    200 Gallon rebuild

    Thanks. I'm really happy the way it turned out. I have 3 red ear sliders in the tank. They're about 7 inches long.

    200 Gallon rebuild

    Any fish I try putting in there get eaten...even if they're bigger than the turtles :( I'm not sure if it'd make much of a difference now that they're in a bigger tank though. Before I had them in a 50 gallon.

    2 Fluval 403 filters Bakersfield, CA Pick-up or shipping

    I got these two filters when I bought my 200 gallon aquarium but decided to go with two fx5's instead. I know one works for sure but the other one didn't pump when I plugged it in. Worse case scenario you have extra parts. I'd prefer pick up but will ship at buyers expense. Please feel...

    200 Gallon rebuild

    I'm still working on it but I'm pretty much done. I'm going to be putting in some larger pieces of driftwood and possibly some plants. I'm actually pretty happy the way it turned out because this was my first time building anything like it. We'll see how my turtles like it :)

    200 Gallon rebuild

    Went off to finish school so didn't have much time to finish this. Before I left though, I filled up the tank in the garage and it held water for a month before I emptied it. Anyways, here are some updated pictures.

    200 Gallon rebuild

    Well I spent the whole day scraping off the silicon the best I could. It was still wet underneath so it made cleaning up difficult since it just smeared. I gooped on a bunch of silicon and reset it back in so I hope it doesn't leak where the old silicon was. It was still tacky underneath...

    200 Gallon rebuild

    You're probably right...better safe than sorry. It took me a 4 days to get that old silicon off. :( I know old silicon doesn't stick to new but does this mean I have to cut everything again? Or do you think I'd be fine just cutting out that side panel. It's the long sides that actually...

    200 Gallon rebuild

    I was just now looking at it and noticed that on the bottom of one of the short sides isn't straight up and down. It slid and is about 1/3 hanging off the lip. It's too late to move it because the silicon is already dry to touch. Does this mean I have to cut the whole thing again

    200 Gallon rebuild

    Bought a 200 gallon aquarium on craigslist for $150 that came with 2 Fluval 403 filters. The aquarium on the bottom was cracked so I took the whole thing apart and put it back together with a new sheet. I hope it holds because this is the first time I've actually done this :) I'm using GE...

    DIY turtle platform.

    I made one out of plexiglass and some teflon. This was in my 30 gallon tank but I have the same for my 50 gallon with a sheet of green grass stuff instead of the rock and log. I just bought a 200 gallon tank so I'll be thinking of something for that :drool: Check out this site for...
