Is this an appropriate tank for a baby red eared slider?

I got my turtle around 3 weeks ago. I know that I need to increase the tank size as he gets older. As the weather increases i have an outside habitat that he can spend some days in supervised. ( he is too small to be left alone because of predators )

Any things that I need or anything that i am using that may be harming the turtle please inform me! Thank you!

P.S I am using white paper so that he does not see the rest of my desk and get scared. Where he basks i have pictures of grass so he feels secure.

Looks like you put in a lot of work -nice, the paper is a good idea if he's skittish, over time most sliders acclimate to people quite well, The one in my son's room - 6 yrs old now - actually seems to 'watch' the computer screen - lol.

The water may 'seem' right because the little turtle is so very, well little - but in reality he needs as much swim space as he can get - at the very very least the water should be at least two times the width of the turtle in depth to allow him to right himself if he flips over. The gravel you can likely get away with for now, as he gets larger you'll need to monitor his eating of it and lookout for imapaction. Filtration should be stronger/better - even if you cannot afford to go larger he really needs more effective filtration - internal filters just don't do a good enough job with turtles.

What is the best recording software for PC?

Oleg

I have tried multiple recording softwares and none seems suit me.

I want to start a YouTube channel, but they stop me in that.

- Bandicam, problem is (for me at least) bad sound quality.
- Fraps, huge file size.
- Dxtory, crashes my game when I attempt to record.
- BB FlashBack, it has lag, can't even handle the game.

So I'm looking for a good recording software to use for games like CoD, Minecraft, World of Wacraft and such. It would be good if it provided lower file size (as Bandicam), free if possible, good quality sound/video quality + provides me good FPS.

Thanks.

Answer
There are a number of good "Screen Capture" recording software.. the problem is, most games lag or show hesitations on 'screen capture' software.. especially if the game of high quality like "call of Duty"..

You can remedy these by having a really powerful computer:
pump up the ram to max, the graphic card to max and anything that makes a gaming computer better to max..

while keeping the quality of picture lower, like setting the game graphics to lowest settings, and the quality of recording to lowest settings with standard definition SD instead of high definition HD..

All of which will produce a poor quality video..

To improve the recording quality, you may consider lightweight, simple or less sophisticated Screen Capturing software that require less system resources (less memory, less processor power, etc..) like FastStone screen capture video recoder http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm and CamStudio screen capture video recorder http://camstudio.org/ which are baby software in comparison with high-end expensive tools that may and may not work as you hope, like: Camtasia (the best software for screen capture video recorder) at http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html , Adobe Premier http://www.adobe.com/PremiereProâ and Corel VideoStudio at http://apps.corel.com/lp/emea/webinar/index.htmlâ ..

The problem is always that there is not enough resources for both high quality games and screen capture video recording especially if your computer is not up to the challenge..
and you may have to sacrifice the quality if you wish to use software to record the game..

The answer is going hardware.. what most gamers on YouTube do is set up a camera behind them while playing in front of the monitor or the TV screen..

YEAACH, I know.. but to produce HD quality picture, consider Hardware screen capturing devices.. and you'd need three things:
1⢠upgrading your Graphic card to the ones that support HDMI first (but read a bit about HDCP in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdcp )..
2⢠buy a good Screen Capturing device.. my experience is with Hauppauge HD PVR http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr2plus-gaming.html
3⢠devices like Hauppauge require a second computer or a laptop to perform the actual recording, but it doesn't have to be a high end computer.. my old laptop 5 years old with no 3D graphic card can do just that.. (just borrow your friends' laptop for a while, I hope its not a big deal)..

See the picture below, and instead of the Xbox being connected to the Hauppauge device, imagine your gaming computer is connected through that plug instead.. and the laptop is the second computer that runs the Hauppauge device..
Oh and by the way the TV is just optional.. you don't have to have the HD TV connected..

4⢠if you encounter an HDCP problem (that's why I ask you to read a bit about them)..
99% of the time, HDCP is not an issue while recording a game from a PC HDMI output but there is this 1% of the time that HDCP is an issue..
Most professionals remedy that by buying HDMI splitters that has the ability to override the HDCP protocol and cancel them.. or use additional professional tools like HDfury 2 or HD fury 3.. http://HDfury.com

And that's how professionals do it..
All the best.. and good luck
