Well I got the last of the stuff sold off from the reef tank today. 350lbs of sand dumped in the cornfield behind me..hehe. Its raining so I only rinsed it out for a min. Still need to scrub it out. I can officially start construction on the viv. I plan on removing the overflow box and using the drilled area for a waterfall and sump drain. I might try to feed the fogger up through there too.

Stopped by a green house today and picked up a few plants.

Here's a couple broms I had left from my other build.

They had a big pile of earth stars just rotting. they said they used them for arrangements. They gave me 3 for $1.

I know these get big but couldn't resist. Don't know what its called though.

Lemon butter.

These weren't labeled but I kind of liked them for some reason.

My plant orders from Josh and Jason should be here tomorrow or Wed.
Cant wait to get started.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse- the tank's not even scrubbed out yet and you've got it stocked with plants. A man after my own heart- you're hooked for sure.

Looking forward to this build.

you've definitely got mts.

that last pic... the pot looks bowed out. might be sansiveria (mother in laws tongue). might want to check into that. they don't share space well with other plants.

i am looking forward to this build.

Yea...my fav part is the build. That goes for any tank. I should really get a job setting up exibits for the zoo or something.

Yea, the exo is 24" tall and I am pretty sure the 75gal is about that if not more. Would be like having 3 exo's stacked side by side. Will be alot of fun to work with. I might have to go with regular ugly GS instead of the black pond and stone due to cost. Pond and stone is alittle over $8 a can. That could end up costing me around $100 in the end just in foam. I would rather spend that on a Mistking system.
