I might have one in my parents basement, but they threw a lot of stuff out...but i dont think it's very wide.

[amicheze]

i have a 4 ft "show" 55 gal aquarium and stand that was used for a salt water tank, i havent used it for about 6 months but its still full of water, ive been thinking about selling it its about 2 years old, theres no scratches and its in really good shape im not sure what i want for it i have to see what i paid for it, i could gets some pics and stuff if ur interested

[Turbo5Oh]

[amicheze]

Hey man I got a perfect tank for ya, 55 gallon with a homemade scrren top on it. I can get pics if you want, it has the wood trim on it. I busted the center support piece on it when it was a fish tank. I had been using it for my tree frogs but needed the space so I resized them into a ten gallon! let me know!

[amicheze]

pics would be great. it has to be able to hold water though. its an aquatic turtle.

[DerekN]

How much water, it held water when it was broken filled but it's not all that safe to do, but the screen cover I built should support it enough to fill it half full! I will try and get some pics tommorrow!

[amicheze]

sounds good. pics and dimensions would be awesome. as of right now itll only need about 6 inches of water, but probably more later on. im sure i could find some way to brace it if i needed to.

[DerekN]

With lid and all it is roughly 50 inches Long, 13 inches wide and about 23 inches tall, other wise teh tank is a standard 55 gallon 4ft long 12" 3/4 wide and 21" tall. I would say $25 o.b.o. let me know. Can you pick it up? it would defintiely hold six inches of water! it held water completely full, but just over time it could possibly let go with all taht pressure but 6 inches shouldn't even bother it at all and like I said the lid will brace the top or if you wanna make your own. It is a homemade lid, something I threw together really quick like, but it works. Pm me your email address so I can send some pics to you there tommorrow sometime after work!

Thanks Jared, Hope the tank works well for your turtle!
