I can help out with Amazon links to the exact items I use once I get back to a computer.

That would be great! Thank you! I did find the fluval 406 on Amazon. I added it to my cart. Still need everything else though.

A lot of these items tend to fluctuate in price over time, so if you put them in your cart at Amazon you can keep an eye and buy them when they're at a low price. You can use www.camelcamelcamel.com to view pricing history too, to help decide when a good time to purchase is.

Some links:

* Zoo Med Dock - I try to get one that covers about 1/4 of the tank surface area to provide a lot of basking room

* Aqueon Pro Heater (150 watt should be good for between 40 and 55 gallons I think)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003C5TMU4/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

Add one of these to hang in the lamp stand and house the MVB:

Pretty low price now:

I like these MVBs for my aquatic turtles:

Expensive, no way around it.

I've also used Zoomed PowerSun and Exoterra MVB bulbs in the past, but I typically order the Megarays.


Around the holidays Petco usually does a Dollar Per Gallon sale where you can get a 40 gallon aquarium for $40. Not sure if you already have the aquarium.

I'm not necessarily endorsing these products, but if I were suprised with a new turtle that I needed to set up, this is what I would be putting in my cart. You already found the Fluval 406 - it's pretty cheap right now:

I suppose I should have posted all this in your other thread: https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/i-can-finally-get-an-aquatic-turtle.169326/

sorry @Chloebark!
