What attractive girls you have!
They both look pleased with their new tanks.

My biggest concern would be the small gravel in your tanks, turtles have a nasty habit of eating it and becoming impacted... which can be fatal. So I'd remove that as soon as possible.
Having no gravel will also make the filters' jobs easier as there won't be any trapped debris to murk up the water.

Also, I can't tell in the picture but do you have a heater and UVB lights for the tanks? The UVB light isn't an immediate concern but if you don't have a heater you'll want to buy one ASAP.

That's such a cool idea to have them one on top of the other! They look a good size too! I haven't seen the stackable tank stand in bigger than 30gal.

watch the gravel

The tanks look great and your two girls do too!

I agree about the gravel, though. It's a big health hazard for turtles. If you want something on the bottom to add interest, you can put a few large river rocks down. Turtles like to push the river rocks around and you'll find it much easier to keep the tank clean too without all the gravel.

thanks you guys I'll get rid of the gravel and I don't have heaters till next month so I add hot water till its at the right tep every morning and I have UVA lights until I get the heaters

Where did you get that stand?

[ashleygamergirl]

you can get large river rock from the dollar tree

[KeithBT]

I got the stand from a friend that also sold me the tanks for 250$ for both the tanks and the stand

[hdaisog]

Lucky you. That is quite the deal!!!! I would love a stand like that.
