Post Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 12:35 pm   Deluxe Turtle Tank + Equipment - ZooMed

Pretty good. It's a 20 gallon long tank. It is great for 2 turtles. It comes with needed lighting (13 watt). Filter also comes in it with basking dock. Turtle food and water conditiner included.

I use it temp until I get a 50 gallon tank. Turtles love it and so will you.
PetSmart it's about $170.
Turtles:
Dexter (RES)
Shelby (RES - gone and I feel really really bad).
Miracle (Box Turtle - Given to me after Shelby left us).
Orion (Mississippi Map Turtle).

$170 is a bit pricey for 20 gallon long. Bundles are usually very convenient, especially for new keepers but too expensive and limited.

It came with everything else. So, I thought it was a good price for it. It was tax so it equaled about $170.

I'm thinking that is a little toward the expensive side, maybe worth the convenience for you if your not willing to piece something together. Considering PetSmart/PetCo has twice a year $1 a gallon tank sales, that 20 gallon long would be $20. It's a common tank and I've seen them go cheap on craigslist.

The zoomed filter will be worthless unless your turtles are small hatchlings.

20 long = good for one small turtle up to 2". $20-30 new
13 watt UVB bulb + lamp = $10 + $10 = $20
Small basking dock = $10
Turtle pellets = $5
Water conditioner = not recommended
Zoomed filter = what devilduck said.... not worth very much.

LOL is this an advertising ploy? For $170 that is absolutely not something I'd love. That setup would be good for hatchlings and even that's a stretch.
I build acrylic ATBAs.
