Post Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2007 5:24 pm   THE MOTHER OF ALL INDOOR SET-UPS!

Well, it will be when I get more money over the sumer. As you can see, I just set it up today. There will be an above tank basking area that will cover the whole top, and most likely go to the roof. I am saving up for two fluval FX5s. Right now I don't have any filters, but it will take forever for my two tiny turtles to "foul-up" the water(I hope). I am raising the water level 2 inchs everyday until I reach the top that way they won't get to up-set going form 15 inchs, to 31!! Then I will rig-up a above tank basking spot until I can build the real one.

Here is there old 29 gallon set-up...

And, here is the new 240 gallon set-up(it is a working progress)...

Here is the basking ramp(that I got from the old above tank basking spot)...

This is right under the basking ramp...

WOW! Mike's mom just bought a 120 and it looks like a small pond to me, so that's amazing! I love that you've got a dock and a turtle log, and the greek palace that I decided would take up too much space in my tank, and yet your turts still have more than enough room! They must be having so much fun!

Thanks for the comments. Just so you know, there is a turtle in every pic, except the one with the root, he swam behind the root right before I took the pic.

You should build a nice above tank basking area on that one and fill the water all the way up. They would feel like they are swimming in a lake.

Lol, that is the plan, as I stated in my first post, "There will be an above tank basking area that will cover the whole top, and most likely go to the roof." :D

I just need to save up some money. :)
