Stop showing me awesome things i dont have time/money/room for! :rofl:

These guys are awesome! I love turtles but was always kinda turned off by them bc of the size of the tank you'd need for them. Its awesome that these guys stay so small. You've got like a whole mini ecosystem going in that tank. Be sure to keep us updated, these guys are so cool!

The tank is amazing. It's like a big TV that is showing underwater scenes. I sit and watch it all the time. There's always something going on in there. It is one of those projects that makes you smile and appreciate it when you walk by. I'll be sure to keep taking video. I'll probably do a feeding video next. It's hilarious to watch them paddle around the fight the fish for their pellets.

They are pro at swimming now. They fly around effortlessly. They will hook their claws on the driftwood and hang off Matrix style. They also will hang on the rock wall background. It's awesome to watch.

I wanted everything to remain very natural looking so I firmly wedged a gorgeous piece of natural corkbark between the wall and glass. The water makes it swell slightly and hold fast. This also allows me to change the setup fairly easily if I choose to. I have another couple pieces of corkbark that I bought so I can switch it out as I please to keep the tank fresh.

What camera do you have? When you zoom in the picture is still really clear.

I have a 1080p JVC Everio with a true 40x optical lens. It's a pretty nice little camcorder. I bought it with my Google proceeds to upgrade the Flip Cam I had used for years :)

Outstanding! We are not worthy :bow: :bow: :bow:
Now, as a finishing touch, can you set up a live turtle cam so we can all watch your turtles while we're at work? So much better than working!

That is a spectacular set up man! Very impressive! :gj:
