• they are adjusting well! they are eating crickets and grasshoppers, but they wont eat the pellet food. the texas map is 2 inches and the pearl river map is 1 and a half inches. they really loke their new home! they just keep exploring and hiding in the tree roots. they LOVE wood piles so im adding more wood in the tank tonight. i will have pics up soon!
• hey people! its been a while since i posted but ive been too busy at work to do much of anything lately. crush and tiny are no longer with us. i wanted something different as far as turtles go so i found them a great home with someone who knows thier stuff with turtles and was looking for some red ear sliders. not that they are not great turtles, i miss them very much, but just wanted something out of the ordinary. i got two map turtles. one is a texas map, the other is a pearl river map. the texas map turtle’s name is Iggy and the pearl river map turtle’s name is Ziggy. i hope to have pics up soon! well thats all on my end, anyone have any questions, go for it. p.s. tiny and crush are happier i think, they are in a HUGE set up!! 260 gallons! the person who took them lives close so i can still see them from time to time.
• hey just sent you some pics of my tank,crush,and tiny! hope you get them. let me know if you did or didnt. like i said before im not computer literate so i dont know if i did it right or not. thanks!
• got the xp4 last night and set it up. working just fine. cant wait to get pics up, waiting on the water to clear a little more tho. for logos, thats funny, i thought that it was some foreign name for turtle! lol. thats cool tho. do you know of any sites that have instructions on DIY above the tank basking area? would like to check it out. the turtle topper isnt big enough for my tank. i think i read somewhere that they are for tanks up to 55 gallons or something like that. the xp4 is doing well. i have read some bad reviews of the whole xp line and i think that most of them were due to improper set up or there were a few that really did have bad filters. i am having no trouble what so ever with mine. it works like a top! i think that most of the people probably had air in the filter somewhere or didnt read the instructions thru. anyway i would def recomend it to anyone!
• thanks to everyone for your answers! since i added a lot more bio media yesterday my tank looks a lot less cloudy today. i think i will have crystal clear water. im thinking about exchanging the xp3 from the place i got it and getting the xp4 since it is only 40 bucks more. i think that will be plenty for my set up. why not more filter for a little more money? i think i am going to remove the gravel, glad you guys know your stuff! saved me a lot of trial and error. thank you both very much for taking time to help out. above the tank basking area? how do you keep them from climbing out? sounds cool. would very much like to see some pics of it. and by the way, what exactly does forlogos mean?
