SweetTurtle:) : I have a 20 gallon i think. All i used was wood, staples, and screen. Ill name the length of the wood and what type later tonight. I do not have a ramp yet but ill probably use a basking dock or cork board.

Tenodera: I think it will work well. I have no ramp so i can't use it. I will try to use a basking dock or cork board as a ramp.

Well I have tested it once but the ramp I used was crap. Now I have been looking for something to use for a ramp. When I do get the the ramp I have been looking for I will put it all together and post the picture. It will probably be pretty soon. Any more questions.

you can cut tile, so i don't think the size really matters, just cut it to fit the basking platform you make.

Yes, like what kstewart55 said or just buy 5 bathroom tiles and you can space them kinda far apart.

You can get them at The Home Depot or Lowe's. It depends on what kind you get. I found this one for $0.88.
