Space is a sticky widget, I understand, believe me. ;) But it looks very nice and I bet they will enjoy it. :)

Looks very nice! Be careful about all that weight down in the center - not all tank stands support the entire bottom.

Does anyone know the material of the square platform to the left of that picture? That looks like a good area to give the turtles jello shots.

thanks steve!

What would be the best way to stick it to the aquarium? I thought of using silicone. Or would you cut it to fit?

He's using silicone:

Strips of glass would hold better over time than acrylic, but I think it might only be suitable for smaller tanks.
