I just made a new, larger basking spot for my male map turtle, and I had a quick question about the porcelain tile sheet I bought from Home Depot and how to best attach it to the egg crate platform.

On one of the pictures you can see each tile is attached by some sort of glue, which may not be best when in contact with aquarium water or direct heat from a MVB. Any ideas/suggestions? Should I grout them together or is that still unstable?

I bet you could use aquarium silicone to attach the tiles to the egg crate.
