What are your thoughts on this 300Gal setup for a FRT?

My next question, assuming I get the tank replace, is how should I fill the tank? My previous FRT tank was only 58 gallons so filling it with RO water was no big deal. Should I invest the time and money filling the tank with RO water or will treated tap water be ok?

I got the new tank last Thursday and ordered a 3D background from Aquarium Habitats.

My 3D background install is coming along!

Nice background. Hope that it is hard plastic. My 2 Frts like to taste everything in their respective tanks, .....like heaters, filter outackes, plants, rocks, and yes fish.

Love to see you post a picture when you have it all done!

Janev - The background is very hard and I have no concerns with them eating it. I have a similar background in their current tank that is not as hard and have not had any problems. The foam riser I had to make is a another issue though. I am concerned about it holding up over time. I plan on covering the base with glass fiver and epoxy. I bought the supplies today.

I finished up siliconing the background into the tank today. I will post picture of the process soon.

Always been fascinated by these turtles - they're so much like a sea turtle it's incredible. Keep us updated on the progress and make sure you post pictures of the inhabitants when you get them!

Here is a picture of it siliconed in place.

And here is a grainy image of my babies.

Treated tap is fine for turtles. They do not need the reverse osmosis water. just make sure it isn't too hard.

Tank looks great btw.

FRTs like hard water. I buffer my RO water for this reason.
