If you want to stick to an indoor tank, then I would say go as big as your space permits. Find out where you want to keep the tank for the rest of its life (mine is a 240 gallon, and it weighs 800 lbs. EMPTY!!) because it is gonna be very hard to move if you change your mind. Then see how big of a tank you can fit in there, that won't get in he way of anything, doors, window, etc. etc., and that will still be able to fit though your doorway(I almost made this mistake. lol), then buy the one that fits your spot right.

I got my stand and tank form www.glasscages.com for $1,000.00.

i have 2 RES, i put them in a 75 gal tank. its about 4 feet long and i seperated it in the middle. they have a large area to swim that is about 10 inches deep by 2 feet by 18 inches. then on the other side is the same size but i have it filled with sand with a basking area with rocks. there is also a water fountain on that side for looks. ill be posting pictures shortly. my turtles are only 9 months old but are 3-4 inches long.

Consider a stock tank if you don't have the money for a regular one.

In a few paces, but the shipping could cost more than the tank.
