Setting Up A 40 Gallon TURTLE TANK! 

Thanks for watching! I’m super happy with how this tank turned out! Let me know what you guys think, & also let me know what kind of fish we should put in here!⬇️

Personally I think that some lyretail mollies or some sort of smaller tetra (rummynose?) or maybe even some fancy guppies. Just some extra fast moving color would help the tank pop in my opinion. Nonetheless, you’re on a roll dude. I’m absolutely loving your videos and what you’re doing. You’ve inspired me so much, and are super underrated. Keep it up

Wow TYSM for going through what I need. From a new turtle owner, this video is amazing! Thank you so much Carson. I copied you and got what I needed.

Honestly I would go with live-neared such as guppies, platies, or mollies. Great set up!

Second, you should get a shell dweller tank they’re amazing unique cichlids

Buying my first home and I really want to get into the hobby. Thanks for putting up all this great content!

great video. just wanted to add...the uva/uvb bulb helps them to absorb calcium. with out the light they can suffer from metabolic bone disease, and that causes the shell to become deformed and they also wont shed scutes and cause retained scutes but yea there are other reasons.. Also if you can use the lamp stand holder instead of setting the lights on the screen its waaay more beneficial for their health. When you place it on glass or screen it disrupts the amount of rays and then they dont get to absorb as much and makes the light seem super weak. so if you can avoid it, its the best.

Ha ha...your very last tip about being sure they wouldn't get wedged in was going to be my very 1st sentence!!! They look MAHVELOUS!!!

The new turtle aquarium looks amazing, the turtles look big and it is so much better to see them than when they we in the tub. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next video.

Love your videos Carson, You should get a map or painted turtle

Hi from Scotland! You are my biggest inspiration in the fish-keeping hobby and every day that I see you upload it just instantly makes me feel better! I have got a 90 litre community tank in my room now because of how much you have helped me fall in love with the hobby and it is running amazingly mostly because of your tips in your videos! Thanks for being such a great youtuber and an even better person!

also the uva/uvb and heat lamp needs to be between 10 to 12 in away from the turtles shell when they are on the basking dock. your set up turned out so AWESOME. they will love it so much

We need a snapping turtle now!😁😁

The tank looks great Carson!! I can't wait to see what content comes out of it

Just came from the live!

My 5 and 8 year old daughters love watching your videos!! My 8 year old wants to see an angelfish in there with the turtles

I love the tank!! Seeing the turtles and it looks so cool!

Thanks for your videos Carson! Love watching what you do with your tanks. I used to spend my summers in Belleville when I was a kid, as a Cubs fan, I took a lot of flack!! Lol

I have a red earred slider and a western painted in a 40 gallon breeder but can not add fish as they keep eating them. Any suggestions on fish that would be safe with them would be great as they just like to hunt and eat them.

So stoked to get comment of the day 😁 Thanks Carson!! Another great video!

You inspired me to get a turtle Carson thank you I just got one today I have everything think the turtle needs it’s in a 40 gallon breeder for now.

The turtle for sure will climb out. My red eared slider jumped out of mine. Found him hiding in a corner.

It turned out super good!

Carson I love ur vids you are the best aquatic dude I have seen on RU-vid I have a little baby river cooter that’s in a tub that you posted a while back keep up the great work

Looks good! I have my baby musk turtle with platys, so they won't be harmful if he eats them. He's in a 40g breeder also. Prime neutralizes ammonia for 48 hours too, so that's why I prefer it over other water conditioners.

I cannot wait to set up mine. Loved this

Love your videos! Can’t stop watching, keep up the good work! Maybe some Rasboras for the turtle tank?

Ohh man it’s a good day when Carson uploads

wow womderful tank man love the videos! ps great tank once again

Thanks for making my day with the turtle tank! I love turtles and love seeing how people choose to set up the tank

At 3:00 why not go for the thrive above tank basking area in the bottom shelf? It’s built for 40g breeders!

The wood 🪵 basking area looks amazing on my tank

I love turtles❤

I have a albino red eared slider too. Mine 4inch Juvenile Female.

I suggest zebra danios, white cloud minnows, or ender guppies

Yes sir carson has uploaded!!!

Would you please do a video on setting up a semi turtle tank. Also, how do I disinfect a fish tank im using now for 2 wood turtle hatchlings?

Looks Great 👍

keep on going with these amazing videos you have really helped so many people to get into keeping aquariums!

It's looking nice BTW. I will send in 3 tank pictures for tank Tuesday.

My little brother got a gorgeous Betta fish today, and my brother and I are getting turtles, while my bigger sister is getting an axolotl all because you inspired us to get pets :))

You are the best youtuber

watching your vids makes me want to get out my old tank and get myself some fishies again =)

LESS GOOOO Carson that tank be lookin fire

Hey Carson I’m about to set up my 40 gallon on Black Friday. I already got the tank and lights. I just need the rest of the things then my red eared slider Toby is gonna love it. Happy thanksgiving Carson

I was thinking of getting some red ear sliders but Idk because I don't want them to bit me if I were to pick them up.

Great setup.

Hi! I have a turtle I need to move into a bigger tank. What filter did you use in this video?

that uvb light you need a bar light. I have 3 beard dragons and the bar is better for the light so for the turtles you need that also

how often do you do water changes for your turtles?

hi, I have had a turtle for 5 years now but I have just started to do research. Last year I upgraded to a 350 stock tank outside, I have 3 turtles, a 6 inch, and two 5 inches, it is currently NOT filtered. I was looking at what GPH a new filter should be some places say it should be times 5 but a filter for 1750 gallons seems like a lot. Help I don't know what to do.

Carson i think the way you putted the heat lamp on the glass lid the turtules can’t get enough heat from the lamp

Yaaay it worked this time

It's this good size for red ear slider turtle 🐢

I love how you never give up😃 You inspire me💖

Epic video bro! I love it! That last video was super sad haha. It looked so good!

9:07 I never saw how big midas was lol

would i need to use the bacteria starter every time i do full water changes for the turtle tank?

I got a few questions. What kind of light bulbs r they, what type of water heater is it, and what kind of water filter?

super nice tank

Hello thanks for the information video. I havnt got a turtle 🐢 yet but I’m doing a lot of research and planning and thinking on the whole project. I want to get a large fish tank. Then I’m thinking of putting in a divider in a small area of the tank. Then I want to fill it with plants 🌱. The turtle will not be able to access it so the plants should grow. What do you think? TIA on anyone giving me their opinion

I can never get my water clear like that for my turtle! I’m going to have to do the same steps you did . I have water conditioner but that doesn’t work

Pretty Cool Video Bro

*Help Needed: I have had two baby yellow bellied sliders for about 6 months now with no issue, just recently as it has gotten colder (I didn't have a heater) they started to get lethargic not eating as much. So I bought a heater, replaced my heating bulb - but they still don't swim around that often and only eat sparingly almost not even interested in the feeding pellets. They are just sitting in a corner at the bottom the tank rn. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! I don't know what else to do - i have checked for any visible sign of illness and they look okay. The tank is a 20 gallon high, water temp 79 degrees, food mix of pellets and shrimp, and I do regular water changes.

Ayooooo that tank is hot hottt 🔥

I love your videos SO much and they teach me to set up tanks keep with it 👍

Get some tiger barbs for that turtle tank it would look stunning!!!

Love ur turtle videos there my favorite

I swear he had a next turtle too

Hi, I wanted to know where you got your cave?

Always love your videos

I want to be like you when I have alll of turtle that I have but I have only 1 by tomorrow's I support you!

VERY NICE

What's the best way to clean a tank that has been given to you.

lol you should put (again) in the title 😂

Great job! 👍🏻

That looks great

One time for the OG Sheldon fans! ☝🏼

Carson please tell me what pump you are using on the turtle tank. I can't find one that will work and I have the same tank! Thanks!

Great video it's looks like a great home for them

That's not enough basking space for 3 turtles

I missed you homie good video 💯💯

How often do you change the water? How do you keep the water so clear? My tank water keeps turning a light green.

i think im getting a 40 gallon tank for my red eared slider and this is what i hope to make it. this is the most coolest channel ive subbed too super underated and really making great content! and also what filter did you use?

**also...turtle are high maintenance and a very long term commitment...please do your research before getting one. *** (not aimed at Carson) Rule of thumb...10 gallons of water for every inch of shell length...example: a turtle that is 3 inches long need a minimum of 30 gallons of WATER....meaning you need a 40 or up gallon tank....honestly the tub was a great set up....the glass tank might look better...but IMO the tub was a better environment!

Can they go in a smaller tank when they're babies

filter recommendations?

nice video bro the tank looks so good!

Hey man, what filter is that that you used, I’ve been looking for it 6:26

What kind of the fish and turtle will eat the fish , thabk you

What do you recommend putting into my turtle tank if my little piggy eats any plant in sight aside from the greens he is supposed to eat?

you should remove the goldfish they like cooler water maybe turn the tub into a indoor goldfish pond.

😂turtles are so cute

Hey Carson!

What happened to the live plants? Gotta make the switch

Were you using real or fake plants?

Perfect size for an adult musk

Looking great!

Good info!

Hey Carson do you know of anyway I can keep my turtle tank clear and not foggy? And do you have any suggestions on turtle filters?
