Love your videos! I am a high school science teacher and my students run aquarium tanks. We have about 6 running in the classroom. This year one group decided to get a turtle so I have been watching a ton of videos and collecting/making stuff for that tank. Your videos have been very helpful! Thanks!

Nice job! Normally I make a mini dock out of pvc/egg crate for my turtle to rest on. This is much prettier.

Thanks!!

Looks very nice. Does the turtle use it often? I'm planning to put one like this on my turtle tank

@hannahhsu99 9 месяцев назад

I would love to make this for my turtle but I don't have the equiptment necessary to make it (like the heating gun, mainly) would you be willing to make and sell? (or at least the bent acrylic glass) or do you know where I could purchase something like it? Thank you so much regardless, great video! (also I love your logo haha)

@LongLiveYourTurtle 8 месяцев назад

Hey thanks! I do not sell these but if you know someone that is even a little handy and has the tools this can easily be done. Everything can be purchase from the hardware store. Lots of stores will cut the acrylic for you as well. Good luck!

Hey nice vid, what is the name of the sand you use at the bottom & is it helpful in keeping the tank clean or just used for the visual. Thank you.

@LongLiveYourTurtle 2 года назад

Pool filter sand. Make sure it is just sand with no additives. Looks good, gives the turtle something to dig around in and can harbor some beneficial bacteria but the filter is where a majority of the cleaning happens. Thanks!

have u ever considered an acrylic tank? or badidea for turtle?

@LongLiveYourTurtle 2 года назад

Acrylic Tanks are cool, but expensive and scratch easily! Not great when you have a turtle clawing around all the time.

What kind of Stand do you have and where did you get it from ? Looking to buy a stand for my 75 gallon

@LongLiveYourTurtle 2 года назад

I actually got mine from someone on Craigslist and repainted it. But it is a standard stand for standard 75 gallon tanks. My tank is an Aqueon. Not sure if they still sell the one I have.
