Hello everyone, I recently adopted a Pig nose turtle from my friends college because she needed the home. I am going to go pick her up next Tuesday. I currently have a 150 gallon tank (with filters, light, stand, and heater) that I am going to set up in my bedroom for her. I also have some small and big nice rocks for the aquarium that I need to clean and was thinking about getting sand.
Some basic questions if anyone has the knowledge or has had the experience!
1) Is there anything I should know about what water to initially fill the tank with as well as specific (the best) cleaning supplies for rock and tank.
2) Is it possible for me to setup my tank and a self sustaining take so there is little/or low upkeep for me moving forward (including specific plants in the habitat etc.).
3) Any additional tips or things to look out for, for being a first FTR owner?
Thank you in advanced for any helpful advice. I am excited to get this tank set up and get my turtle healthy and happy while I put together a 250-300 gallon for her!
