My first vertical conversion attempt

[Pluke]

Just curious Sherry, How much time do you think you've put into this?

[deranged chipmunk]

Thank you! I'm glad you like them This build didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I am still new at this

You'll never be happy with the first few. My first viv was so bad i wouldn't put animals in it. I didn't even bother taking pics it was so bad......lol

Well I started this build in Jan. of this year but all I did was silicone the bottom piece of glass to hold in the water and add the egg crate and window screen barrier. I stopped working on it for a long time and just started again back in August. If I could just sit still and work on the tank and get stuff done, it should have only taken a week with curing and everything. I have no concept of time though so I could be wrong...

Looks awesome, did you end up doing the waterfall?

I did do a waterfall, but there was not enough room to do the cool one that you made I guess it's more like a dripwall/waterfall. It is in the lower left corner. Didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but it was my first time.

Hey Bill... Do you think I should make another vent for the bottom or will the one at the top be enough?

[deranged chipmunk]

ummm....remind me what lives in there again...LOL and what are your numbers now?

[steampunk]

Well if it's any consolation, I'm not happy with my waterfall setup up but we can use this as an excuse to get another tank and more frogs ;-)

I would be proud of what you done, looks really good. And like chipmunk said it might take a few until you get the setup you want.

I don't have anything in there yet, but I want to put some whites in there. I also still need to put a door on it I haven't put a door on because I was debating whether or not to add another vent on the bottom. The tank is 18"x12"x30" and the screen on top is 4"x10".

You know, I just noticed that the title states "My FIRST Build attempt.." This just makes it that much more impressive, Sherry.

I will try and build one some day, but I have a feeling it won't top yours... we'll see though.

I bet you could do it! It's really not that hard, it's just time consuming.

Sherry is 100% correct there. go for it, you won't regret the experience, that's for sure

sorry, my bad. dimensions i knew, i have several 20L tanks i actually meant temp and humidity. i should have been more specific. i would say put a door on it, get some readings and then you can make an informed decision. how that for an answer that doesn't answer anything? LOL

right? she did an awesome job for her first build. those whites are gonna be very happy in their new home

[Sunshine]

I was just worried about ventilation. I wasn't sure if they would be getting enough fresh air since the tank is so tall.

[deranged chipmunk]

well, a second vent definitely will not hurt. it will definitely help air flow you are probably better off having it than not. put it in, you could always cover it later if you find it isn't needed.

[Sunshine]

Good idea! Thank you once again!
