That is amazing! I do have a feeling that water is going to get STINKY though. Sump pump/filter systems are nice, but they need a lot of maintenance... and there always seems to be a choke point...

[SD Reptiles]

There is a filter system and a lot of waterplants that keep the water clean ;-)

Your natural setups are very impressive. Well thought out and pleasing to the eye.

[Thamnophis]

That are very fine outdoor setups!

[SD Reptiles]

Thanks everyone !
Snakes happy , me happy :)

Very cool. There are fish and turtles in there? How long has the pump been running? Even in a balanced system there seems to be enough algae etc to choke a pump fairly often...

[SD Reptiles]

The pump is not always on , only in hot summermonths.
The rest of the year the aquatic plants take over.
