Well I wanted a different set up for my two little guys. The 125 I had was almost too big to keep up wiht just the 2 little guys in there and will be there home when they get bigger. So I was browsing a local pet store saw one I wanted. They were selling for 155 and I made one just like it for 80 =p.

Sorry picks aren't soo good. But those my two babies begging

here is whole set-up

Not totally finished need to get some more play stuff for them an way to do that today.

u could go deeper and watch them dive up and down and that size it will feel like they have more room to swim in.

Have heard about turtles drowning and all is why I am worried.

Also can driftwood from the ocean be used or would too much salt leech out.?

I don't know about the driftwood, but I think your turts will be fine with more water as long as they can easily access areas to get out of the water. Wink

raise the water gradually. they are good swimmers and learn quickly so don't worry as long as they have something accessible to rest on (plants and/ or basking area)
