I really like the ATBA. There's only two things that I would worry about:

1- the carpet can get moldy as it will constantly be exposed to water.
2- the turtle can reach the top of the tank, so I would enclose it completely. Turtles are known for the escape artist talents and losing a turtle is definitely no fun.

I just got my xp3 in the mail today! I got it on ebay for 102.50 (winning bid) and it was 20 for shipping. So 122.50 total. I paid yesterday and got it today- awesome seller. They were 189.00 at my Petsmart, so I saved $60!

I think they meant those plastic wire ties, commonly called "Zip-Ties"

Eh.. how come, it should be steady and firm tight.. how about you check others members photos of basking area sticky and see how they fixed the eggcrate.
