I use a glass lid personally but I also use a canister filter so cutting holes in the plastic back edge to fit the tubing makes it pretty tight fit and does not allow escapes. You may want to cover the gaps with tape or something like that.

I don't think my tank lid is 'air tight' but when I'm home (and paying attention) I do open the lid up and let it get air so the tank can 'breathe', I think it helps my floating plants. I lower my water level about 3 or 4 inches to also prevent escapes further. I think in a 75 gallon you should easily be able to do that without sacrificing much water volume.

I too have had escapes, I was fortunate enough to find him hiding under my lazyboy.. lol (having hard wood floors helped too I think).

I really recommend a canister filter because intake/outtake tubes don't leave many gaps in your lid, HOB filters tend to leave avenues of escape all over the place..
I tried canisters when I had turtles. Things were a pain to clean out. I'm actually going for a sump. Where everything will be cleaner and easier to clean too also increasing water volume. So I could easily keep 6-8 in there?

That sure opens up a lot of ideas. Like I could get:
- Piebalds
-Rectic
-Wild type(online store is the one that has these)
-Reg. lab bred ones.


There's this online store that sells specific feed for them. I'm hoping that will be their staple(currently on reptomin) with red wrigglers once or twice a week.

I currently feed mine every other day sometimes every two days. I saw on a site saying "feed daily" but I noticed mine got really obese doing this (when I first had one).

I also know for a fact they like aquatic plants. But can they be fake? A site said they had to be "real". I don't want a huge mess with that. Had em once all it does is get the tank messy in a day or two. Especially since these fellas like to dig and kick things.



Would it be wise to make small holes in the plastic lid and then use aquarium sealant to put on the lid a sort of plastic mesh(to prevent anything from slipping in or out).
