Thanks everyone, much appreciated! Yeah, for the turtles only being 4-5" there alot more active than some of my larger ones who just bask/sleep all day and actually use most of the water space. There just getting used to all the extra dry space up top after a month or so. These pics were actually the first time i caught them both up there. Hard to see but theres an egg crate ramp zip tied to the top brace of the 25gal. The 25gal is just turned upside down and the gladd lids of the 90gal are in place to create the land area. Hard to decorate the dry area with an arm half underwater but they seem to like it opposed to just a floating log.

Hope theres enough air thats a good question lol, but there is a 2.5" hole drilled in the back wall of the 25 as it was set up as a tank many times before this. Its covered by the plant in the pic. Theres not a very good seal around the tank/topper itself either but maybe adding an airstone that goes into the topper as it rises would help.
