Common Causes of Stomach Pain, # 7: You're chewing gum to keep from snacking. Believe it or not, chomping on gum is a big cause of stomach pains. You often swallow lots of air, which can create gas and bloating, explains Christine Frissora, M.D., a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.
Garden Pond. A small garden pond with a waterfall should be deep enough that the bog and aquatic plants' soil are under 3 to 6 inches of water. Generally, garden ponds are 18 to 24 inches deep. With the addition of a filter, the waterfall will clean and aerate the pond water, allowing small aquatic creatures, such as turtles, frogs and fish, to thrive amid your water garden plants.
The first thing to do is to make sure the turtle is in a large enough tank -- too small of a tank can cause waste products to be highly concentrated and perfect for algae growth.As a general rule, the tank should hold at least 10 gallons of water per inch of turtle-even larger is better.This means a full grown turtle needs a tank larger than 100 gallons. If the tank is too small, water quality will be much harder to maintain, and the health and well-being of your turtle is at risk.owever, if the tank receives any direct sunlight, moving it out of the sunlight can help a lot. Keeping the tank clean is vital to water quality and will help with the algae (see Keeping your Turtle Tank Clean for help).
