If turtles are going to be involved itll be quite a bit harder. Turtles are strong once they get larger and can be very destructive. What Ive done is used a glass divider, siliconed rocks and wood/roots on it, then siliconed it into the tank on a steep angle. Then dump soil in 1/2 and water in the other half. Properly decorated you cant even tell theres glass and its durable and easy to clean. Just my $0.02.
Oh and make sure to silicone EVERYTHING into place as turtles like to push things around and dig up plants for whatever reason. I silicone rocks together or to the sides and silicone rocks around plant pots which I burry in the soil.

coral keeper how did you make the back for your tank ? I have a 55 gallon that i just made into a turtle tank. I was planning on puttin a back on it like yours so i could add some anoles. Is it possible to have a few limbs sticking out of it also, so they will have a place to sit and bask ? plzzz comment back soon ill post some pics up as soon as im done with it i think you might like it. Its right up your alley

Go to home depot and get a few cans of Great Stuff. Its a foamy glue. You can stick in a few limbs if you want. When you spray the Great Stuff put on what ever you want on it like coco fiber, peat moss, ect. Don't wait very long or it wont stick as well. Or you can spray the great stuff and put the limbs in and then let it dry up. Then you can put brown (or what ever color you want) silicone over the Great Stuff and put on the coco fiber or peat moss or what ever you want, it will work very good if you put the Great Stuff then the silicone on top of the silicone after the Great Stuff drys up.

i've been looking for something, later on in the year, when i got seahorse tank urnning smoothly and my parents cool down from all the money they spent on it, to buy.
how much did this project cost you? and what size is that tank?
and one more quesiton, where do you buy dart frogs? heard there only poisonous from what they eat, thats neat.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! Its a 10 gallon tank and it only cost me like $15-$20. You can buy them from breeders and yes, they get there poison from eating poisonous bugs in the wild. So people feed them FFs and lots of other bugs that aren't poisonous. There are dart frogs that are $15-$1,000 each
