The fish will come and go but this will be the turtles home. In the past I used egg crates in a 125 but I feel like they were difficult so looking to hear some other suggestions?
 
What kind of turtles. I have a snapping turtle i am building a tank for and he will wreck anything he can get his claws into. I would get a whole different tank for the babies if it was me.

2 yellow bellied slider turtles... I ended up making a egg crate barrier with suction cups so the baby turtle is in one section of the 125 gallon tank so far so good.

Man thats pretty nice tank. Do they have a basking area?
1000042900.jpgyup just made one for them today. While I was making it one of the yellow slider turtles climbed out of the tank and fell on the floor hopefully it's okay. Didn't see any damage or anything and it's swimming and eating as normal. I knew I should have lowered the water level but thought I could fix this egg crate thingy quick.
