I'm using it now and I like it.. it saves a lot of room until I move out and get a bigger place/aquarium for my turtles (hopefully 75+ gallons).

The only problem with my turtles is that they couldn't get up on the plastic rock (which looks really real btw). So I put 3 bricks in the tank and now they use that as a footstool to get onto the rock. They can do it really fast and I don't even hear them...

Problem I had was the 2 suction cups really sucked for me. My turtles are adults so their heavy and they'll move the rock a lot so it wasn't cutting it. I found another suction cup that I baught from the store a long time ago and it was a lot "deeper" so it could hold better... I superglued that onto the side of the rock (just the "ball" area of the cup to a crevist in the plastic rock) and it worked out great. That new suction cup alone can hold the two turtles up even if the other 2 default cups are off
