I wish I could play right now, but I'm at school;
I thought the ceiling in Level 18 Advanced was made of the brown steel plating as opposed to the tiles? Or was there a small square of tiles I was not aware of? :|
I did it without touching the turrets or using the platform.

Very easy.
1. Once you are in the room hide yourself in the left corner so that the turrets don’t see you.
2. Create the first portal in line with where the electrical balls are hitting the wall does not matter what side of the 4 walls.
3. Create the second portal in line where one of the turrets are and the ball will the knock over the turret to the water .
4. Once you get the moving platform you have to get the box.
5. To get to the box you have jump on the moving platform.
6. Jump down to the lower area.
7. Set up a portal beside the entrance that you came in from.
8. Set up the second portal on the wall either to the left of or right of where you are.
9. Push the button jump into the portal which will lead you where you had started when you first came in the room
10. Create a portal on the angled wall that popped out when you hit the button.
11. Run over to the left and jump down to the lower platform and create a portal as you plummet down. It will eject you over to where the box is
12. The rest is a cake walk.

Double-fling
Everyone seems to pop back through the entrance to the turret room in order to make the fling across the room to the box by using the longer drop outside.
I think the way I did it (without leaving the turret room) might actually have been what's intended. After pushing the button under where the box is, you put a portal on the now-angled tile, and one on the low platform below you at gunk level, and jump down through the lower portal. This shoots you across the room but only fast enough to hit ... the portal you put at gunk level. On the second fling you make it.
(Of course all solutions are equally valid - just the fact that the advanced map has this new floor in just the right place for a double-fling across the turret room makes me think it may have been the "intended" solution.)

It's a very quick move, so it won't be easy to spot in a video. As you are flying across the first gap, look right and put a portal on the floor of the second (raised) section. If you wait until you land, you'll be too low to see the raised floor (and put a portal there).

he is talking about the advanced level...it has no plasma balls
Considering I lucked out in passing the first gap and now having to cross it again to put the portal on top, i can't make it lol. I tried doing infinite fall and then launch myself but havn't nailed it yet. Plus, i always seem to pop out in the wrong direction to place the portal.

You have to kind of do both at the same time, get a portal in place while you're in the air.
I'll admit, 18 was a mind bender on advanced. My obvious thought was to take the turrets out. But upon getting completely annihilated on each attempt I gave up and assumed it involved some sort of portal trickery to do it without taking turrets out. Or thought you were supposed to take something with you from that little room to knock them out. Then I finally realized you just take em out quick and take cover. I was thoroughly impressed with myself for making it to both rooms without taking them out, tho. Unfortunately there was no way to get the cube out without getting annihilated again, or none that I found anyway. Figured I'd use the cube as a shield and place it on the platform then drop down, but the turrets were having none of that.

We ARE still talking about the advanced level, aren't we? The one with the metal ceiling, so you can't do an infinite fall?
I can get to the turret room without difficulty, but moving on from there is damn hard. I tried taking out the turrets, but I either can't make the jump, or get shot down before I have a chance to toss the turret, by another one on the other side of the room.
If anyone can offer help by any means, it would be much appreciated! I'm 17% off vanilla crazy cake!
Start with the turret closest to you when you enter the room.
Try to fling yourself so you land on it and then jump to nearest wall and portal youself to safety!
This level was the only one in the whole game that I couldn't find straightforward solutions for. What I did in that room was take out the closest turret by doing a little bit of portal magic. If you place a portal on the wall right behind the turret, you won't have enough momentum to get to it because there is no floor down below. So what you do is memorize the spot where that wall portal should go, then do a portal on the wall + jump into portal on the floor trick. As you come out of the portal on the wall, spin around real quick and while still in midair fire another wall portal to that spot you had memorized just before you land on the floor portal. If you time it right, you'll shoot out over the slime and land on the turret platform. It's not easy.
The 2nd turret I took out was the one closest to the first one. This one is easy to get to. Just fire a portal on the wall behind the turret, way on top near the ceiling, then fire another portal on the same wall, a bit below ground level so you can jump and get some momentum. It should project you enough to get to that 2nd turret's platform. One of the remaining 2 turrets will fire at you so be sure to portal out of there quick.
