10G Tank Rebuild: Build Log with Pics.

[froggsong]

omg, it's 4 am and I'm finally done planting mine.... I'll post pics tomorrow. I wish I could have done some rocks like yours, I think they look wonderful, especially when they are wet...

[alex1976]

LOL. I was up pretty late myself posting the completion. The rocks are really pretty easy to do. I just need a little more artistic talent/lots of practice to make em look better.
I'm very happy overall with how it all came together.

Don't forget to take your pics as you go, we'd all like to see!

alex1976-OMG!!!! Your tank looks fantastic!!! I love the video clip-that was so cool. It seems as though the frogs are loving it!

I just received some ExoTerra Moss and coco fiber stuff from a guy on EBay. The shipping was extremely reasonable and the shipping time was incredibly fast!!! His ID is reptileden (is that any of you out there in this forum?). I cannot afford the almost $5.00 a gallon for gas to run around town looking for stuff. Plus it is stinking hot where I love in SoCal.

Anyway, great viv!!!

Thank you so much for the compliments! I did have a Small Scare though at one point. Thankfully it had a simple solution.

I took your eBay advice and ordered some from seller pictougent. They have 52 100% positive feedback so all should be well I'm thinking. I ended up paying a total of 5.00 for it! Again, awesome tip.

I'll keep the other seller in mind if I'm not happy with what I get from the seller I went with.

Haha, I think I could challenge you on the heat thing! I'm just outside Houston and we stay in the 90's on average this time of year. It's not uncommon to hit over 100 then add in some Houston humidity!!

[janelc]

all right, Alex1976-I have to give it to you on the heat issue! While it is currently 95 where I am at and expected to reach over 100 this weekend, you do have the humidity!!! Yuck!!! I spent 2 weeks in Ohio a few years ago during the summer and there were only two states of being-hot and wet (outside) and cool and wet (inside with AC going full blast!).

How about gas prices? We pay almost $5.00 a gallon here.

Once again, great viv!!!

[alex1976]

I live just outside Houston so it's not too bad. We're sitting around 3.89 to 4.00 depending on what part of town you're in.
However, we did take a trip out to Floores Country Store for a concert and hit 4.21 on the way there so you've definitely got us beat on gas prices.
When did gas become more expensive then milk??? Crazy...

[froggsong]

Your wife sells what?!? lmao...

[alex1976]

that's right!!!

It's like tupperware but for the bedroom.

I have no complaints, to say the least. It not only pays all the bills to allow us both to stay at home but keeps us both very happy.

I'm not going to ask, lol...

So is there really good money in "tupperware sales for the bedroom"?

LMAO

[alex1976]

Very much so. My wife's been doing it full time now for more than four years now and both of us stay home. It pays well enough to pay all our bills (car note, mortgage, utilities, horse stabling, etc.) and for us to live very comfortably.
