im building an out of tank basking spot like this because red ear slider love as much water as possible and it keeps them from fighting with eachother cuz they have more swimming space so this way i can full the tank up and make a nice lookin thing like this( of course mine will look better then these tho)

Those are cool. I am going to make one for my turtles.

the red eared turtles are illegal in the US now. Pet stores cannot sell them anymore and those who have them cannot release them in ponds. The reason behind this is the fact that ppl would release the turtles in any pond they find. This was effective on 7/1/07

good, they get huge and eat everything, DONT EVER RELEACE ANYTHING INTO THE WILD, just build a bigger tank...

This is not the whole US but it is only Florida. They can still keep the ones they have now, but can not buy any more or breed them. Albinos and other color morphs are exempt from this law.

Very nice work. My mind just exploded with ideas for my RES!

If you use a large volume of water, the water stays spotless like an aquarium. I currently have mine in a 90g tank about 7/8 of the way full with a very small basking area and floating log. I really like your idea however!

I also like the idea of construction a long, wide, shallow tank with that thickness of glass. The shorter the tank, the less the thickness will be a problem. I would go 96x48x18" for some rays.
