Navarre Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Living Art, How do you get on for UV with all that plastic/Novoroof? Nav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 livingart thats a great setup is that treated timber then painted with polyurethane for frame work? DonnaM's - nice setup to i like the mesh idea to aid them climbing out of the water I learnt somthing new today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks Mincie, yes that plastic mesh has been used for all sorts over the years. I had a nice gentle sloped area on other side of pond...and turtles decided they prefered the narrow area by the fence :roll: .....so out came the mesh again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 thanks mincie its treated timber thats been stained navarre the sides rollup on fine days and 3 roof panels come off lights at night to attract the bugs in donna is that snow in the first pic ture?

DonnaM Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yes thats snow in the first picture. Cold!!! At that time turtles were all in my house or enclosure you can see at back of picture. I'd got too many new 'rescue' ones just before winter (12), so hadn't hibernated them. Maybe this yr I'll try hibernating and they can sleep beneath the snow :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repto Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 you got filtration in the pond or just drain and refill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 have a pump in there, but at the moment drain and refill is cheaper than the power bill trying to find a solar unit to put on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 trying to find a solar unit to put on it ditto, im tempted to try 1 of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =189461061 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =189769789 to pump through a filter but not sure if it would do much good as they only work for so long each day/night, any thoughts would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 thats what i have been eyeing up run through coiled up alkathene pipe of a day to warm pond just let it cool down or stop overnight should start again next day build a trickle filter from a plastic bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
