build will be created slowly - show

[Th@t1Guy]

just curious, are you planning on doing a vinegar soak or anything?
and it doesnt look like you have a false bottom, or am i just missing something?

great looking build! keep up the good work!

^ brings up a terrific point.

The reason to use grout besides its usability is that it has much less lime in it that will leech into the tank to negative effects. You can sorta get away with not soaking grout but concrete should always be soaked until it maintains a neutral ph.

Plz if you can tell me more about vinegar soaking for whichever layering cover processes.
Th@1Guy you did not miss anything too good cuz I removed some photos but they weren't important. My idea to build a falsebottom fell through. My plan now is to lay down leca or hydroton balls and window screen mesh between and under then laydown organic soil.

I've read that soaking the crete in a vinegar/water solution for 2-3 weeks with regular water changes will leech out enough of the lime to make it safe. I think there are other ways to do it w/o soaking but idk exactly what they are you can probably find some info if you do a search for it on here.

The hydro-balls will look great too are you planning on putting animals in it? If so what are they?

i personally dont know of a better meathod then soaking in a vinager water mix for upwords of a month

[Th@t1Guy]

well if soaking is not an option I've read that you can brush it on. As long as it stays wet i think it works but idk for sure. I've also heard that if you seal it, it doesn't need to be soaked but idk if i would trust that.

This is the outer view. I see in but they can't stress by being seen.


Inside from left to right angled but will soon become left/bottom and right side the top expanding to 36" width and shorten 30" height.

another bright interior shot.


These green anoles have been green for so long now I want to adjust better quality for them amping up heat, humidity, different warm spots and stuff.


I made a homemade half log hide and copied the magnetic feature of the good product.


This is my hopes for a favorable redu featuring fogger, monsoon a third adjustable heat lamp more height actually from the aquarium having potted plants, drain through bulkhead 1/2" which should hold humidity for the bottom.


29 gallon aquarium I got from a friend that has a 1/2" hole that I hope matches a half inch bulk head from jehmco.com.


I don't think the back should be false rock anymore instead I plan on using a glass wall that is covered with repticarpet and behind it a 25w heat cable I have to keep climbers and ambient air warm. These are all my expectations asap to which I already dread failure but can be just like other before me plus newcomers je je he.

[Castle-vivarium]

I changed the heat cable to a 50w.


The fogger keeps shutting down I guess I have to clean it better and only use the cleanest water.
I couldn't post sooner because I couldn't access the site for days.
