I had a large filter on part of an old computer desk the other day I was thinking of a way to make my limited space more efficient. So I did away with the partial desk and moved it top over the frame of the 300 gallon stock tank which houses a few turtles that the large filter is used for. I now have a nice half wall that comfortably fits all my racks and the room looks alittle more roomy now. The sad part is that was only the easier half of my rearranging but the rest is left for another day. Anyways here my racks, I think I may pick up a AP racks or boaphiles racks soon.

That's alot of turtles!!! Geez!

I've always love them, I want another one someday.

I use to catch the snapping turtles like everyday during summertime when I was little but you hardly see them anymore around here.

Xavier, do you have a spray bar inside that filter? Oh, and what kind of pump are you using? I'm just wondering because eventually my Reeve's are going to out-grow their UG and canister filters.

I like the set-up :)

No spary bar, thier is a top tray which has some slits in it the water comes in fromt he magdrive #5 pump and into the contianer the water comes in and passes thru the tray. I can take some pics the inside for you. I've also made my own filters with the same idea as this manufactured one, they are pretty simple to make. How many reeve's do you own?
Thanks

Cool. I'm a fan of the magdrives :main_thumbsup: I'm wishing I hadn't gotten rid of them when I quit keeping so many fish. My six Reeve's used to be in a 150 gallon tank upstairs, but I recently moved them to a 120 in the basement so that they're closer to the RO unit and I can finally get rid of the 150. I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those pre-formed pond liners and building it into a cabinet... kind of like a free-standing pond.

Magdrive are great I use several of them. I have a cage unit which I made from .75'' plywood with 4 x 4 frame and pond line thats something but your thinking of those pondliners that are meant to be buried in the ground right? You should post pics of the reeves :) Are they adults, any breeding?
