It is 90 gallons, the way it is designed though you cant fill it much more than a third of the way.

Wow never seen one that big built like that. Hey Brian take the smaller pebbles out of your tank. Anything small enough for your turtle to eat. Because they can and sometimes do causing blockage! It could kill your turtle. How old is it? The turtle.

Some zilla tanks have one side with the glass only half way up from the bottom on one long side. At least the one I seen as that way.

Ah now I really understand the predicament. For now the tank will suffice but Kansasslider is right. You need to be able to put more water in there.

I'm going to keep my eyes open on Craigslist and see what I can come up with. I think I may want to do a stock tank/indoor pond. I will definitely need to learn about pumps and filters before I take that on. Penny is probably going to need to make due for a little bit, these living arrangement changes aren't cheap. I need to do it right and do it once this next time, I can't afford to keep making incremental changes like I have been while learning.

We don't generally wash our tanks unless there is some type of problem.
