Switching to water!

[dsmalex97]

I read alot about making my own but all of the parts still came out to around 50ish to do it right.



Thats a great deal. Cant wait to see than monster in action!



Personally i dont like the dirt method. I do think you would have more trouble with the filter clogging no matter how big it is. My water bowls would always be full of dirt and i would change them everyday. I have been using bricks but i too would like to see a nice ramp. Those bricks are heavy!
Maybe i could mode some kind of turtle ramp for something.......

Yeah, 50 is about where I'm ending up too...

I think you really are just better off buying one rather going through all the hassle. :[

The Rena Filstar XP1 is amazing. I have never seen my water so clean.

I owe it all to you guys. I wouldn't have even been looking at canisters had you all not brought it up.

For an adult male do you guys use the 20 gallon tank or the 40 gallon breeder? i feel like 20 gallons might be a little too small now where i used to feel it was perfect. Also has anyone tried finding a Giant Waterdish lol? let me know what is a good waterdish if you find one, ive been looking for a good waterdish or tray for ages.

A lot of it will depend on the actual size of your adult male. But, if you have the 40 gallon breeder, go for it. Make it roomy.

As far as a water dish, something like this makes a nice water dish: http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-2951-2951-AR-BISQUE-Dishpan/dp/B0000DINAX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320388977&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Whoa. What happened to all the previous posts in this thread?

@Jimi You're so lucky you got it on clearance for $35; if I see that deal somewhere I'm snagging it. So clean you would drink from it?

Yeah, I was really fortunate. It is pretty freaking clean. If I had to drink from one of my tanks, that would be my watering hole.
