Environmental control questions

I had the same issue. I refuse to drill holes in my 125. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Lol So I just went with hidden tubing. Well, as much hiding as you can do in a 4 sided, viewable tank.
Sponge under the drainage layer
Tubing up and out of the tank.

Valve at the end to prevent the siphon from being broken and I don't have to suck on the hose but the initial time.


Works like a charm.

Excellent pictures. Fortunately my vivarium will only have primary visibility from two adjoining angles. It will be possible to hide the piping. I love the use of the valves. You are selling me on not having a false bottom. The will allow me to easily slope the landscape from the back corner of the vivarium. How thick and extensive is the sponge layer and how often/if any do you need to replace the sponge layer?

I really appreciate the information and pictures. Its VERY motivating.
