Looks good but I have a question. You aren't relying on the sunlight coming through that window for a basking light are you?
Also, you said you are upgrading for the last time. How big is that tank? I think I saw 3 turtles in there and the tank doesn't even look big enough for the one big one.
I don't mean to be rude but I think this won't be your last upgrade, at least I hope not.

nice basking area, how do you have that material connected???
they look to be really enjoying the new basking setup, hopefully the continue on up the ramp
id say the basking area could be the last time you upgrade it but i think i have to agree with breigh about future tank upgrades...

Neat design for a basking area. How do you attach it to the tank top/stand?

eyeball measurement looks like that is a 10, maybe but no more than 20 gallon tank, you'll definitely need to upgrade that, probably very soon. i only had my 20 gallon setup for like a month when i had to upgrade it to keep my little ones from killing each other. the basking area is really cool, though.

What I meant is this is gonna be the last upgrade for this tank then I Will get them another tank. And Yes I do rely on the sunlight coming from the window which is perfect for them, isn't it??

I didn't connect them but Bent them. Did you see the lighters on the table?
It's really tricky to do that though.

It just sits on the top of the tank and the stand. The weight of the baskin' board makes it pretty steady.

They're called light diffusers. memo911, your turtles won't get UVB through a window.

That's why I open the window in the morning. It's hard to tell from the pics. I think sunlight is better than uva and uvb lights.
