New tank for terrapins
After the tank from our neighbour cracked on 14 June just before our trip to PJ, Ipoh and Tambun, we checked the online second hand postings and found this guy in Katong selling a large tank with lights for only $50! We confirmed it immediately and took the tank home on Monday night. It is certainly much larger:
The light set consists of 2 sets of 2 fluorescent lights and 4 blue LEDs. We added our IKEA spot light and will figure out a way to mount the UV lights later on.
The terrapins now have a much larger tank to swim about, and should be able to house them for another year before they out-grow the tank.
The tank is so large that we need to add some supportive planks between the tank and the shelf. Again, we will trim these planks down later on.
WOW! This is a very large tank. I think you and Hoi Hoong should start a support group called Expensive pets anonymous.
But my huge second hand tank and lights costs only $50…
My pets runs on very low budget, and the only thing I bought that is rather too expensive for the terrapins is a glow-in-the-dark lampshade which we are not using now.
