## Description

Zoo Med 78098 Turtle Dock, X-Large

Review: Works as described - Absolutely perfect size!
Review: Hands down the greatest tank investment I have made. - So far, this has been the single greatest thing I could have done for my indoor turtle tank. It leaves sufficient room for my rapidly growing shell kids to swim around, while also providing a generous basking area that will. not. sink. when they climb onto it. Literally my only complaint is that my little guy loves basking so much that he took it over and won't let his big sister up onto it when he's there... shouldn't complain though, she's usually the bully in the water so this dock has helped him build confidence. :D I also appreciate that the bottom stays well enough in the water for the plecos to attach and hide in a nice dark area away from the prying eyes of my cats. I was concerned about the turtles making so much mess that the dock would begin to deteriorate or get slimy, but when I installed it I also changed their substrate to sand (quickrete pool sand from home depot, thoroughly rinsed) and have had zero issues. In fact, this is the most spacious and clean their tank has ever been. I believe with proper care, I will have this dock for years to come and I really look forward to installing it in the pond I will eventually make for these little guys. For anyone concerned about the investment, I highly recommend getting it when you can afford it... You will spend more in the long run on a multitude of other dock areas that will only disappoint. If the dimensions of this dock will fit in your tank or pond, it is worth the cost and your shell kids will love you! EDIT: 4 years later and still going strong! I will say, now that the shell kids have grown and are outside in an above ground stock tank pond, they have a tendency to flip this thing, but I think that's a matter of water level from evaporation, so when I have the water up and the dock well anchored it does just fine. I thought about buying a second but they're still able to share it well enough for now. A sort of "fissure" has appeared toward one end, but instead of wrenching on the thing and breaking it, I left it alone and continue to monitor it, and there has been no sign of actual breakage, paint flaking, or any other issues. I can't speak for the nylon cord or bag, as I have mine tied to a faux aquarium log full of rocks, with some bubbler tubing, which has held for YEARS. Still highly recommend this dock!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The XL dock is awesome!
*by M***L on December 18, 2024*

I have a 6inch red eared slider in a 120 gallon tank. (Please excuse the hard water on the glass) He originally had the medium dock and after about a year he was too big for the medium. The XL is huge! It has a ramp on each side. My turtle does not like the basking docks that are enclosed so having the two ramps and the ability to dive off the side if necessary is perfect for him. This one comes with a string and bag that anchors the dock in place. I decided I didn’t want it floating around and had my husband drill holes in the side and just attached the suction cups from his medium dock to this one and it’s perfect. He’s only 6 inches now and will have plenty of room to grow on this basking dock. It barely moves when he climbs onto it. I love it. Totally worth the price
