    Your filter mod has cut down my slider tank cleaning to once a month and as a bonus has given me the most natural looking clear water ive ever had in the tank!!!

    Thank you for sharing! I have one of these filters, which came with my tank. I was thinking of adding a second filter to improve the water quality. Now, I can simply add additional filter media. There is plenty of room inside this thing anyway. You’re right about having to constantly buy those filter cartridges.

      @Emmett Matthias Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
      Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

    seems like for the added cost keeping the stock cartridge setup (I get the build your own option which gives 24 cartridges for about $16) and adding the media and biomax may work out the best (the stock cartridge is basically mostly just a carbon filter and a floss bag).

    Hi ty for your advice, can you show us a video when you put in the Carbon and in what order should it go inside the filter?

    Just upgraded mine to the TetraFauna 140 GPH Statuary pump. Flow is much better.

    Can you add a link for each product to your video description? I found a red ear slider turtle 🐢 at the lake. Now I have a 60 gallon tank with a filter suitable for up to 90 gallons. Or add a time stamp in video description for each product that you have inserted pictures for.

      @@burtman9649 my husband found a red ear slider in his work parking lot leaving work yesterday, no water around except and ditch. Looks to be a hatchling like can’t be that old at all. He didn’t want it to die so he brought it home and now we have a pet turtle named Tuck 😂 at any rate we went to out local reptile store and spent like $300 bucks to get this turtle the best habitat possible. I guess I wanted to say all that to ask, would you have left a little hatchling with no others around in a massive warehouse parking lot? I just want to do the right thing ya know and if we should take it back I will!!

    How often do you change everything? Do I have to change the bio media and if so how often? Also, the sponges? How often do I replace them?

      The Bio media should be changed every 6 months or so and the sponges last a very long time just take some water from your tank and wash it in there and put it back in. The sponges and media have beneficial bacteria that helps the tank and your pets. You can changed the sponge when it's breaking apart they usually last a while!!

  • @alk3myst
    @alk3myst 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can't really see where the biomax is by the sponges. Did you stick it on the inlet side or the filter side or just underneath the sponges.

  • @alk3myst
    @alk3myst 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You linked to the pre-filter media, not Biomax :( Also looks like you used the 30 gallon sponges and not the 50.

    New to the turtle game yuuukk loll questions how much water should a turtle tank have and does the repot filter have water on the inside? Mine just has it near the bottom not full?
    And the holes on the bottom do they get clogged?
