 |
|
| hey i have a 50 gallon tank for my turtle binker and it seems like she just keeps on growing and growing. I currently have a floating dock for her put out by zoo-med in the medium size but she's definitely submerging that now everytime she gets on it to go under her lights on that side of her tank. Any other suggestions for floating rocks or any ideas where i can find the floating docks in the larger size because the stores around here dont carry them. Thanks! |

Styrofoam. If you want to get fancy, you can shape it like a rock or something and coat it in epoxy or waterproof paint, rustoleum brand i think it was.
or you can silicone glue a sheet of plexiglass or glass to one of the corners and top it off with rocks or something. it won't move, and if done correctly will look nice. it'll match your tank instead of some fake looking dock or platform. though.. i use the docks  don't want to silicone my tank for personal reasons.
note: silicon comes right off with a razor blade and some acetone rubbing in case you decide or need to remove silicone. |

I used cork bark until my turtle got to about 6" then i had to construct an above basking platform out of a plastic container box and a perspex ramp!

i got the biggest turtle dock that they sell from www.seapets.co.uk. however i only use this site because they are based in the uk, like me, and it is cheap to delever to me. If you live in the states then i would use petco or petsmart. Hope to be of help to you.
