    Unfortunately water features tend to be the hardest part of builds. They either work great or the mock you and kick your butt.

    I was going to do a built-inwaterfall in the new red eye tank. This has made me rethink that. I think I will probably build some kind of stand alone fountain to help keep the humidity up. That way, if it stops working, I can just pull it back out. The red eyes really seem to ignore the water anyway, the humidity is high enough that their needs are satisfied. The greys enjoy a good swim, so I like giving them that option.

    I have been "Cheating" with my tanks lately. No water features, but I have been exposing parts of the drainage layer to let the water held in there be more exposed to the air and heat to help keep humidity up lol. I am done with water features in my tanks until I practice with them more and find a way to do it that I can succeed at more often than not. lol. Right now I suck at them and have had to just walk away and stick to similar builds....
