still working on it...

since i took out the second piece of wood from the fish tank, i figured it would make a good temp basking area for the turltes while i find something bigger we also hooked up the two HO light bulbs

this is before we hooked up the HO lights



after....



i think this is the closest i will ever get to having a sea turtle, LOL, but these guys seem to really enjoy being able to swim alot























oops, the "food-giver" has been spotted

Re: still working on it...

HO is a high output light. those ones are actually aquarium lights, we got the strip for free

doesnt it look like they are really underwater, and not just in a home aquarium? i love the lights

Re: still working on it...

thanks everyone i love the new tank, i wonder how long this one will last before i have to upgrade them again LOL. we are gonna get a 75gal pretty soon, i wonder if i should just give the turtles that tank and give this 60gal to the discus....decisions decisions

these guys dont have names im horrible at names, one of my boas doesnt even have a name yet any suggestions?

and ugh...these guys are chomping on the driftwood already bad turtles!! as if they arent fed enough already!! they think EVERYTHING around them is food, they pick at the gravel trying to eat it, the try to eat the plants, im gonna try giving them some anacharis and see if they like it, ill have to grow plenty of it in my fish tanks to support some of the turtles diet LOL.
