You don't want

to find one of these in your aquarium.....
It's really disgusting.



Not going as planned


I decided to make the 110 into a paludarium with around 45 gallons of water and house some crested geckos in the top. I've got my little geckos (which are sooo cute) and I've been working on a 3D background to give the tank a more natural look and help the geckos feel more comfortable. I'm making it out of pink insulation styrofoam as a base, Great Stuff sprayable foam, concrete, and silicon. It has lots of ledges for the geckos, a waterfall, and a tree thing. I'm going to use more silicon to glue some eco-earth dirt to the top part for the geckos, since their skin is soft and easily ripped. I also got my riparium planters and made room to glue them onto my 3D background.

My mom wanted to move the 55 into the wall, so we cut a hole into the wall (a storage area was on the other side) and moved it behind the wall. It turned out great and looks fantastic.
