tank dimensions
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 8:07 pmhi all,
i am new to this forum and new to turtles.
I recently aquired 3 baby RES that are currently in a 10 gal. tank with all lighting and warmth sorted out. We quickly realized what we have gotten ourselves into and now, being dedicated to the cutest things ever, want to invest in a 80 - 100 gallon tank so they can grow in that for a while. I have been looking on craigslist, ebay, etc. and have found some affordable options now, but I am concerned about the dimensions of the potential tank. Most tanks seem to be made for fish and appear to be pretty tall. I want to have plenty of water depth for these kids to swim in, but my concern is accessability (if the wall is too tall, how will I reach them, and will there be enough depth and width for turtles). What kind of tank and dimensions should I be looking for?
if anyone has a tank in the So Cal area that would fit our needs, please let me know.
thanks! I am so glad I found this forum, whew. Very Happy
