Hey guys check out what I got for peanut! It came with everything. Two filters a UVA light a UVB light a homemade Basking platform, food Tank, stand and water cleaners/conditoners. The guy said it was a 150 gallons but my neighbor that helped my husband carry it into the house said no its an 80 gallon so im done! Im picking up some fake plants and decor and a better filter(canister) on friday so im happy! once I clear out a spot in the garage and get it all set up Ill post pics with baby peanut in it. I found this on cragislist , this guys was selling all of it for $100 so i talked him into a trade. And he was all up for it. I traded a 5 person tent and a mini fridge for it.

Definitely what Peanut needs. You'll see how happy he is climbing and hiding in the fake plants. hehe

yea and i love that sinking ship for him to hide in and swim through but will have to take it out when hes/shes bigger peanut will get stuck. I found a cool way to get those plants to stay in the tank. Take some aquarium glue and glue some suction cups on them and stick them to the bottom of the tank.

I use those aquarium glass stones you can buy at the store in a little bag. They sink the plants down pretty well. :p

i had a RES that tried to eat them so ya. Hey did u see a pic of those big turtles. Or glue some rocks to the bottom of them and so if the turtle digs it up it wont float to the top

I have the same stand. That's a 4 foot stand... so your tank is either a 75 or a 90 gallon tank.

If it's 22" tall it's a 75. If it's 26" tall it's a 90. The other two dimensions are the same between the 75 and 90.

I guess when my little turts get big enough the glass stones will be something to worry about but they're so small theres no way. lol :p

Man, that is a nice deal. I thought I got lucky when I got a 55 gallon with an iron stand for $70. Peanut is going to be one happy turt. This website is great ain't it? :>
