GOZILLA Turtle Basking Platform with Feeding Tray & Adjustable Ramp,Anit-Slip,Durable,Height Adjustable Hanging Platform.Acrylic Turtle Dock for Small Turtles, Reptiles and Aquatic Pets. (Medium Kit)

Works okay for small turtles, but has some real limitations
I wanted to like this basking platform more than I do, but it’s got some issues that are worth knowing about before you buy.The good stuff:- Super easy to put together – took me maybe 5 minutes- Once it’s on there, it feels pretty sturdy and doesn’t slip around- The acrylic stays cool under the heat lamp, which is nice. I’ve had metal platforms before that got way too hot to touch.- The height adjustment actually works well – you can move it up and down without fighting with it- For $19, the price seems fairThe not-so-good stuff:- This is the big one – it only fits on really thin tank walls. I was hoping to use it on my larger turtle ponds, but nope. It only works on my small grow-out tank. Definitely measure your tank walls before ordering!- It’s pretty small, so this is really only for baby or juvenile turtles. Once they get bigger, they’ll outgrow it fast.- The acrylic actually blocks UVB light, which turtles need for calcium absorption. So even though they’re under the basking lamp, they’re not getting those important UV rays through the platform itself.- The surface is slick – I’m probably going to glue some fake grass on the ramp so they can actually climb up without sliding back down.- The feeding tray seems like a nice idea, but most turtles need to eat in the water anyway, so I doubt I’ll use it.- My two juveniles are scared of it right now and won’t go near it. I’m sure they’ll get used to it, but you may have an adjustment period with your turtles as well.Bottom line:If you’ve got a regular aquarium with thin walls and some little turtles, this might work for you. Just be aware of the size limitations and the UV blocking issue. Make sure your UVB bulb can still reach them when they’re swimming around, not just when they’re on the platform. And measure your tank walls first, just to ensure it will fit before ordering.

Simple to build and install.
Simple to build, easy to install and love by my daughters crayfish who sits in it and chills. It is perfect size and allows her crayfish to happily climb the ramp and get into it.One tip, make sure you put stones/sand/gravel on the ramp as it is difficult for a crayfish to see as it is clear 🙂

These are great
Definitely worth the 20$. I have a number of these in varying sizes, etc., and – as yet – I don’t have a turtle 1, (but soon). In my aquariums I set up a strong variety of different zones, hanging these ‘shelves’ subsurface with some substrate, plants some rocks and such creates some very natural-like mini habitat space; a lot of fish are territorial – each staking out their own little ‘room’ in the tank. These are super simple and quick to assemble and install, takes longer to decide where to put it. I have community tanks with a lot of fish types, at least 6 in each unit, so creating those ideal zones for each species, (even each individual, depending on the type) is important, and an aspect of aquarism I particularly enjoy. The thickness, grade/quality, and connection hardware vary some in these, this is in the midrange, which hits in about 4.5 stars; I have some higher end ones that are pricier and much more like the ‘glass’ part of plexiglass, but for a unit like this, it doesn’t need to be ‘see-through’ clear, neither the turtles, the fish or any other critter isn’t going to care.

good enough
It’s ok, nothing super fancy and it feels somewhat brittle, but it’s cheap.
