Answer by lovelovelove
Craigslist, Ebay, Petco (they have their $ 1 per gallon sale a few times a year). But you do know, your turtles will need a pond. If you choose to keep them in tanks, one turtle will need AT LEAST a 120 gallon tank since you need about 10 gallons per INCH of turtle and they get to 12 inches. So if you have 2 turtles, you’ll need a 240 gallon tank. Those sizes are not sold in your local petco petsmart and will be quite expensive. Also, I suggest you don’t get the combo because you’ll need to place a heat lamp and UVB light on top of the tank so the hood combo will be quite useless.

Question by Sally: How much could I buy a 75 gallon all glass aquarium with a hood for?
All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would care to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low tin I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $ 1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.

Answer by bettachris
my 55 gallon is 4 feet in length, 12 inches broad, and 20 inch highmy 75 is a corner tank so i dont have the specs on that.Anyway lets go back to question. All glass is cheaper than acrylic, Im not sure if you know the difference, but heres alitle bit about it.Acryilic is light, but gets damaged more easily. It is more expensive as well. Where glass is heavier, and less easily scratched.My hood for my 55 gallon was a 100 dollars by itself. I did buy my 55 gallon new, with a double stand for 88 dollars from my lfs.So that is just a general price range. For a brand new 75 with a hood you can expect the ball park number of 170-200, the hood being the most expensive part.

Answer by nosoop4u246
Consider that it may be more worthwhile to make a DIY sump, peculiarly since there is then no dealing with pressurization. If you do go the canister route, this would be your outflank bet: http://randystacye.com/diy_canister_filter.htmA sump would ultimately be much simpler, more effective, and less serve, but it will take up more space… hopefully you could conceal it in the stand, or even behind the tank.http://www.aquariumlife.net/projects/aquarium-sumps/76.asphttp://home.ptd.net/~reef101/diysump.htmlhttp://www.aquarticles.com/articles/management/Uthup_Sump_Filter.htmlIf you use a canister, the size isn’t really important, just do sure you can fit plenty of media in it. For a sump, even 10 gallons would be sufficient, but something like a 20 gallon sump would be far more effective.
