Hi all, Anyone have any experience with the ZooMed 501 turtle filter? I'm thinking about picking up one and taking off the spray bar piece to turn it into a...
Hi Brielle, we use the 501 filters frequently on tanks up to around the 30 gal size. They work great, and have just enough flow to make for some interesting ...
I just finished my Viv with Great Stuff (pics to come soon) and it worked out great. For an amatuer, it was very easy to deal with. Also, I learned other neat...
I spoke to a herptologist the other day and she told me she had a 55 gallon tank that had a few different frogs species, a few different gecko species, and a...
... I hope they are all small animals (other than the water dragon.) It sounds like a rather large variety for that size tank. Still, if done carefully, it...
... There should be a lot of information in the archives on this as it comes up frequently. It can be done but requires a lot of knowledge about the ...
Brielle, keep us posted on how the tank is coming along. Take care, Cindy Dicken Vivarium Concepts www.vivariumconcepts.com www.texasdartfrogs.org ... From:...
In my experience its less of a hassel for you and your pets if you keep species separate. Also in my experience biologists may know alot, but they don't...
I just bought one for my future 55 gallon viv, and Im really happy with it. Im currently using it to filter a friends turtle tank (he's got no idea what he's...
I have a 150 gal mixed species viv. The only lizards that did well are the flat rock lizxards (Platysaurus) which is amazing because they are the most...
Cindy, Right now I'm just collecting stuff and keeping a list of equiqment I'll need (ie xmas wishlist), but once I get down to the nitty gritty I'm going to...
... The Most important thing to know before you attempt to do this "KNOW THE SPECIES YOU WILL ATTEMPT TO BUT TOGETHER" Even small animals will attempt to eat...
I tried water dragons in a vivarium a while back. I had really durable plants and they still tore the plants to pieces. They have very sharp claws, and use...
This is one of my favourite subjects. I'd agree with most of the others in that you ought to proceed with extreme caution. A 55 gallon tank is a truly tiny...
I wouldn't have thought that Platysaurus would be compatable with anything in such a small environment. The natural territory of a male is several dozen times...
ZooMed is one of our sponsors and their ZooMed 501 turtle filter is a great item to use. it's simple, easy and best of all it fits well into your sump area. It...
I've built zoo exhibits for a long time now. private sector clients also like to house more then one species in an enclosure. human nature i guess. it can be...
I'm with you. I'm amazed that they're doing so well. The only thing I can figure is that they're spending all their time in one corner that has the brightest...
Deven, Thanks for your input, but the reason I was attracted to this filter is because I'm not planning a sump area, and with the external pump I won't have to...
Claire asked "What is a VIV?" "Viv" = "vivarium" as in "the Naturalistic Vivavrium Group." Ed Edward I. Pollak, Ph.D. Department of Psychology, West Chester...
Dr. Pollak, How is your Viv set up so that you can "reach under" the false bottom and remove and replace the sponge filter? I'm trying to set something up in a...
You can see the details at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/epollak/Viv2005/viv_construction.htm. I'm not sure how you can do it without the standing water. My...
