Expansion
I've just about completed my expansion in the garage. I've added 6 x 40L and the new turtle tank @300 gallons. I've still got to pick up the 6th tank, and then decide what I'm going to do for air, lights, water and filtration. This is one project that I'm trying to use all the "stuff" I have around the house to try to de-clutter downstairs. I think I still have a lot to do to get that done. Denny
If it was easy, anyone could do it!

Re: Expansion
Don't you just love mag-drive pumps? I added more than twice the water to the system out in the garage, and it's still pumping water to everything. All 6 40's are now on line as is the 300 gallon stock tank. I can add all the turtles to the stock tank as soon as I decide how I'm going to give them access to the dry area and basking light. I guess I need to figure what I'm going to use for sides on the dry area, too. Denny

Re: Expansion
Something I have used for the basking area in a large tub before is a milk crate. It is sturdy and has many areas that allow for objects to be attached to with zipties. This allows for the basking area to still be pleasing to the eye if it is going to be seen by the public.

Re: Expansion
I've got the basking area already, but it's about 4-6 inches above the water level. I've got to figure out how to give them a way up. I'll take a picture once I decide what I'm going to do. Denny
