Marina LED Aquarium Kit

I have 5 of these. I use filter floss first compartment, then fill rest with bio rings. All my tanks are super clear

Turtles need a heat lamp, a UVB bulb to supplement sun rays. a landing dock basically a basking platform for them to get out of the water when they need to. and a common red ear slider needs at least a 40 gallon aquarium and as an adult will be the size of a dinner plate and will require at least a ...more 75 gallon.

It appears to me that the 'kit' is for fish but the tank itself would work for turtles. Just be mindful of the type of turtle. A mud or must, the smaller breeds, would be fine in this tank as long as you purchase the heat, dock and lights they require. A small red slider would be fine when young ...more but you would need to buy a larger tanks as he grows. I have my two turtles, a red slider and a mud turtle in 10 gallon tanks but they are both quite young.

I chose 20 lbs. 10 lbs sand, covered by 10 lbs of gravel. But I have a live planted aquarium, so the sand will help with rooting.

Neon Tetras, although technically considered a "nano" species, actually require a minimum of twenty gallons. Because of their unique schooling behaviors, they must be kept in a group of ten or more. Fifteen Neon Tetras can be housed in a twenty gallon without a problem, but proper water changes must...more be performed on schedule. The tank must be cycled beforehand to help stabilize water parameters and to prevent any future spikes of ammonia or nitrite. Since Neon Tetras in captivity are not as hardy as they could be due to selective breeding and inbreeding, the tank must also be established, meaning that it has been running for a minimum of two months. Otherwise, parameters could spike, creating an unsafe environment for your aquatic friends. Once the process of cycling and establishing is complete, then, and only then, can Neon Tetras be added. As for the tank features itself, the hood is suitable for low light plants and the filtration system is, personally, one of my favorite HOB filters in this hobby. With four separate sections for media, I like to take advantage of this opportunity, adding fine filter sponge in the first section, ceramic rings in the next two, then Seachem Renew in the last (avoid using activated carbon, as it removes crucial minerals from the water column, making it unsuitable for fish and plants unless additional supplements are added, which can be expensive). The sponge that surrounds the filter intake makes it safe for small fish and invertebrates, while also creating additional area for Beneficial Bacteria to colonize. Overall, I recommend this kit as a fine setup for beginners and experts alike, and I hope to read your review! Good luck ;)

Depends on the size of your frogs. Small to medium frogs would be able to get out through the filter cut out.

Yes, you can adjust the flow rate. I love these filters and have them on all 5 of my tanks. You can customize the media, do not buy the refills. I use filter floss next to intake, and fill rest with bio rings.
