New 4ft Tank

[Pearsondesign]

Ok, i currently have 3 fish tanks in my house.
1 jewel 180 for my community tank
1 Arcadia Arc tank for my sammler musk turtles
1 2ft tank for my larger soft shelled turtle and map turtle.

Tonight i pick up my new 4ft tank, which is gonna be for my soft shell and map turtle

As i have a keen interest in aquascaping, i figured i may aswell post some WIP info and pics

Ok, the existing turtle tank looks like this

Im going to keep the rock wall background, and also attempt to heavily plant it out, but the soft shell does like to bury in the sand, so it might not work out the way im thinking lol

Also, im going to fill it with a decent amount of fish, otherwise the 4ft tank will look a tad empty

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions then please feel free to add them i always like hearing other peopls ideas
PICS WILL BE ADDED TONIGHT

Do soft shells bask?

I love your soft shell, so neat!

 

[mixmaster jay]

yes and no they are not really strong baskers but they will do now and then

didnt have a chance to put pics up last night, but here is the tank
gonna set it up today, so will post more pics later on

although it appears no one cares, ill put the pics up anyways

the tank hasnt settled properly yet, but you get the idea.

the rest of the fake rock wall is going in today, so its still not finished

the old turtle tank is now outside with a crayfish and some stickleback and minnow fry in it

anyways, if anyone cares, post a reply and let me know what you think

ill put some better pics up later when water clears a bit more

That looks great, lovinh the rock background, really sets the tank off well!

 

[Pearsondesign]

cheers!

its just annoying that it isnt clear yet, the old tank was clear in half the time, and this one has larger filters lol

gonna be putting some of my fish in later too, otherwise itll be abit boring

got to make sure they are fast fish or large ones that wont be eaten lol
