I have several basking platforms from SKARUS, and they continue to impress me with quality and thoughtful design. Dual Arm System: I'm curious to see how well this hangs with just two hanging arms as opposed to the four-arm models. So far it seems stable, and I think the feet you attach to the bottom will help a lot to provide additional stability and prevent tipping. Assembly: Like the other SKARUS platforms I've used, the instructions are well-written and clear. Assembly takes a bit of time to ensure everything fits together securely, but it's worth it for your turtle's safety. Size Consideration: This seems great for juvenile turtles - probably not full-sized adult ones though. If you have large, heavy turtles, you might want to consider a different model with more support. Adjustability: I love the extensible height feature! Being able to customize the platform height for your specific tank setup is fantastic. The 1.2" rim gap accommodation works with a wide variety of tank styles. Non-Slip Ramp: The non-slip ramp is a nice touch that makes it easier for turtles to climb up and access the basking area safely. Value: Great value for the price, and you can dress it up with moss or plants to make it look more natural in your tank. Bottom Line: Excellent turtle dock for juvenile turtles. Well-made and adjustable. Curious about dual-arm stability but optimistic! Highly recommend! Review: Trouble getting the pieces to fit - I ordered this for our adult RES turtle who is in need of a new basking spot. The instructions seem pretty straightforward, but I had issues with which side should face which way. I also couldn't get a couple of the pieces to go in all the way. When I tried to push it further I could hear the beginning of a crack, so I stopped. Although it appears to be well made and durable, I would feel a lot better if the pieces fit properly. The basking space is large enough for a full grown turtle and it feels like it would support his weight without issue. I especially like the adjustable height so you can set the platform further down if needed. This is a decent price for the product, but I worry that the lack of proper fit could result in product failure. Overall, I wouldn't recommend. ## Features - [Fully Adjustable Hanging System] The rotating top hooks adapt to tank rim thicknesses from 0.6" to 1.2" (1.5–3 cm) , fitting both rimless and most framed aquariums. Simply adjust the vertical height from 7.9" to 13.8" via removable pipes to match your desired water level, keeping the main basking deck completely dry while the ramp dips perfectly into the water. - [Ideal for Medium to Large Setups] Perfectly dimensioned for mid-to-large aquariums (65G, 90G, 110G High, 120G). To ensure plenty of swimming space underneath and avoid a crowded look, we highly recommend using this platform on tanks with a minimum height of 20 inches. - [Space-Saving & Sink-Proof Design] Securely suspended from above, this wall-mounted dock frees up valuable bottom floor space, maximizing the underwater swimming area for your pets. Unlike traditional floating docks that submerge under weight, our rigid PVC structure easily supports heavy adult turtles without sinking. - [Rock-Solid 4-Point Leverage Support] For enhanced stability, two reinforced support rods extend beneath the hanging arms to press gently against the glass wall. This leverage system forms a secure four-point structural support that prevents tilting, shifting, or wobbling when heavy turtles climb up and down. - [Spacious & High-Traction Surface] Featuring a large 10" × 13.4" sunbathing deck, it allows aquatic pets to fully stretch out. The breathable hollow grid design ensures instant water drainage, while the specialized high-friction mesh ramp provides excellent claw grip for safe, slip-resistant transitions from water to land. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0GF7LNX8N | | ASIN | B0GF7LNX8N | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #138,241 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #235 in Aquarium Stands | | Brand Name | SKARUS | | Color | Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (3) | | Date First Available | January 6, 2026 | | Date First Available | January 6, 2026 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 15.75 x 13.39 x 13.19 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 14.17 x 11.02 x 3.15 inches | | Item Weight | 2.62 pounds | | Item model number | SK0006 | | Item model number | SK0006 | | Manufacturer | SKARUS | | Manufacturer | SKARUS | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | Hanging Turtle Platform | | Product Dimensions | 15.75 x 13.39 x 13.19 inches; 2.62 Pounds | | Size | 13.4"W | | Target Audience Keyword | Fish | ## Images ![Hanging Basking Platform - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vOldsWi8L.jpg) ![Hanging Basking Platform - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Pox0stvIL.jpg) ![Hanging Basking Platform - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BJESSMWVL.jpg) ![Hanging Basking Platform - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UwQGFU5YL.jpg) ![Hanging Basking Platform - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DQKSaZfML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Turtle Dock with Dual Arm Design *by R***A on March 20, 2026* Very happy with this turtle dock!
