Cute setup but I think Steve is right. I missed the heater and the filter.

The filter is a Aquaclear 50 AKA the Aquacleer 200. does 200 gph. The power head does 175 gph but i have that turned way down and pointed at the bottom of the tank for circulation.

i havent installed the heater yet. the Temp is 73* F without a heater. Its April and i live in Rhode island not gonna be cold for a months should i still get them a heater ASAP? There hatchlings

The hatchlings need the water to be 80F. Juvies and adults need the water to be 75. So yes, you should get a heater ASAP. The tank is super cute though, and so are your turts. :)

A heater is recommended, especially with hatchlings. Make sure all electrical equipment is used with a GFCI outlet.
