hello everyone. just found this site the other night looking for some info on my RES. wish i had found it a long time now. i have two RES that are 6 years old. when i got them they were just a couple of inches the length of their shell. i just measured them last night and they are now 8 inches the length of their shell. they will be moving into their 4th home here shortly. they started in a 20 gal turtle tank. nexted they moved into a 40 gal. then to a 100 gal where they have been for a few years and now they will be moving to a125 gal. now that i found this site and got some great ideas im pretty sure they will make one more move to a 180 or 210 gal. i have the tank and filter all plumbed and as soon as my acrylic guy builds my ATBA they will be moved to the new tank.

Looks like a great tank! There's a video of someone's custom acrylic turtle tank that's pretty inspirational... I'll try to find it.

new tank looks awesome. and ya my turtle absolutely loves sand, she digs and plays around with it alot. I think she likes the way it feels also since shes usually crawling around in it.

I have a 125 gallon too! but why is your water level sooo low lol

the water level in the 100gal was low for their basking rock. now that i have found this site and learned about the ATBA the 125 will be full.

my acrylic guy came over today to take some measurements and discuss how i want the basking area to look. he should have it built in a few days.
