right now i have my two RES in 55 gallon tank,
if i build a basking ramp connecting it to a 30 gallon
tank...could i technically count their space as an 85g?

i don't really have much money to upgrade to a 120 some gallon
tank, and i figured connecting two would work for now...
i thought it'd be a really cool idea :]



any advice?

It sounds ok to me, but then I have only been a res owner for about a month and a half. I am curious as to how you plan on connecting them?
One would think that 85 gallons of water area would be enough, but from what I have heard and read you need about 100 gallons per res per 10-12 scl or size. One can only do what one can do and I like your idea.
Would love to see pics when you are done.
Good luck!

Someone on here (maybe DavidY?) did this with great success. You just have to be sure your connector is easy to access and escape proof.

i planned on just building a above tank basking area and ramps going off into one tank and a ramp going off into the other tank, so the turtles can just go into which ever tank they please.


yeah, i should actually be getting a 120 gallon tank,
but i'm only 16 and moneys kind of tight for me, i'm
looking for a job now so i can afford a real tank.



thanks for the link starchick DD
