    Lol! Thanks! I like it. Just need more height for plants. The driftwood piece which I love really takes up a lot of space.
    Also the 65 gallon is on sale right now with lid/lights and stand for $200![emoji106]

    That's a very nice setup. Something to think about is dividers will usually start to leak were the old and new silicone meets. I had one in my FBT tank and it lasted exactly a year, and I have now took it out. I find with out the divider I also have more options to change things around if need be, I have actually heard from some people that its good to change up your tank every once in awhile because FBT like to venture and explore there surroundings. Don't know how much truth there is to that but I found when I changed mine around when the divider went they seemed to enjoy the change. If you go with a water fall just try to make it were when it hits the water that the flow slows down so it doesn't make a big current. I have had a water fall in mine ever since I got my guys a 1 1/2 years ago and they are always hanging around it and they love being in the water. My waterfall is just one one of the same canister filters you have placed in the corner with a flat rock leaned against it for the water to flow down. At the bottom I have a another big square shaped rock that the flowing water hits and then flows out around the sides slowing down the current. I will put up picture of my water fall when I get chance, its very basic and if needed its easy to get at. Oh and I like your idea of putting the smaller tank in the 65 for the land, and that's a pretty good deal for that tank.

    If you get a custom tank I'd imagine it would be better done and less likely to leak than a home-done job. Personally, I'd never attempt to do it myself as I'm **** at DIY lol

    I suppose, yeah there isn't much head space. What's the height on the 65 gal? I'd look for something around 18 inches high, which gives you more opportunity and space after you've included a water section will will take up some height depending on how deep you make it. More space the better and you can simply use a higher % UVB to the distance between the toads and lights.
