No, the water would freeze solid. I just throw mine in a large container of water with a small filter and place them in the garage which stays about 35 during the winter.

Also hyacinths usually dont fair to well inside. They love the sun and multiply quickly. I have to throw garbage bags full away of them.

Awwww my turtles aren't getting a pond home til after I graduate from basic and 'A' so I'm doing some research now. Any other really good plants I can use that works best indoors? Except of course for Anacharis, that is my turtles fav!

are WLT's great for a nesting area?

Very, the nesting area is the main feature on it. The nesting area is 30x20 and 12 inches deep. So thats like about the size of a 30gallon tank. Thats a pretty good sized nesting area.

Yep should be fine. Your winters should be very mild.
