I have a 55 gallon tank I want to use for three small turtles and
some
fish. The tank will be about 3/4 full of water and have an island in
the middle of it and that island will have real plants from the local
greenhouse in it's soil. The island will be supported by a tower of
cheap empty Tupperware boxes to prevent too much of a weight load on
the tank's glassy bottom. There will be pond vine plastic plants


Ah, my friend that has turtles FEEDS them guppies and goldfish. Your
system,
to me, doesn't seem "sustainable". g

YMMV!

Maybe we could interest you in a few frogs instead? The African dwarf
frog is fish friendly, and is fully aquatic. Some red-belly fire newts
would enjoy your island, and are relatively fish friendly.
