DIY Plastic Turtle Platform

Make a basking platform for your turtle out of plastic items! Gather four cake pillars or pieces of PVC pipe and attach either end of the pillars to each corner of two plastic trays with aquarium sealant. Place the turtle platform in your tank, cover the bottom tray with gravel and place several stone slabs on the top tray for weight and warmth. Fill your aquarium up to the top of the platform, decorate the aquarium with plants and other decor your pet turtle will enjoy and hang a light over the platform.
