Hi all,

I just introduced myself at Wellcome section with the picture of my basking tank and RES's. It seems it would be helpful to explain how I built my basking tank to give you an idea.
Dimensions of the aquarium: 80cmX35cmX50cm(WDH)
Supplies:
- 34X30cm 6mm glass for platform
- 2 pieces 6mm 30x5cm glass to place the platform on
- 1 pieces 6mm 20x5cm glass to place the ramp on
- 20x20cm 6mm glass for ramp
- Silicone for aquariums
- 3 pieces 30x9cm wooden parts for sides to attach lightning
- A piece of grass carpet

I glued the 30x5 cm glass sides to the sides of the aquarium with silicone from inside then I placed the platform on these glasses and I attached 20x5 cm side glass with 30 degrees to the right side glass then attached the ramp on it(i was not sure whether it would work or not hopefully it worked Laughing ). After all, I placed the wooden parts on the aquarium (these wooden sides should have channels at the bottom so that you can place it on the aquarium easily) At the end I glued pieces of grass carpet on the glass however I would not reccomend grass carpet since the my turtles try to eat the grass but can not and leave the pieces in water Laughing

That 's all...

I am planning a larger one at the moment. I hope I can share it with you too.

Thanks for reading till here Razz

That is very neat! It looks like it's hollow under the platform, so they can hide under there!
