Hey all,

Well i think i am going to buy one of the hard plastic pond liners and palce it outside so I can use it from my spotted turtles...you know sank in the ground. Anyhow have some questions.

How tall to the walls enclosing the pond need to be? How far under the ground?

How big of a pond for 5-6 spotted turtles?

I live in Michigan but not worried about hibernating them outside I will be hibernating them inside like i have been.

What type of filtration do i need?

What types of plants inside the pond and on the ground outside of the pond..in the pen?

Thanks,
Scott
