Here's some updated pictures of my 2.5" SCL Loggerhead musk turtle and his setup. He's doing really well.

That is best set up I've seen for turtles...very naturalistic which is what Is important for reptiles and all animals
 
Thanks for the comments, everybody!

The tank and stand were made by Azoo but I bought them on closeout from Aquatic Ecosystems in Central FL. Because the company is close to where I live, I was able to pick them up in person; however, shipping is reasonably priced too. http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategories/3938/3D-Acrylic-Tanks

I added a 3D background which happened to fit perfectly, and was pretty much ready to go. I agree, I like naturalistic setups and think they not only complement the animals but contribute to their behavioral enrichment as well. My turtle has been in this setup for almost 4 months but I still find him exploring around it. Every few months I completely drain and rearrange it, and he seems so happy afterwards (and I don't get bored looking at the same thing forever, haha).
 
Very nice :thumbsup:
 
Awesome setup and turtle.
