    Default Re: New FBT set up

    Heya Jason,

    I think we have the same setup in terms of tank! My original setup was very much like yours but I found the FBT's didn't seem super happy. I'm not saying yours aren't, it was just my basic observation in my set-up.

    I went from this,

    I have a shallow pool area for the FBT's to chillax in and a deeper area for them to swim in. They love it and they're hardly out of the water. If they aren't in the water they're close to it. I found that the tank is great to use for building up towards the rear and you can really maximize the space you use and give more land surface area without subtracting from the aquatic area of the tank.

    I would say most of my tank is now aquatic, including the pool and the various tiered pools on the waterfall which i turned off before I took those pictures.

    I notice you're in Scotland... I have a brand new ExoTerra Pebble waterfall (Small), with pump etc. It was only in my tank a few days before I took it out and replaced it. It was a great little water feature but I wanted to build the tank up more. You can see it in the corner of the first picture i sent.

    If you want, with you living in Scotland, you're welcome to have it, providing you cover the postage. (Should only be about £5 max, if that.)

    This is it;

    Hit me up via PM with an address and I'll pop down to the Post Office tomorrow to check how much postage will be if you want it.

    All the best and can't wait to see what you do with your tank!

    PS,
    I also found pebble moss and carpet moss worked better for me, It took root really quickly and thrived under the full spectrum lights
