Are the basking and UV lights over a basking area?

Will be interested to see if you can get the hang on filter to work with the water at that level

Nice musks

Nice musks
The lights arent directly over a basking area no as I havn't yet sorted the basking area or the lights setup.

As for the filter, yeah it's gonna be a challenge lol.

Gonna try modding it with suction cups and attach it to the deep end of the tank just above the water, then add some rocks around it to make a waterfall
