I actually read the thermometers wrong, it was at 70 heh so I went ahead and tossed Niko in. Heres the two pics I were able to snap. I started by putting him/her in the topper then he/she eventually went in the watter and now Niko just seems to be havin fun tryin to figure out [!!!] just happened to him/her lol.

Also, for $55 shipped the Turtle Topper is by far the best thing to use on any 55g or smaller tank. I figure with Nikos new 20g temp tank that I just finished setting up I should be safe for another yr, meaning that I should be ok for another yr before having to worry about buying Nikos permanent acrylic

tank which is going to cost me I think last quote $800 shipped.

Also, ty for the compliment caphits... it's a HUGE improvement from Nikos old 10g temp tank which at best had only 7-8g of water in it and this new 20g temp tank is pretty much all but filled to the top ;-p

Here's another pic of the egg crate lid I had to make because of the increased water level.

Looks good! Is that first pic of th inside of the topper? I was curious what it looked like inside! That looks like a really good product

I L-L-Love Eggcrate for turtle tank lids! If your turtle can push the eggcrate up at all while swimming (plotting an escape) dont be afraid to throw a book or something on top of it.

TRhe way I have it wedged in there Niko wsould have to be a "Ninja Turtle" to get it off lol but he/she seems to be really enjoying the extra swimming space. I'll get a comparison pic up later of old n new temp tanks.

Someone on here once mentioned that her gravid female, I think she was seven inches, was strong enough to lift a fifteen pound book with her head alone. This turtle was the ultimate escape artist, she'd climb the filter and everything.

So far so good, Niko seems to really be enjoying the extra swimming space.
