If money is an issue, which it always is, you might think about getting a big plastic container at walmart or similar. A 75 gallon one will run you about $20.

Absolutely, get a plastic storage container! Fill it approximately half-way. Tanks should be longer and wider than taller... a tank in that configuration is not suited for turtles.

Here is Shorty's tank. It's a 125gal and she loves it! I am planning on building a wood and plexiglass enclosure for her basking\egg laying area after the holidays. Hubbie doesn't like the way it looks but hey it works great!

The person i bought the tank from, said its a 135 gallon, i haven't measured it, and converted to gallons, so im going with 135 gallons, the basking area is a 10 gallon tank with one side removed laid on its side.
