also how many liters is in a tank 91Lx38wx45h. need to know as i am buy a filter.

thanks

length x width x water level height all in centimetres divided by 1000 will give you the total in litres.

So,

91cm x 38cm x 40cm (allowing 4cm space from water level to the top of the tank) divided by 1000 is 138.32 litres.

so do you think the 3 footer will be ok?

For the time being, but start putting your pennies away for a bigger one or start digging your pit. Or, don't get the turtles.

3 footer will last them about a year or so id say. If you are feeding them healthily and not power growing/feeding them then maybe even 2 years. But im just going by my experience with them and im not turtle guru. Expansa1 might be worthy of a pm mate.

4 hatchys will ok in 3ft for 12 months then its too squishy, although not knowing sexes, you may encounter territory problems earlier. p.s definately ask craig /expansa1 ALL your turt questions, hes our guru!!
