Hello, I'm not sure what kind of build your looking for, but the stock tank setups they speak of work good. But you don't have a side veiw of your turtles swimming and doing what they do. There is also some custom built aquariums that have wood frames with glass fronts and sides. They are designed to hold alot of water and are pretty large in size. If you go to http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/ there is build treads all over the forums. These tanks are designed for some very large fish and can be utilized as a turtle tank as well. Hope this helps

looking for a design that i can build myself. i saw the playwood/glass builds on youtube. they look cool. something with a stand, and a basking area. but also looks like a piece of furniture, trim, knobs, ect....Loola

There was a nice custom built wood glass tank posted a couple days ago check it out. I mean this setup is super nice and would make any livingroom stand out!

You should just hit up www.criagslist.com and try to find a nice cheap 100 gal tank. I see 150 gal tanks on craigslist for 100$ or less alllllll the time on there. just make sure the tank ant messed up in any way but all round you usually can find so good of deals on craigslist even building your own tank can be more expensive then hitting craigslist first

I have gotten several 55 gal tanks for under 20$ on craigslist. I even traded a gopher snake i caught in my back yard for a 60 gal with a huge nice stand. turned around and sold it for 100$ next day haha
