Habitat - Indoor :: 500gal. tank pics

This is a very nice filter the water stays crystal clear and I can use more media than I have ever seen with another filter. Although it was pricey, you get what you pay for.

The tank is in my maintenance test pilot office. My test pilot and I work in this office so the turtle has a lot of time by himself.

The stand is a desk we modified for the tank. It works great. The filter fits right in the back and the accessories go in and under the desk.

That a great sized tank! I think you mean 500 litres, from the dimensions you gave in the other post.
Is that a live plant in there? It looks really nice!

I love the Fluval FX5 too! I've got 2

[akaghettoraver]

no it is a fake one yeah litres, something like that, lol it is well enough room for one turtle

Nice setup. I bet your turtle loves having that huge house to himself. You should try to find some eggcate or other screen material to make a cover for your tank so you can raise the water level a little bit. We would love to see some pictures of the Mangrove Monitor when you get a chance.

Looks nice! I would have thought a 500gallon tank would be... well way bigger.

now that is an awesome tank....i'm working with a ten gallon now...but i got a great big 50 gallon for a 1 incher than i got a couple weeks back..........i think he'll stroke out when i get it ready

Yeah definitly, I will get some shots of the Mangrove when I get back to the states, that is where he is now. I have older pics of him in his old cage as a baby. And, you might be right on the gender. I was looking at thos pics thinking the same thing. The diet is reptomin and shimp and repto-treat. If you think I should change something by all means bring it up. As for the tank it is 500 liters, that was a misprint, sorry all:) Thanks for the comments. Sorry for the mess in our office, we are never in there except for paper work, always on the flightline fixing and flying the helicopters!

Cool! Looks great. If I were you I'd raise the water level as much as possible.

The water is about twice the heigth of the turtle but I will add to it as the time comes. I like to have it twice the turtles heigth, with this setup there is a large amount of swimming room and swimming restraints aren't even close. I could put it up another couple of inches tho. Thanks

Looks good but I dont like the bracing on the tank, looks like it could break easily.

[akaghettoraver]

the glass is 1/2 in.thick, the guy that built it has a bigger one with the same bracing. Since I will never fill it to the top, it will be just fine. It doesn't bow at all. Thanks for the concern tho!
