Habitat - Indoor :: About to buy my 55 gallon tank and I have some questions ^_^

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Post Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 5:39 am   About to buy my 55 gallon tank and I have some questions ^_^

I've been waiting for 8 months now and I finally get to go and buy a new 55 gallon bow front tank but I was wondering. When my turtles grow bigger can they actually crack or break the glass?

Cleaning up a tank spill would be a nightmare. Anyone every come across this problem?

I have never heard of this problem before. Just make sure the ramp to the basking spot is not pointed right at the side of the tank. Because when they get scared, they will jump in the water REALLY FAST, and run right into the side of the tank, at full speed!

I haven't heard of a turtle breaking a tank.. I guess it is possible but tanks are super tough.
