Default My new own-designed turtle tank setup by Yonghua



Just got this tank before Chinese New Year. Self designed and custom made by YongHua (he not paying me for this )

Caught my 2 turtles enjoying some dry time and took a photo quietly because they always jump into the water and swim to the front to wait for food when they see me or my mum.

Shoe cabinet


Running on sump tank. Yah the back section is meant to be planted but no time since Chinese New Year busy and now become lazy... Think I do prob next month or so.

The cabinet not 100% follow my spec since I first time design and forgot that need to make space for wooden support in the middle. My only regret is the cabinet too low by 10 cm and thus can only squeeze in a small sump tank about 2feet by 1 feet by 24 cm height. Original should be 30 cm height. Water evaporation high for this setup due to the waterfall ramp. Need to top up water every 3-4 days but 1 small pail enough already.

Normal lighting nia. This tank outside the corridor so got full blast afternoon sun. The pellet I feed got additional Vit D3 so more than sufficient.
