RESnTX - Glad to be of some help! I've been trying to get some pictures of him up there, but he's usually pretty quick to jump into the water once i start hanging around the tank. You'll have to put up some pictures when you have yours all set up!
Oshynlover - This was actually cheaper than any of the various commercial basking platforms i've had. The corkbark was about $10 for a large piece (more than big enough to fit in my 75 gal tank, i had to cut it down some), and i probably used $10 worth of glass. I never used corkbark for basking before, and i'm really pleased with it, as is Turtley. It's not expensive and it's pretty nice looking. You can use it without a surround like i made, you would just want to have it and the water level a bit lower.
