Have you considered this? http://www.turtletopper.com/

With some cheap PVC pipe and creativity you can also make your own.

Okay didn't mention you had 3 turtles. How big are they? 3 turtles would outgrow a 55 gal. pretty quickly. You can also purchase flat pieces of cork bark and cut and wedge them into the tank.

Don't buy an exo terra turtle bank. no one makes good large docks. Look at some of the build threads its not that hard to build an out of tank basking area. Maybe someone can draw you up something I cant I'm useing a phone Good luck.

That's a good point. How big are your turtles ? I have 2 in a 40 gallon but they are under 3 inches long.

I don't know of any place that makes custom turtle docks. You can improvise sure but I think what you need is to make and Above Tank Basking Area (ATBA)
1 male RES - Franklin
2 gold fish and 1 silver Fathead Minnow that started out as feeder fish & earned their right to live
3 Leopard Geckos - Gizmo, Snow and Boo
