Those turtles are so adorable! They're like twins aren't they.

How are you going to move that big tank? The turtles will think they're in heaven, by the way.

Wow that looks like a turtles dream!! Did you get the class precut? I am also looking into building a tank rather than buying since it is so expensive around here.

You should post some pics of the whole tank now that it's finished with the turtles in it! But you and your dad did an awesome job! I know that I bought my 125 gallon for almost $1,000 everything said and done. So you saved yourself some big money. I'm interested to see how you have it set up, I love to look at other people's ideas! :lol:
