Hi all,
How's everyone. Enough small talk.
I have started revamping a pretty rundown tank that I got from a pet supplier store. These few photos is how I got it. At this point, all the blue paint has been scraped off, and the tank has been cleaned. I have also removed the glass separating the drain from the tank (picture 2), and used it to cover the drain hole (picture 3), using GE SCS1200 Specialty Silicone.
I will build a typical foam/Silicone II/Substrate backdrop, as it's the technique that I know best, and I do not want to test drive another technique on this tank... I'm goal oriented with this one, and want to make sure the end product is stellar (no pressure on myself). So no coark/clay backdrop. I'll try that on the second 29 gallon we have in stock.
Sara suggested a waterfall in the 50 gallon tank, and I like the idea. So we got three different Circulation Pumps, the ReptiFlo 200, 250 and 350 (one will work, right?) Questions:
1. Has anyone built one in a tank that will have a drainage layer.
2. Do you have a thread I can read?
3. Better yet, as I can't follow instructions, is there pictures I can see? Yes, I like images.
I'll post more pictures along the way. We have a nice design for this one, with nice pieces of wood, and great plants in mind, and a small pond area... It will end up being for my terribs once they need to be transferred from the 29 g to a bigger enclosure.
Thanks, and here goes another one...
Eric
