Go the upper right hand corner and search with the following key words "filter" "filtration" "clean water" "tank maintenance" you should get alot of info that way. I do a minor water change once a week and a total strip down of the tank every 2 weeks (it has become a routine and fairly easy w/ the right tools) Check out the pic water goes out in the green hose and water goes in using the orang hose (the dirty water goes out to the front yard)...I have a full grown male slider named Maggie (that's right he has a girl's name)

:
:Is anyone having trouble keeping the water clean?
:Oh and how big do they have to be to catch the crickets? I'd rather do that than bloodworms (UGH!)

:It's so funny, when my husband walks over to the tank, she ducks down and swims away. When I walk up and talk to her, she swims right to me! Is this strange?

:What have you named yours? My baby's name is Tilly
