    Default 120g Vivarium Build (pix)

    Cool. The only reason I asked was because a friend of mine and I were discussing her build. She is adding a drip wall and we were discussing erosion, which she had not planned for. And plans on combatting erosion so that you are not just left with a siliconed tube?

    Ooo, I hadn't thought of that... I guess I will have to see how it goes. Unless anyone else can give us ideas on this subject, I will just have to plan to redo the river if necessary.

    one question?
    Where is the pump and how do you plan on servicing it?

    The pump is on the far side of the tank and will be hidden behind a tree. The tree will be formed out of half round bark panels and will be hollow all the way to the bottom of the tank. I will be able to reach in and disconnect the hose and lift the pump out when it needs servicing. The pump and flow have been tested and it will have no problem with this. I still need to pick up the bark as the two stores I have been to only sold the smaller sizes. Still looking...

    LLLReptile.com has all sorts of sizes for cork. Just in case you switch your search to the internet.


    It is looking very very good. Very impressed so far!

    These are some update shots of the work done so far.

    The cave has been GS'd into place on top of a support I made using a margarine container. It creates a cave under the cave, with no access to the bottom of the top cave. They are self-contained.

    This blob of GS has a balloon inside of it to hold its shape. Since this pic, it has been cut in half at an angle towards the back to create both a planter (where it was formed) and a cave/hiding place on the back wall over the water section.

    Right and left views of the tank as it sits right now.

    Front view of the way the tank sits now.
