I think a 75 gal would support 2 painted turtles if you fill it up all the way. Build a canopy hood so the basking area is above the top of the tank. This is the only way to take full advantage of the 75 gallons of water. They prefer not to be handled.

Heres some pics of my 120 gal setup. Notice the tank is completely full.


Here are some basic ideas for building a canopy hood.
