Tank advice

[Kierongrady]

Hi there. I have two red eared sliders that are about 2 and half years old. Their shells are about 6inches in length. I think they are going to continue to grow although am not sure by how much. They are presently in a 100 gallon tank which seems fine for them but I expect they will eventually outgrow it. I don't want to keep buying bigger and bigger tanks. I would like to just get the "final tank" that I will need now. My question is "what size tank should I get if I want it to be the last one I do get"?
Thanks for any advice people have.

Are they saltwater turtles. Lol

You're right. It's an Aquatics forum. Turtles are aquatic reptiles. Seems fair enough to post here.

The 10 gallon / inch is the recommended calculation on most forums although I wouldn't necessarily say you have to have that size for 2 RES. I have 2 RES in about 180 gallons with no intention of going bigger. They also share their home with some medium sized goldfish and koi.

But you should definitely be filtering it like its a 300-400 gallon.

It's actually a reef forum, but he can post if he likes, just not as likely to get advice on turtles. Or at least good advice on turtles, compared to say, just wild ass guessing here, but maybe a turtle forum....
Try quoting where I said not to post....
