I am really thankful to the people who take the time to put up their projects so other people can learn.

After this my godbro's bugging me to make him a hoverbike. Well,
Putting My Engineering Background to Good Use
Since I got my 2 turtles I've been trying to find better ways, (aka cheaper), to take care of them, without scrimping on their care. It's like I'm the cheap parent figure who will take my kids out to eat, but doggie bag the leftovers for another meal. Yes, it's my upbringing. Why waste good food?
And for my turtles, why waste money? So I saw how the filters I was getting them were ineffective, (also, my bad, I didn't know about the nitrogen cycle), and upon taking them apart I realized, 'How much am I paying for this sh*t?'
So getting on the net, I am so appreciative of all the youtube video how-tos on how to build your own filter. Container, filter media, and powerhead.
Videos like these gave me ideas and inspired me:
So now I'm going to try to make a solar powered filter for the Zoomed Turtle Tub I got for them. Now they can be out in the bright, natural sunshine, and I can save electricity costs and not have to get the UVA and UVB bulbs for them. And as they get used to the natural environment with natural heating, I don't have to worry about heating their tank either. Yes, I'm a cheapskate, I know it. But I am learning a ton from taking care of them.
