Hey guys!
I decided to take pictures in the process of work over the paludarium im preparing for 2 big eyed tree frogs (leptopelis vermiculatus).
First I made a frame from fiber.
Then i started with the ramps which will be the land area of the tank. I used this basket like thing, because there is no sign of egg crate in the bulgarian stores
Here are the ramps in the desired form:
Then i covered them with roof membrane and siliconed sand to the "beach" side.
My plan was to construct a waterfall and here is how i made it. The water pump should be placed under the left ramp (the bigger one), so i made door on top of it so i can have access to the pump for maintenance. I used this thing to hide the hose-pipe in it:
Then i cutted a tube in half, to use it as watercourse
After i decided the degree of the tube it came time for the construction foam.
When it cured i carved the shape a little bit, but i did not toke a picture, sorry...
When i was done i begin to silicone coco fiber over the construction, but there are places where the silicone did not catch the fiber (the red marks).
Im wondering how to hide them.. should i make the same operation with silicone + fiber for those spots or grout with similar color?
Also I used Ceresit aquarium silicone, but there is still hard smell of acetone, almost half a day later. Will the smell disappear soon?
