    Default R. Ventrimaculatus - 18x18x24 Build Journal

    That is such awesome news about the vent! I am so happy for you. It just goes to show how tough they are, despite their diminutive size.

    Oh, and the build looks good lol

    Here's to hoping that this is vent #3 returned home and not Vent #2.

    I am now leaning towards this being a 3rd escape. I found a hole in the back of the tank top just big enough for them to squeeze through. I plugged it up tonight. At least 2 of them are safe!

    It's been a busy 5th of July for the new Vent tank.

    I spent the first bit of the morning siliconing in some stones around the pond opening. I did this to help prevent some of the soil from falling down into the water and to add a little more color to the tank.



    I then set out to add some more detail to the back ground. It is hard to tell in these pictures, but I thought I would share it anyways.






    I then took the tank out to the garage and painted the sides, back, and a part of the front black. I only took a picture of the front because... well the other sides are just black (except of the side with the pump in it. I left a small spot to see the pump and filter.



    I think that wraps this up till the order arrives the coming week.

    Few more update photos.

    I cut some Manzanita branches and placed them in the tank to mimic small trees.








    I cut a filter and wrapped it around the pump. The pump will supply water to the waterfall and filter the water. I did not get a picture of this.

    Aquatic soil and Water added to the tank.



    And Leaves added to the water.



    Top temp put in place to check for escape routes for the Vents. I will have to use some sphagnum to fill in game along the top to keep them from getting in behind the walls. Using the exo terra to will help prevent them from escaping through the lid hopefully.
