NICE! How do you have the lil landing and "staircase" built for the turtle glued in with aquarium silicon?

Awesome inclosure! My only concern is the black fabric you have keeping up the basking light... you might need to shine directly at the turtle so it can supply the proper Vitamin D and UVA/UVB rays.
