Large Exoterra build for RETFs

[tinkgirl77]

Alrighty guys and gals, thanks to my red bull wings last night and tonight, I Finally got some work done. Now imma just be nursing bloody fingers for the next few days lol. Well here goes...


Building the false bottom.

After some tweaking here and there, the final floor plan came to mind... the part that is wrapped in.mesh already with be my "cork tube stream". I did it in my first viv and last night when I was working on all this, I looked over and 2 of my retfs wee chiling in the stream. So I decided to put it into the floorplan bc they enjoy it. Water will trickle down the "stone pools" and into the stream ::hopefully :: this will carry the water to the rock filled wading pool in the front of the tank.


After some thinking, decided to create an access point for my cannister inlet tube and siphon access. I decided against doing a bulkhead bc my hubby and I don't want to be responsible for cracking the tank. Maybe one day. The white pvc has a 2" h x 3" w cut out at the bottom.

Im currently watching some james bond and covering the eggcrates with window screen. Once that is done, tomorrow I plan to place and silicone the supports in place. Please let me know what you guys think! Have a good night! See y'all Soon!
