Probably the last batch until a new basking area and filter, and some new decor is added.

I think the tank is too small for 2 turtles

I'm getting an ATBA to max out space until I get my new tank sometime next year (which will either be 75 or 90 gallons). I am in college but I have a job, so buying a 90 gallon fish tank isn't something I can do after one paycheck. While a 40 gallon tank may be too small, everything else in the setup is correct and unless someone sends me a bigger one, it's going to take some time to save for a new one.

awww they are so cute. i love the long nails

Thanks....believe it or not, he uses them as a fork whenever I put fish in the tank. I don't usually put them in there that often but I believe I have a video from last time. If I do I'll upload it.

Remember there's always cheaper options besides aquariums.

I like that you're maximizing the space you have though. Just be careful that your turtles can't escape.

Yeah, those pictures are a week or two old...water is down for now until I get an ATBA to prevent escape (I believe you were the one who made the suggestion). I have a box that I want to use for the ATBA, but I need help, so I'll end up making a thread in the habitat indoor section.

Aquariums aren't the only option, but given that I'm going to go for 90 gallons, the only way to achieve that is a stock tank or pond, and I want something inside and clear, and I'm not sure I can get a rubbermaid that big. Since I'm getting the XP4 for the 40 gallon, I'll just use it on a 90, and the 90 is like 250 with a stand whilst on sale, which isn't bad at all in my opinion.

yup I agree I myself use plastic container...easier to clean
