I am so frustrated! My filter burnt out.
Fill in time- after my last thread concerning the super ammonia issues, I split up my big turtles. Right now the situation is NOT ideal, and I now it, I'm trying to make things better for them! My girl YBS and RES are llving int ehi]]r respective ZOOMed Turtles Tubs I have leftover from egg time. My male is an a kiddie pool. They all have little 80gal and - filters, and they stay cleaner for about two weeks. (I haven't seem any ammonia! Which is good !) A TurlteClean filter, a Whisper filter, and a little mini Fluval. The Fluval BURNT OUT. I'm really upset! This was my best extra filter, it worked great! What I do not understand is- this was a very new filter. Year tops. I had this filter with my big guys outside in the beginning. Big job, and it worked fine. THere is nothing that could clog it. I have rocks for my girsl land compartment (was my YBSs filter) and I scoop out their extra food and debris every day! I did a thorough cleaning, and tried again. DEAD
And wait, there's more! The Whisper just quit tonight! I cleaned it out, and it started again, and it sounded so TERRIBLE. I want to chuck it so I don't kill the thing, but then I would have two turtles without filters.
It has officially become too cold for them to be outdoors, so no pond right now! What do I do??? Really bummed out, I though separation would fix this until next spring, when they'll be moving out FOR GOOD, when I'm able to throw together a thing outside for the time being until I can build something more permanent.
What do I do?? This winter is going to seem soooooooooo LONG!!
Sum it up-
