    Default 210g FRT Tank

    Several weeks ago I bought 20 pieces of manzanita wood and decided to use 10 of the pieces for this tank. It's okay right now but I am going to switch a few pieces around to make it more round.
    My livestock at the moment is a FRT I bought around July. Named him Frankie and his shell is 6" now. His 2 friends are 2 5" Flagtail Phoenix. Soon i'm hoping to add something that will WOW me.

    Full tank shot:






    And Frankie =D





    I couldn't resist taking the last photo. I had to wait 10 minutes for him to fall asleep with me watching him.

    Those are some great photos, like the setup of manzanita resembles roots from a tree.Will you be adding a substrate or going bare bottomed? Regardless,nice start to your 210G thanks for sharing your pics!

    Love the wood and the way you positioned it, looks awesome.

    I also must add that its great you have your young turtle in a large aquarium that will help him develop into the size he should be come, so good for his shell! Not alot of people understand that those cute little turtles need A LOT of room to grow their bodies and shells properly!

    The one of him sleeping is adorable.

    Thanks for the compliments, it's so hard finding the right setup for an FRT..I've had white sand in there but it got dirty way too fast and I couldn't put a koralia power head on the bottom to circulate all the waste into the left side and my water was getting cloudy constantly.
    I took the sand out and made alot of scratches on the tank, you can see ithem in the close up photo of him.
    I'm sticking with bare bottom. I have 2 rena XP4 running and 2 koralia 1400 power head.
    50% water changes every 3 or 4 days.
    I'm also hoping this 210G tank will be his home for the next 10 or so years. I don't plan on selling him and I don't have space for any tank bigger then the current one he's in.

    Nice setup. Looks natural very clean. I like what you did with the manzanita.
