I recently got a new 120L (30g) tank 2nd hand together with a 75 watt heater. Our eastern painted turtle hatchling is still barely 1 inch long and this will be his home until he moves into our 55g. The tank was just plain glass and didn't come with any other accessories but I think I managed to make it into a nice baby tank for him :)

Here are some pics... you can't see Stelo in them because he's busy hiding in the plants. At the moment he's just a tiny bit smaller than the suction cups on his basking dock :P

You do beautiful tank designs Breigh.

I don't think I've seen a tank like that one before with no rims. It has a nice clean appearance. Is it acrylic? I wonder if it's as structurally sound as one with rims.

It's a glass tank, I HOPE it's as structurally sound as other tanks because it's full haha I'll have a heart attack if it bursts someday.

I bought it 2nd hand from someone from the Dutch turtle forums. He had his 2 RES in it until they outgrew it so it seemed to hold up a long time for him.

I really like the look of it without the black strips. Maybe it's because it's not a really huge tank? It's only 30g or so..

Thats a great looking tank. I have a 8 gallon seamless tank, but I haven't seen a 30 gallon glass tank like that before. There are some large acrylic tanks that look pretty nice as well.
