need a well priced filter

[ukgeckos]

I have a 88 litre tank that im going to be keeping 4 european pond turtles in till next summer when they will be going into an indoor pond.


Im after a filter that will work in both the tank and pond.
Im unsure about how many litres the pond holds but its not huge, looks something like this Indoor pond image by sdk1406 on Photobucket


Does anyone know of any that will be suitable.
Thanks

Sounds like a very small tank for four turts?

I would try to roughly calculate the volume of the pond so you can work out what size filter you'll need.

They are born in oct 09.
I think the litres are corretc, its 3ft by 1ft by 15 inch.

I thought this may be too big for 4 baby turtles?
if it is too small then ill set the pond up for them just thought it may be too big at the moment

Probably OK for now then if they're really tiny, whether it'll last until next summer though...? I guess you'll just have to see how fast they grow.

Where did you get them BTW, are they UK bred?

Im picking them up in Hamm,
Bred in Germany.
Bargain price too!

It is only till I set the pond up in spring (Fed half term probs) Once big enough to go outside they will be in a large outdoor pond all the time.


Id say the pond was 4ft by 3ft by 1.5-2ft deep so would need a filter for the pond that will work for the tank aswell
Thanks for the help Graham

That's a big difference in volume between tank and pond, what works for one is unlikely to be suitable for the other.

A bit mis-read.

the pond outside will be deep enough to hibernate (3-4ft)


The pond inside is 4/3/2ft
