PENN-PLAX Reptology Turtle Topper Extender Clips (4 Pieces) – Safely Mounts to Tanks up to 19.5” Wide

I bought this basking tray years ago and it's still holding up.

It's easy to assemble and fits perfectly.

We put this on our 20 gallon tank. Our turtle’s shell is approximately 5” in diameter. He struggled to get in the first couple of days but finally figured out a method and now he loves it. I will say that I think this is more ideal for 29 gallon tank or bigger. With a 20 gallon you can’t fill the tank with enough water to meet the recommended fill line on the ramp; this results in the ramp being somewhat steep. Overall though, it’s a really study and well made product.

I have a mixed review on this:It is a good size. However, it would be nice if the opening was a bit bigger.The ramp cracked a bit when I put it together, but maybe that was just me being too heavy handed. (Though I was pretty gentle.)On the subject of the ramp, it is way too short. In order for the water to come up high enough, the tank would need to be filled all the way.I made some modifications to extend the ramp for my turtle.I do suggest getting the extenders. If your tank is the correct size for a turtle, it will be too wide to set the box on top.This is nice to give my turtle an extra basking area and give him more space to roam. I did not put the platform underneath because I didn't want to take up any of his swimming area.I also have a large dock for him to bask on.Overall, this is nice. Just be prepared to make modifications.I used plastic aquarium grid dividers and zip ties to extend the ramp. (I drilled holes in the ramp to attach them.)This is what I used:https://a.co/d/g80kDul

use to use with old basketing tray for the turtle.

Coolest thing I’ve bought my turtle she loves it for great on my 20 gallon tank was easy to put together the plastic is very durable and high quality looks great on top of the tank.

First one ordered was a disappointment. It's like buying it from a thrift store. No original box. All the pieces were thrown into an Amazon box. There was no manual or instructions and it was missing a side piece to keep the ramp in place. I would have made do with this unit if all the parts were there as it seems well made. Unfortunately, it was useless if I couldn't keep the ramp level. The replacement I received was the way it should have been the first time around with the manufacturer original box, a manual and everything neatly packaged inside. All parts were there.All parts seem sturdy and well made. It took some force to snap the ramp to the floor unit portion but once in I knew that it would stay in place. There are additional side supports for the ramp. My tank is a 29 gallon tank and the whole unit rested perfectly on top. I had a couple issues with this product and needed to make adjustments. The first was the ramp. It seemed to be hard for my red eared sliders to climb up on it. I have two of them (4 inch and 3 inch). As some others mentioned, the ramp may be too steep. It seemed that way in my case. I'm not sure if the water level had much impact on the ability for the turtles to climb. Also wondering if traction was an issue. I resolved my ramp issue by first extending it. I got the lid of those Hillshire Ham containers and cut it to size I wanted and then used hot glue gun to attach it. Then getting a shelf liner from 99 cent store. It's like the waffle, rubbery or foamy type and I guess waterproof. I just hot glue gunned the liner just above the side support of the ramp. After doing this my turtles are able to climb up nicely. My 4 inch one does it seamlessly. My 3 inch turtle seems to just wanna hang out on the ramp to bask. I don't know if it just wants to remain close to the water.My second issue is getting my basking lamp at the proper height. So the clamp attaches fine to the side on the cover but my lamp doesn't tilt down enough to get the right angle. So I went to Home Depot and bought an egg crate lighting panel /Louvre. One panel and I had plenty left over. I cut three pieces. Two for the bottom support and one for the top. I cut it wide enough to extend beyond the side supports. Used the hot glue gun again to attach all three pieces. It worked perfectly. There's plenty of room. I also added some of the shelf liner to the basking area. I wasn't sure if the plastic was getting too hot for my turtles as they weren't wanting to bask initially. So just to be sure I added the liner which doesn't seem to be affected by the heat. It is also soft so I thought my turtles would enjoy that better.Despite the hassle of getting a dud on the first go, I'm very satisfied after my modifications. It should last as long as my turtles do.

The media could not be loaded. Such a great price for the product you receive. It fits on my Size 29 tank, 30¼"L x 12½"W x 18¾"H.The lamp clips right on the plastic lid. It's easy for the turtles to climb up the ramp to eat and slide right back down into the water when ready.This is easy to assemble.
