Hi new to the forums. Just want to introduce my baby sliders. They got a new home today. They were in one of those crappy "turtle tanks". I moved them into a 55 gallon and now they have more room than they can handle lol.
Found the tank on craigslist. Came with a heavy iron stand, two nice big filters, two 200 watt heaters, a full hood and two half hoods.
There is also another 55 gallon underneath it.
All for $180. Doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Dang, that has to be one of the best deals I've ever heard.. :)

I know you've probably heard this already but... the rocks in the bottom... at some point you'll have to removed them because of the potential danger of your turtles eating them. Also, is there something over the basking area, I can't tell.. if not, it looks as if they can escape from there..
