Truth is not very good as they should call or be called a "Turtle Aquarium" is not whether to call it turtle, or reptilera, biotype, etc.. It is a confusion that was there, and there you are going to leave! - If some of you know how you should call, I would be most grateful for that information and try to get a discount the next time you stop by the store!! - Deal??
Well, the truth of the matter is that without knowing what it is called, is exactly what is and what people want when it comes to that!
Surely you are looking for "something" or "somewhere" to place and leave it there for the turtles, a place where not be necessary to change the water every minute, a place where there is no risk that they get sick from lack of care, a place where they feel good and are happy! - Is that what you want?? - Well, the solution is simple! pour it into a lake!!
For friends who do not want to drop into the pool of neighborhood park, and do not have enough space to build a pond in your backyard, I have no choice!
A "Turtle Aquarium" (as I call it) is nothing more than a simple aquarium with bottom filter installed correctly, with gravel or pebbles or whatever you want to call you, placed or scattered at the bottom, but some stone slabs and a few snags.
I would say that is basically an aquarium, but with a "small detail" that differs from a normal aquarium ... the water is filled up (half) and slabs of stones and trunks above water. - Why fill it halfway?? Many wonder .. and the answer is;
- "Yes" to fill it up, not going to see anything! (A turtle I mean) other things like rocks and logs you can see, but no turtles, and the reason is because they (the turtles) are mounted over the rocks and logs! - And so will not see anything from the front of the aquarium! - And if you try to see from above, they will not see anything because the lid is going to stop ... que tal?
Some of you will say, well, I do not pay cover to F. ... tank, period! - Separate from the top it look nicer!!
Well, if they do that .... are to escape the turtles!
ok I hope that my explanation is able to dissuade them on the issue of water level and the top, so we continue with the other details of the aquarium (for turtles)
As I said from the beginning, an aquarium with the basic tools for a normal aquarium is enough to keep them healthy without the need to devote as much attention in the daily If the turtle. Maintenance
Keeping turtles in a tank of this type is much simpler, but nevertheless requires some attention, which should be undertaken regularly, and on which we will mention below;
- Cleaning the bottom: 1 time every 15 days - the turtles are animals with a voracious appetite enviable, and for that reason ... dirty aquarium water rather quickly. The burden of nitrifying bacteria present in the biological filter (UGF) can deal with this overload "if" they provide a good aeration, but solid waste shall not enough time to degrade in the aquarium, and for that reason we must remove them manually. "If" your budget allows, would be an excellent idea to incorporate the help of a "mechanical filter"
