"Hi, my name is Sarah, I’m here at Pet Land in Pembroke Pines tonight, and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I’m going to speak with you a little bit about purchasing and owning a pet turtle. Another important consideration when you are setting up the turtle’s habitat is the filtration. You cannot simply have a turtle tank and not have a filtration system. It will be far too dirty and unhealthy for your turtle. When you’re setting up a filtration system, you need to purchase a filtration system that is designed for environment three times that of your turtle’s actual environment size. For instance for this 10 gallon aquarium that we will be keeping turtles in, a 30 gallon system will be appropriate. This 30 gallon system is designed for a 30 gallon fish tank, but turtles are so dirty and tend to need better filtration, so you want to get a larger filtration system for your turtle’s tank. It is very important that you understand that you need a larger filtration system for your turtle than you would for a fish. On behalf of expertvillage.com, I would like to thank you for letting me speak to you about your pet turtle.
