Add more clay, and then try to let the water seep out of it by placing it ontop of an old towel, or newpapers strung across a bucket.

Well im going to let it sit over night. The bag was HUGE so im also soaking a batch of plain clay as backup. I figure if the mixed clay doesn't mix right ill make it into a substrate and just add a few other things.

And yes beckdg, i found the litter! I didn't think to check the bags. It was the red bag of special kitty. Who would of thought that they tell you whats in it?

Looks freakin awesome!!!! I am always a bit jealous of high humidity tanks with moss that flourishes, and the "quick" growth rates. Some day I am gonna have to break down and build me a dart tank. Great job man!
