ok im posting here for some advise on a turtle tank for my mother. 3yrs ago i came across 2 baby painted turtles from our local lake. my mom loves animal and fell in love with these guys. They live in a 20 long right now with a small canister filter.For christmas id like to set her up with a bigger much better looking habitat.i can get a 55 gal tank from my buddy as soon as he sells his loinfish and grouper. hopefully the stand too. my main questions are...
i want to make a nice looking slope in the tank so theres land too and have some small plants from the lake too-but i dont want her to have a major chore of clean up. what can i use to make a soild landcape?
and does anyone know of some good water filters suited for this?
any advise would be greatly appreciated
