10 gallon vertical test build

after all day painting today the wall is done except for being sealed. Need to figure out how i'm going to seal it







I'm pretty happy with it. Looks way better in person. Used sponge painting and dry brush tactics to apply the paint

Went to the Sin City Reptile Show today (Cincinnati) and found a frog dealer who deals in PDFs and RETFs. Picked up a Exo Terra Light fixture for the viv and bulb for it. Almost walked out with a 24x18x24 Exo Terra since the guy had it for a great price but decided to hold back (maybe the next show if the funds are there).

Next things to work on this week are

Build the front glass and screen sections for the front of the tank
Figure out how am going to put my rock wall in. I don't want to attach it with silicone if I don't have to because I'd like to be able to take it out easily. Also need to figure out how i'm going to seal it. Wanted to go with Shields All but can only find one place that sells it on the net (pretty sure its the people who make it) and its $25 for a gallon which is way more than I need and almost that much to ship it as well. Not sure if I want to mess with trying to cover the whole thing in silicon either as the rubber look that the silicon will give it kind of turns me off, not to mention trying to smear it all over and get it in the cracks will be a pain. Anyone know of any non toxic sealers that can withstand moisture and humidity?

J I believe your frogs are going to have the perfect home once you finish. The frogs you get to be housed in there will be living the life of luxury. Lol! Very nice setup. Its coming along nicely.

I wanted my background to be removable, so since that meant i wouldn't be siliconing it to the tank i made a couple rocks that i attached to the bottom to support the background from falling forward. Tanks pretty much done just need to get my hinge and will be all set

found a piece of driftwood in my old aquarium stuff




for the time being my stand is an old speaker that i took apart and cut out the front of it to be able to stick my bucket under for the drain. The speaker cover goes back over it to cover it all up.
