I finally got the proper tank for Turbo. I got it all set up yesterday and the temp was stable all night so I put him in this morning. He went from rags to riches...from a 5-to 10 gallon turtle tub ( where he could not swim, just walk) to a new 40 gallon aquarium. He wasn't basking in his old home that I got from the the pet store. But after 15 minutes in new tank he has atleast come out of the water to the floating dock several time. That is a plus. I think I am just as happy as he is about his ne home. Thanks for everyonse help!

That looks very pretty! I love the way all the rocks look at the bottom, but they are such a pain to clean!

Not sure if he loves it yet but I think he will. He has only been in the new tank for about an hour now and he is basking for the first time since I have had him. He has been basking for about 15 minutes now. I am sow happy. I don't think he likes the plants though..lol..he attacks them.
