 I am getting a new tank...

hey guys i am gonna get a new tank for my turtle. Somewhere around 120-135gallons. I just wanted to know what kind of decor can I put in it to make it look awesome. I was wondering wat kind of things I should have in the tank to make the turtle like it. As far as filtration goes, i am going to get an undergravel filter, and then an out of tank filte so i ave plenty of room. Pictures would be aweome. I am going to have a lot of gravel on the bottom of the tank, so ya. I will also have a gravel vacum. pics are wanted!!!

Get the large Zoo Med Turtle Dock so you’ll have the biggest one possible unless they are already to big for the large one.

Well, I don’t think he is going to fit on the turtle Docks anymore :(. So I need some ideas of what I can use. I am going ot get, and undergound filter, out of tank filter, and the tank so far. I want to do some cool decorations and somewhat of a home area for him you now? I am gonna put some plants, and something for him to hide in or behind. I am not sure what kind of substrate i will use. Any ideas? I am going to start designing his tank today. Ill draw it out and what no. Also is their any preparations i need to do for the tank? I am moving my turtle from a 20 gal to a 135 gal. Can i just move him? How can I clean the tank out really good? Thanks,

When I bought my 10 gallon tank, when I got my first turtle he was in a small storage container before I knew that much about turtles, I just washed it outside with the waterhose and then filled it up, set it up, and stuck my turtle in it.

Here’s pics of my turtle habitat




This is my favorite pic of Flash!
It looks like he’s a shark getting ready to attack!Start the Jaws theme!
