[Sunshine]

Haha very funny You're just jealous that my tank looks better

[deranged chipmunk]

Nuts! Am i that transparent??? Lol

[Sunshine]

Here is one of the ledges. For some reason when I try to post the other one on here it is HUGE. It takes up the whole screen. Anyhoo, this one looks fun to climb on right?

[deranged chipmunk]

Looks like a froggy rock climbing wall

[Sunshine]

Here are a couple pics with the ledges I made put in. (One is up in the top right corner.)

Wow, that looks really cool. You have some definite skills there. What are those side walls made of? Is that a sheet of Styrofoam that you just carved patterns into? Everything looks really good, I can only hope to make something that cool.

[Sunshine]

Thank you The side walls are made of styrofoam. I broke off pieces and shaped them like rocks and glued them on the larger piece of styrofoam. Then I put 3 coats of tile grout then 3 coats of acrylic paint. Why do you think you couldn't do something like this? I'm sure you could!

[deranged chipmunk]

Nice job sherry! This came out great! Love the ledges, wanna make me a set for my madagascar tank? Lol btw, when spring hit, it you'd like, i'll send you some epiphytic vines for your background. They're too dainty and delicate to ship in this cold

[Sunshine]

I will make you some if you want I would love some epyphytic vines! How much will you want for them?

[deranged chipmunk]

Hmmmm......don't remember saying i would SELL you some vines

[Sunshine]

Oh, well that's even better

[deranged chipmunk]

I've always done things that way. If i have it and you want it and k am trimming, it's yours. All i ask is that you pay it forward. Example, in one of my tank forums, i always post in the local section that i am doing a trim. I will get 30 pm's within 10 minutes, because they know the plants would just be going in the trash if nobody takes them. i like to think i'm helping grow the hobby.

[Sunshine]

You are sweet! I will pay it forward I always like to help others when I can.

[deranged chipmunk]

I know you will. they'll need a few months to grow out anyway. I just got them in a trade a few weeks back. I'm expecting another shipment after Thanksgiving as well better start planning more tanks, i'm going to need to get rid of some plants in the spring.....lol

[FriedrichsFrogs]

[NatureLady]

[Sunshine]
