So I found out from a friend today that I will be getting a pair of yellow belly sliders MUCH sooner than expected... I'm scrambling to get my only decent size tank together. 72 bowfront. I'll be converting it to saltwater after turtles leave it for the 3000g I'm building. I know you guys like build threads and this will be a quick one so I figured I'd put it on here. I'll be running a sump on this tank and using an above tank basking platform for it.

Bow fronts looks great, how big are the turtles?

The 2 I'm getting are about 7" male and 9" female. This is just a temporary tank. Will only be a few months that they will be in here. They have been living together for about 4 years. They currently reside in a unfiltered 40g octagon tank. Poor turtles need room.

Just a heads up but sometimes aggression starts up after moving to a larger tank. I don't have a real explanation for that behavior either.

These will be in my living room and I will keep a close eye on them. Thanks for that.
