>>Is it large enough? Yes.
>>Would it be better to have something larger? Yes.
>>But then, if you went out and got a 75 gallon tank for Scooter, there would be those who would argue that a 125 would be even better...which would be true.

I agree with that.. I've always been one to say that the bigger the enclosure the better. My painted moved into a 55L in Jan. he's about 4 & 3/4 inches long. He's full grown, he's loving this new tank but I can see that yes 100 gallon would be really nice for him. He seems happy in the 55 though & it is better than what he moved out of.

I don't want Scooter feeling cramped but when I saw this 30 gallon long well.. I went for it lol.
I did it because yes it is better than what he's in right now. It's a nice tank, looks almost new. It's been well cared for, came with the stand, the light-hood fixture, a filter that I won't use because my canister is better. It came with an extra airation (sp) system too that may end up in the painted's tank.

The stand was clean as a whistle as was the tank. So for 40 dollars more than the 40 gallon that we haven't had time to get, Scooter will be in his new home as soon as I get the ramp & hide box that I want for him.

This 30 will fit under the 55 gallon on the stand I already have as we'd planned originally.. the stand I got with the 30 is just gravy & I have other plans for it's use. I'm happy, not as happy as I want to be but this set up will get him out of the turtle ghetto & will do for now.
Thanks for the input!
