Default furniture table tank for turtle

Hello

I saw today a pretty big table which was actually a tank for fish and turtles. It looked so nice! I have red eared sliders. I was thinking maybe i could use this up somehow and made a table in my living room which should be a turtle tank too. I know its a bit odd notion. There are things that could be problem like heat lamp, filter the water. Naturally i could solve this but the main problem could be the stress. I dont know. I need experienced people's opinion who have similar tanks or made built in solutions. Ideas? (Of course it would be at least 300-400l ) I dont wanna make them unhappy.

Thanks
Ropy

take it from a guy who's retailed aquaria for 23 years... those are made for people. not for animals. I'd stick to a more reasonable set up.

You can put people in them? That would be sweeeeeeeeet! Now, I just need to buy one of those tables and a hot chick in a bikini to go in it!

LOL, Ethan. I was trying to suggest in a nice way, that anyone who buys something like that hasn't really thought about realistically maintaining such a torture vessel.
