Ma77hew7's Face Forward Rock Relief Build

[JoeG]

Man, that sucks. Sorry it went down like that. When you get to the point of another build, check out my 3 viv build thread where I used Gorilla Glue...which is now 4 months underwater (dirt glued to styrofoam) and solid.

But the flip side is, thanks for taking the time to describe the issues, people often find it hard to do that, but we all learn a lot from bad outcomes too!

I'm sorry things didn't work out, but it is really great that you shared and hopefully we all learned something. You can't just quit, though. Jump back on and give it another go!

Yeah... It was, I'm over it. Me too. I thought I did today. I found a $30 used 40 gal breeder on cl. I was waiting in a parking lot for it tonight... Thinking about the vertical conversion kit I'm ordering from AAA frogs. AAAfrogs 40 Gallon Vertical Conversion Kit I received a phone call from the seller that the tank shattered in route... Needless to say I did not come home w/ the tank, ha ha. What a mess.

Here is the last pic I have before the deconstruct.

Thanks for the kind words Joe!!! I will def check it out for an upcoming build. For sure. I think that we all run in to more problems than we would like to admit . I definitely learned a lot this build, I hope it can help others, lol!

Me too. Thanks, I know I did! I have no intention of quitting. This build is over, so as far as closure w/ the Exo T... I deconstructed it earlier today.

The start


The finish!


Everything I salvaged from it.


I'll try to use the doors for another project. Everything else will be put to use in two shakes of a lambs tail.

I already have started a 20 gal for my daughters Ambystoma mavortium mavortium, (Barred Tiger Salamander), Pie-Pie. I'm sure I'll end up doing a build thread, lol! Thanks!
