looks great! may i ask how did you make the basking area?

[turtledlucas]

i got a glass sheet at home depot then i put those foam pieces and put sillicone so it wasnt sharp for mondo. i glued those pvc pipes on but they are unnecesary now because they weren't glued well. to stay there i put those foam things so its tight and the pipes are for extra support. im goin to make it better later. i have pics at the basking thread. i also just collected rocks and glued some on and just put some on

I dont want to sart a whole new thread but I moved my red heating light way about a foot higher from where it was in that pic because it kept blowing up because water splashing on it so i was wondering if it matters if it is about two feet above it. Its a 75 watt reptiglow.

oh ic. may i ask where did you get those foam pieces? honestly they look harder than foam . i saw pics in the basking thread, but some are hard to distinguish.

The water quality seems a little murky...
With my tanks i noticed that hang-on filters don't really cut it.Have you considered using a canister filter?
As per the bulb...buy a water proof one at Petco.
