Ive just found a deal on a 110 gallon tank for 160 on craigslist the tank looks tall I was wonderring if anyone uses a tall tank I have a 20 gal turtle tank from rep zilla or something I got them as babys an now they r about a year an they need a larger tank an wanted to skip an go for a big one

I'd personally skip tall tanks. While a tall one can be fine for smaller turtles (maybe you can use it temporarily then flip it), you'll eventually want a wide or standard tank. It'll be much easier to fish out waste and if necessary - reach in there.

Thanks I decided on goin for a 75 or 90 long tank for time being until they grow in size do u think thats a good idea

[steve]

Sounds great. How many turtles do you have? How big are they now?

Wow, pretty aggressive for small guys. Absolutely separate, dry dock and apply some neosporin to that area.
