My turtle is 2 in and a quarter. I just measured. I still have her in a 10 gal, and i kno she should have at least a 20 gal. The 10 gal is getting way to small... But i cant get that 75 gal til feburary... =(... I was planning on going to pet supermarket and paying almost 300$ for this tank... is that a good deal...?

$300 for a 75-gallon tank sounds pricey to me. Does that include a stand as well? Anything else come with it?

I'm a bit lost on what tank you are talking about. A turtle tank, per se, is different than an regular fish tank. Turtle tanks have a hole in the side for the filter, we do not recommend getting that type. If you are talking about a regular tank, I agree with Marisa in that is a very high price for one. Mine didn't cost that much. I only got the tank and not all the equipment as I already had a lot of it, and I'd rather buy my own instead of the junk they give you that's rated for fish. So it that price is for just the tank, I'd pass on it and find another.

I took "turtle tank" to mean a tank for a turtle.

No my bad, its just a regular fish tank, and the stand is separate...

Way too much for just a 75 gallon tank with nothing else. Do you live near a petsmart? Theirs are less than that.

You can probably get one for less off of craigslist.com as well.
