my tank (more detail) is raised 1 inch or so from the bottom on the pond end of the tank, and 2.5 inches on the basking area, i copied the design from http://winkrdink.tripod.com/mikesviquarium/id6.html , i added a submersable filter to the design (Mike didn’t have a filter, just a pump, claims the debris biodegrades and goes away, i don’t know how healthy the pH levels can be from that design) that also serves as sort of a fountain, to keep the tank clean, i’m thinking about altering the design again so it can have a deeper end. on the size of the tank issue, how much water do these guys need? I have a 20 gallon on hand (it’s occupied by two fish, i’ve been meaning to downgrade the tank and free it for other projects) but i’m not sure if that’s necesary for such a tiny turtle..
