Yes, a lot of fish will swim in there as well.
Another one of my hobbies is fishkeeping and aquascaping. I'm still relatively new to aquascaping (<2 years) and this is my latest effort. This is the planting sketch of what it could look like when the plants have grown in:This is what it currently looks like:There are bamboo skewers with tags of the intended plant selections. The skewers are a great way of visualizing where the plants will grow from between the manzanita branches.Without the skewers.I still need to get LED lights capable of growing aquatic plants and a CO2 reactor to dissolve CO2 into the water. It's a work in progress but I thought I'd share this other hobby of mine.
For turtles, you can use aquarium gravel or go to Home Depot and get pea gravel. I think it only costs <$6 for 50 lbs. Turtles eat a lot and poop a lot so you'll need a water filter (either internal or external) if you don't already have one. And be sure to vacuum and change the water once or twice a week to remove the poop. Otherwise, it will accumulate and algae and bacteria will grow out of control. Make sure the turtles have UVB light or their shells won't grow properly; you can also put them by the window as sunlight contains UVB.What kind of turtles? Some require water and enough room to swim.
I have a couple of Red Sliders Which are quite common in the US but not necessarily a native in all areas. I have a filter and a light shining down on them since they like that. But the bottom of the aquarium is reflective so worried the light reflects which increases heat in an unnatural way.
You should do it in slightly thicker glass. I looked at it with slightly thicker glass, and it clearly better that way. I wont show it, but it's better. Trust me.It's not that it's my opinion, it's just the truth. It makes so much more sense if you'd use thicker glass.I once had an aquarium, so I know what I'm talking about.
I'm impressed. It's a lot closer to the original drawn image than I expected.
