How do you guys have your tank setup? I currently have 2 fluvals, a heater, and the water 3/4 deep on the 75 gallon. I have two turtle docks as well (used to have on, but turtles are seperated for the moment, see neck biting post). Thinking about doing the part land, part water setup, but is it harder to keep clean?

nope it looks great for me. but am not sure about the sand, it's not the best thing to use for substrate. don't they eat it??doesn't it get stuck in the filter?

The filters are fine unless teh RES knocks down the filter. She will spend 10 minutes raising her shell underneath just to knock it down.

Sandy got his/her name from eating sand as a baby. Not anymore. It's good for the digestive system? Just kidding, kind of.
