Review on 🐢 Tetra Aquatic Turtle Deluxe Kit 20 Gallons: Complete Aquarium Set with Filter and Heating Lamps (NV33230) - All-in-One Turtle Habitat by Tamara Simpson

I took responsibility for my RES turtle because my girlfriend's younger brother is unable to take care of a turtle. Turtles are a lot of work. If you are considering buying this aquarium but are yet to purchase a turtle, I would put aside and do a lot of research on what your turtle needs and how to maintain its aquarium needs. Turtles are amazing but require a lot of knowledge, fine tuning and cleaning. I didn't know anything about turtles when I started mine, but I know a lot now. This tank is good for beginners, but your turtle will soon outgrow this tank. The swim platform is too short to allow most turtles to swim in enough water. Turtles require 2 inches of water for every 1 inch of body length. If you have a 3 inch turtle you will need at least 6 inches of water in the tank which will submerge your swim platform and raise the water higher than the filter's maximum water line. The turtle must be completely dry lest a half-submerged swim platform cut it. My turtle is currently 3 inches long so I bought some river rocks and put a swim platform and filter on top to keep the filter above the max waterline and the swim platform above the water. Depending on where you live. You may also need a water heater to keep the water temperature above 74. PLEASE research. This aquarium will not fit a turtle larger than 3-4 inches. If you're serious about turtles, it's better to spend money up front on a 100-gallon aquarium, which you'll eventually need as the turtle grows anyway, rather than renovating tanks and stands every two years. I see many photos on Revain with turtles that are too big for this tank. Don't be like that. Do your research and find out.
