GOOD IDEA!.... how can i set up an overflow ino the sink i have a 30 gallon or a 29 long... i dont have the tank all the way full at all ? i have like 4 inches of water thats it
You would have to drill the tank in order to plumb it for an overflow unless someone has a better way!
i've had my common snapper for 2yrs and have only done water changes when the tank smells. and beleive me it will. they do breathe air so water quality shouldn't be a problem as far as i know and my turtle shows. i filled my 29L/H? 4-6 inches from the top and got him a floating log from petco. i got my turtle from a river, he's only ever aten like 5 fish. bu he loves crayfish. he's curently in a 250gl pond behind my house w/ 15 goldfish and he hasn't touched any
I have a rubbermaid tote with a 5 gallon bucket half filled with scrubies and a plastic planter pot with holes drilled in the bottom on top of that with filter pads and filter floss in it. I have to break it down to fix a leak, I'll take pics if i can find my camera.
if you dont have plans of getting a 125 gal tank+, u should let it go before it forgets how to hunt
