Indeed😊

You are a life saver. I was sitting here on my third filter that I've purchased in two weeks, which literally is not working for my setup. I was almost in tears trying to figure out how to keep my baby turtle safe. You just answered all of my questions about different filtration and how they work. You've made my choice A LOT easier! You are awesome, ty!

I have my grandturtle this summer, so I've been doing a LOT of YouTubing on care for res. YOU are by far the best. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining things so well.

Thank you for explaining. I have a tub setup and thinking of buying canister filter. Now i know it's probably not gonna work because it has to be lower than my tub setup. This video saved my wallet

I know im almost a year late but wow is your channel and this video specifically great! So many videos just say "cotton batting and pot scrubbies", i really appreciate that you showed us how it all works :) working on building a trickle down filter right now

I was also thinking of the live plant filter ;) but that’s way inefficient and requires more maintenance as well as lighting and places limits on filter layout. Although, I do have some in my back yard and seems to do well for my outdoor turtles. Powerful video. U have me pumped to do some DIY and make an outdoor tub/pond setup

Hey Dan I'm currently setting up an outdoor tub for my adult male red eared slider,what filter do you think would be good?

Thank you!!

Gorgeous turtles

Thank you so much ❤️

So cool

what is in your opinion the best filter media and order to put in the filter

Thankyou!

Great Video ! But you forgot to talk about box filters with fountain attachment

That diy filter, do you have plans or a video how to make that?

I use canister filters on my turtle tanks. They work great for me.

Hey Dan, super helpful video! Question, which media so you recommended using for a hang on back filter? I've been using the replacement stuff that comes with the kit I buy, but what do you think is gonna be best? It's a 20 gal tank with one juvenile painted turtle. Thanks so much!

@DanTheTurtleMan_

Hi there! For a hang on back I'd use 100% polyester/filter floss/sponges. It's real cheap from Walmart (it's basically stuffing).

My wife and I are going to be moving our Red Eared Slider Hatchling into a much larger tank than hte one he has now. (40 gallon ZooMed tank we got from Petsmart) I was wondering what your thoughts were on how to go about doing a DIY filter for that setup? I was thinking a three stage system with each stage being in its own 5 gallon bucket. Stage 1- polyester mechanical, Stage 2- Bio Balls or something simillar, Stage 3- charcoal. Let me know what you think, thanks.

Hey buddy! Nice video!

Im gonna have a center overflow of 1.5 pipe, dropping into a filter sock then through media and pumped back in.

I'm looking at getting a red eared slider or Diamondback terrapin. I dont have much in the way of cash (I'm getting my degree), but I was wondering if I could use an undergravel filter. (I'd obviously need larger stones, not normal gravel) Will that work or do I need to spend the money on a better filter?

Honestly the one thing I wouldn't skimp on is filtration. You can build your own really easily if you need to! Just spend the $20-30 on a pump and work from there :)

Hi I am a tropical fish keeper and I have a musk turtle 🐢 I have a uv steriliser ( vecton uv ) in with my Filtration system will this take anything away from the water that the turtle may need am I best removing my UV sterilising filter or will it be okay I’m so unsure as I’ve never had a musk turtle before thanks

Possibly!!! Observe the turtle and see how well it swims against the current. If it's too strong, lower it :)
