Overhaul is a tad strong, but I made some changes over the last couple days. The original pics (and story) can be seen here.
I finally named them, Turtle #1 is now Icarus, and Turtle #2 is Helios.
Not too much to see here, but you can see I added a CHE in the middle to get temps up.
Added a water heater.
More hides, plants, visual barriers, etc.
Look carefully and you can see a little turtle peeking out between the plant and the hide.
This is the filter I am using. It is by TetraFauna. As you can see the intake grate is very large, and I was getting a LOT of big debris in the filter. In the bottom pic you can see I covered it with a piece of much finer filter cover that my roommate had. Much better.
I have several gallon water jugs that I re-use for all my pet needs. I took one and poked about 8 holes in the cap with a heated finishing nail. I can now really bring the rain down onto my guys.
