New tank set up

@ Jeff: Wow!! nice set up!! Now where can I get the PVC?

My pvc sheet is scraps from a friend. I have seen it on Amazon and you should be able to get pcs from local plastic companies. Like USPlastics, etc.

Here are a few of my first divider tank in use with my pixies.

gtr319: We just finished removing our custom 10 gallon tank dividers a couple of weeks ago. They are black plexiglass that was cut to specs by a local glass shop and require only a little aquarium sealant to hold them in place. This is an example of how we did it. PM me if interested in purchasing the used plexiglass.

@ Jeff K: Thanks for the offer, but to save the trouble for you (and $ for me^^) I can probably make a quick trip to the local OSH to get a piece if in fact I do need one. But I do like the black film that you have on your tank, I need it for my leo gecko. And I to plan carefully because right now I have an empty tank... I am eyeing on the pyxie or the crested gecko... I heard that the pyxie frog are really entertaining to watch when it comes to feeding, is that true??? How are they different VS the pacmans??

Yep, temp set up. Should be good for several months. Then they will have to be moved to larger tanks. That is why I just kinda tack the divider. I don't want too much work to scrap off the silicone.

Black film: I use the black contact paper from Home Depot. It has slight leather texture on the front side, but that does not matter. Just make sure to 'burnish' it down well so that it looks nice. I have used it on the backs of other tanks. You can see it in my 'fun food' album on the 5 gal hissing roaches.

can I just use the black poster papers from Michael's or doesn't matter?? reason being is that I want to cover every tank that I have since my whites tree frog is focusing more on the gecko tank because she thinks the gecko is her meal and I don't want that....

Doesn't matter. If you are just using it as a visual screen, anything works. I use white poster board between tanks.
