Habitat - Indoor :: Turtle buying help!!

[emma]

Does anyone know a place that sells turtle aquariums really cheap>? Or a place that sells turtle supplies cheap? A website would be great if you could give me one!! I am going to need like a 300 gallon tank or more for my 3 RES when they get older so i really want a nice tank that doesnt cost much. PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Buying anything that huge is going to cost you. You could do some research and see if you could possibly construct a tank. Members have done it here before.

Check the craigslist.com in your area. They always have bunches of stuff.

You'd probably have better luck getting three 100 gallon tanks than one 300 gallon one.

i agree check out craigslist.com i found alot of tanks there. and very very cheap and practically new and with a stand for a low price. i was going to buy a 120 gallon tank with a stand for only $200. thats was until someone beat me to it. and now im checking everyday. lol

Also, that is a LOT of weight. If you aren't putting that down onto concrete you run the risk of your floors collapsing. Acrylic is half the weight of glass so you might have better luck building an acrylic tank. Here is a site I found when looking for information on building a tank:

Hope that helps.

Before investing in a mammoth tank, maybe you should see how the turtles get along as they age. You may end up keeping two together and housing one separately, or having to house all three individually... so you may want to keep you tank options open.
