finger with is tiny mouth, he is adorable
Word of the day: aquariist; one who curates or builds aquariums.
That’s such a cute turtle.
I agree . Not going to like it made me want to het oen again haha
He is so adorable! Love watching him swim! Reminds me of when my turtle was a baby! Awesome video!!
Hard to beat having those tubs on hand. I even pick up the Zoo Med turtle tubs from time to time off Craigslist 👍🏼

Love your outfit your hat, beard and your reptiles
If you go to bulk reef supply they will sell strainers you can add to the standpipe. Keeps the pipe clean and easy to pull out and clean as needed.
That is the tiniest cutest little turtle!!!! I can't handle that level of cute. Put a cuteness overload warning next time! LOL

Looking too turn one of those tubs into an outdoor pond here in central florida.
Love turtles. Theyre just awesome...
💚🐢thank you for sharing this with us and and time 👌👍💚🐢
Your welcome🤠
All you need is a uv light get one for 100$ and you will nerver have to worry agen and you can keep the tank where it is
Very nice! I Enjoy every video myself.
I have a stock tank with 2 turtles a d 2 goldfish. Works great plenty of room

Like for kamp kenan!!!
silk screen with a rubber band would work well for that PVC pipe.
Love you videos Kenan.
Don't diamondbacks prefer or need brackish water?
There is no such thing as "Turtle Tube" in here, so i just buy second hand Koi Fiber Pond (which is expensive) but never regret that decision :)

They are so cute so small x say hi to slinky x
Can you add algae eating fish to take care of the problem?
Snails are probably better as they can just continue to breed better than fish anyway, and the baby snails (as long as they aren't poisonous) are perfect for little terrapins to eat, as well as other turtles.
I think u could add a clean up crew like shrimps , crabs and snails to keep it cleaner and to est it
Simple is better! Thanks

Bruh I haven’t seen this turtle since this video
Why not put plekos in the water of different aquariums?
Get some small pleco's for your terrapin tub to keep the algae down.
John G pleco eating algae is a myth. They eat left over food and waste which is turn cuts down the nutrients in the water and results in less algae but then they get big enough where they create more waste then they get rid of and actually causes more algae.
Love the videos! Keep it up.
You need some snails in there to eat the algae
Some hardy plants to help with the nutrient cycle as a whole would also help
lovely stuff
Thank you!!
If u cycle the tank it ain't impossible , but if u rush it like u did it's a different story....
No need to be a "aquarist"
Cycling the tank would change nothing in a turtle tank that’s outside.
Kenan in jeans lol
are diamond backs found crossing the JFK airport tarmac make it were they always there and kept secretly quete or from other place looking for new homes, maybe they came from a too poluted water like cheapeak and made that journy , do you know about this, need to know
Its aquarist😊
Why don’t u add sucker fish to eat the algie ?
Just cycle the tank and add shade, it should be fine.
And a uv light will stop him from getting alot of the sickness that they get
I think the little turtle will try and climb on the rock and knock it off and then he’ll get sucked in.
cool

Hmmmm be careful with the overflow pipe
Satria Wibawa are you joking? He just talked about doing that.
Toss in some mystery snails Or mosquito fish though eat it all up
Be careful with the rock and that little guy it could fall on him

Dont care what setup you make. A filter takes up to 6 weeks to cycle. You never gave the system time to cycle. So water would of turned regardless
