Right now my turtle just basks on her big rock, but I saw some above tank basking areas online and thought that would be cool and give her more room to swim. But I have a big filter and the ATBAs I saw doesn't look like they took that into account. I know I saw that thread where everyone posted their ATBAs but I'm not creative, does anyone know of some already made basking areas that make room for a filter?

some barbecue grills and some zip ties. There are many more alternatives, but this has worked for me, plus, it's a bit cheaper. Just wait for other members' input. However, See my thread: http://dumbork.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/atba-set-up/

Some ATBAs have notches to accomodate filter tubes. Not all ATBAs cover the entire tank either. The only pre-made ATBA, is a turtle topper and that's only for smaller tanks.
