Thanks 4 the help
Is that a 30 gallon for 4 turts, or for one 4 inch turtle? If you have more than one turt, you'll definetly need something bigger than 30 gallons. The general rule is 10 gallons per inch of turtle, so a 4 inch turtle would need a minimum of a 40 gallon tank. But I know that wasn't your question
I bought a metal stand for mine..cheaper than the wooden ones with the shelves underneath. I wouldn't want to put my 50 gallon on a table for 2 reasons. 1) the table might not be strong enough to hold the weight of a full tank, and 2) if the tank is longer than the table, it will eventually crack and you'll have a HUGE mess on your hands.
When you go to buy your tank just ask if they have a stand for it. They'll make sure it fits.
