I had the same problem with one of the fixtures on my double dome light. You can unscrew the ceramic socket from the light and replace it with the other ceramic socket by just unscrewing it from its base and screwing it into the other one.

Could you do Nemo's tank tour next? And I did have a question, in your opinion, what is the best in-tank basking area? I'm not a huge fan of above basking areas, and when I do get a turtle in the future hopefully, I would know. And again, in your opinion, what's the best in-tank filter? Because I would want a screen lid, but they don't fit with HOB filters, unless do you know how to cut them? I don't wanna make my own because I'm nit talented!! 😂

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm thinking I'll do Nemo's sometime next month :) For in-tank basking areas, the usual zoo med floating docks work well, you just have to watch out for it sinking under the weight of the turtle and make sure the turtle isn't biting the foam the dock is made of. Personally not a big fan of in tank filters...imo they take up too much room in the tank. Since you're already most likely going to be using an in-tank basking area, the tank will not be full to the top, so you won't have to worry about escapees and a lid probably isn't necessary. If you did that, you could still use a hang on tank power filter or a canister filter. If you absolutely need to use an internal filter, then I say just get a large whisper filter and put a filter media pad and some bio media (like ceramic rings, bio-balls, or even lava rocks) in it.

Do you suggest having fish inside the tank or any snails?
@TheTurtleGirl
@TheTurtleGirl 6 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't "suggest" it persay, because of the likelihood of the turtle eating them, but you can certainly try! Any snails you put in there have a high chance of being eaten...ramshorns are a favorite treat for mine :P

dont you think you would need a better filter for that tank? I may be mistaken but it seems small to filter x3 of the tank. Also, how big is Hoku? Thx
@TheTurtleGirl
@TheTurtleGirl 6 жыл бұрын
Hoku has hit about the 4 inch mark, and the filter is actually an aquaclear 70, so rated for a little bit more than double the tank size. I've also added additional bio media to maximize beneficial bacteria, and it's working well!

Bio media is just a term for the stuff you put in the filter that grows beneficial bacteria, like sponges, ceramic rings, bio balls, ect. :)

Hi Stacie! It depends on the species and gender of the two turtles you are thinking of, as well as the size of tank you are planning on keeping them. All too often, turtles will fight. In fact my own adoptee, Nemo, has actual damage to his shell as a result of being housed with another turtle. So, in short, no, I usually don't recommend putting two turtles together.

+Op_Raz -HD Mobile Gaming Thanks for watching! The tank was given to me by my uncle (its a 29 gallon), but you can usually find them on craigslist or your local pet store. I have more on tanks in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7NneLtplradpYk.html The rocks were from a local gravel yard, as I said in the video, and the play sand was from home depot. :)
