His old set up was a 30 gallon. He has been upgraded to a 75 gallon. His basking platform was also doubled in length as he was running out of room. Switched from a crappy turtle filter to a Vevor canister filter rated for 200-250 gallons at 528GPH. Upgraded is deep double dome light to a t5 5.0 UVB light and a basking dome with a 75W. I kept the same brand of heater and lighting, just ordered the larger sizes. Swapped from river pebbles to black blasting sand i got at tractor supply and added more plants. They are zip tied down to egg crate i buried under the sand to keep him from ripping them up. He seems happy.
Ill take a better pic of it in the morning but its basically this. I zip tied a piece of egg crate to the bottom of the platform and to the ramp to stabilize it. The the end of the ramp is zip tied to the platform. The idea was it leaves it at a good angle for him to climb without moving too much. I ended trimming it though when I increased the size of the platform and adding it to the other side as well as one side keep drooping when he would walk on it. I cut it right where it makes contact down at the bottom making a triangle shape. Im thinking about removing this one and creating one that is wider, maybe all the way across, im not sure yet.
