Richard Lunsford's 75 Gallon Tanks
5 of 16
75 Gallon Glass Aquarium.
Filtration: Eheim Pro II 2028. Substrate: None (Bare-bottom).
Structure: Synthetic resin log (white, left of center), synthetic stump (far left), natural driftwood, Top Fin line synthetic mangrove root (right rear, hardly visible in this shot), live Anacharis (mid-tank), silk plants (lower right front, rear of tank & above water line). Epoxy-coated (I think) metal shelf with a plastic cat litter pan of play sand on top (for small sofshell to bury in).
Basking Platform: 2 Large ZooMed Turtle Docks.
Lighting: Clamp Lamp with mercury vapor bulb for basking. 2 Compact SeaLife Power Compact Fluorescent fixtures, each with a 65 watt bulb.

Special Notes: You can see 2 small rope rish at the bottom, just right of center, orange against the green silk plant foliage. This tank was designed for a juvenile Eastern Spiny Softshell and served well; he liked to bask on a Turtle Dock with some silk plant leaves for cover/hiding.
