What Do You Actually Need for a Turtle Tank??

This video shows everything you need for a turtle tank setup. If you follow these steps, you should have your turtle tank set up in no time.

The first thing you need for a turtle tank is obviously the tank itself, which will probably be the most expensive item. From there, you will need a heater, a filter, decorations, and ideally a substrate.

My little brother brought a red eared slider home from a bayou and now we keep it in our backyard.
We've only had it for about 24 hours so it's living situation is a fenced in area and a trashbag pit with water in it.
I plan on changing that soon.
These videos are helping right now.

Great video, sir. I’ve had my turtle for over 14 years. But I very much enjoyed your video. It was very informative. Covered all the bases.

I watched a YouTube video where a man said when you feed the turtles, take them out of the tank, put them in a separate container. Feed them there, then put them back in tank once they've finished. That way they don't mess up the tank. I've done that and yes it really helps!

Very nice video, and great information. However I have a question, eventually I will have to put my turtle in a 75 gallon tank, how in the world am I supposed to clean a 75 gallon tank? How do you let the water out without taking the tank to a sink or draining it in a bucket. Currently I have to clean my turtle tank at least once a month in order for it not to have any smell and for it to stay clean and clear. I currently have a 20 gallon long tank and my turtle is about 4 inches. Also, if I upgrade the tank to a 75 gallon tank do I get a Long one or a tall one?

We have a RES and she is in a 50 gallon tank .she is about 7 inches. What kind of filter do you recommend ?The internal filter that we have isn't keeping the water clean. Water is filled 1/3 of the tank with no live fish. We do hv that exact same auto feeder that you have.

Thanks for sharing 👍, do you teach people how to setup outdoor DIY turtle pond or tub ? I'm got a big tub with those red eared slider turtle inside my house indoor, everyday in the morning i will move out my turtles to outdoor turtle tub just for them to bask under nature sunlight but those turtle are always so panic 😢 and even wants to climbing up and escape from the tub it looks doesn't bask under sunlight naturally and some turtle just always hiding bottom under water doesn't want to climb up for basking 😢, my indoor tub got uvb and uva bulb, without water heater but everyday open 6 hours plus 2 hours natural sunlight at 9am to 11am i will bring them all back to their indoor enclosure is that enough ? Hoping to see you demonstrate DIY turtle tub outdoor and good suggestions...

Thanks for the info i would like to buy a turtle because all my fish are dying 😢😢

Your basking platform is upside down 😂
For small turtles is dangerous because they can get stuck under the water behind the bar 😅
That's why the bar should face up not down
