Thanks for the advice josephkr!
I do have an update...
since my tax refund, I purchased a 90 gallon filter by Marineland, Biscuit has a waterfall! I haven't put sand in, still working on the idea.... Our 65 gal tank is pretty full of water now, I will try to post some pics.
Got rid of the fluorescent tube, just have basking and uvb bulbs now, that took some getting used to.
Purchased a 10 gallon tank, keeping feeder fish in it along with 3 pleckos. Saves me time going to the store, plus I can ration the fish a little bit better and I know what the fish have been eating this way, have 12 at a time in this new tank.
have not bought a water heater, though I probably should just to have one, sine Petsmart is clearancing them for half off. Next payday....
Have river rock at the bottom of his tank, bought him a Turtle Bone, but he doesn't like it. Also, bought him some Anacris (sp) the water plants, he ate it overnight, so I guess I will have to buy more.
Think that's it! Oh, one last thing, got rid of the screen on my tank, cat fell in within the hour, lol... she didn't drown thankfully, but she didn't have her stubborn streak cured either. She keeps trying to get up on top, I don't think she knows that the screen is gone for good...
