18x18x24 Exo Terra Build Log

XtremeAaron · #1 01-30-2011, 10:59 PM

I decided its time to customize my 18x18x24 Exo Terra, I hate the cookie cutter look. Ive searched all over, and picked different things as i went. I am building a waterfall background, and a false bottom to make the tank about 50/50 land and water. I will update this thread as I go. No pictures of the false bottom yet as I am redoing it to better suit my needs. Ill also update this thread later to include the materials and tools used.

Background: Not finished, just carved and treated with 1 coat of Permastone.

I did pick up a 10g tank to house my anole while I renovate his tank.

More pics and info to come.

How do you like the PermaStone? I'm thinking of using it.

Permastone is great! After tonights coats it looks even better. Its easy to use, hard as concrete, and seems/feels very sturdy.

More pics hopefully tomorrow.

Well this sucks. The Exo Terra Repti Flo 350 i bought has a loud run time on anything but wide open. Any ideas? I didn't design the background for max pressure and the noise is just too much when scaled down.
