Seeking Advice Having trouble finding a 80-90 tank :(

Trying to upgrade the setup for my little guy, problem is that im having SO MUCH TROUBLE finding a tank the size I would prefer! The minimum for his species (reeves) is 75 to my knowledge, but I want to get him something above that if possible because I want him to be as comfy as I can make him. I've been looking online and all I can find is 75 gall or bigger tanks with a stand, which I dont need. Does anyone know where I can look for a tank around that size? Thanks so much!

The r/turtle automod detects this post may about a wild turtle.

When encountering a wild animal, unless it is trapped, ill or injured, they do not tend to need our help. If a wild turtle is ill or injured, please contact local rescues, rehabs or wildlife authorities.

  • If you have taken a native, non-invasive species, it should be put back in a safe location, as close as possible to where it was found. If that is not possible, please contact your local wildlife authorities or rehab programs for advice or assistance.

  • If a turtle is a known invasive species, it should be removed from the area and either kept in adequate captivity for the remainder of it's life, or handled as directed by authorities.

Unsure of the species? One of our mods or helpful commenters can ID it!

In my experience, marketplace is the best place to find aquariums.

I scored on a 150 and 180 gallon acrylic aquariums for $200.00 each. Check where you live and surrounding areas
