TWOLITREmedia's 75g BowFront Reef!

Excellent! Now consider this though for crested geckos....the only requirements they have other then a decently warm climate (around 75-80) they need humidity so creating a tank with lots of ventilation will cause you to need to spray down the tank more often. The option around this is often a "repti-fogger" which is basically a humidifier for your geckos

 

That's true. I'll make sure not to have too much ventilation in the habitat. How much ventilation should I have in the habitat?

Also, I've heard that some people mod these :

Honestly the less ventilation the easier it will be to keep it humid in there. You need to maintain 70%-85% humidity. I have 3 creted geckos in one exo terra 18x18x24 tank with a screen top and it's great! You can usually pick something like that up used for $80 if you decided to go the glass route. Good luck, keep me informed!

 

Thanks for the info! I also kinda want to build my own enclosure, but I'll keep an eye out I'll also be taking pics of the expo.

I'll let you know how everything goes

 

I totally think you should go for it, just letting you know the alternatives I'm sure you'll do fine!

 

Thanks for the help! I'll probably start a thread for it so you can see the progress

 

Ok so this photo is totally garbage and does not do this Yuma/Ric justice at all but its AWESOME! As a bonus also, there is five babies on the rock it came with also The center in the day is bright orange, and the outside is a bright teal....super pumped to watch this baby grow...and it's babies...grow. Hahaha

On a side note, I did some testing today and much to my surprise almost nothing changed! I over dosed a tad on ALK and my mag is being consumed a bit which seems normal for all the adds that I have put in in the last two weeks (about six large pieces and three frags) Here were the results...nitrates and phosphates almost totally gone

Calc - 539
Mag 1300
Alk - 160
Nitrate - 10ppm
nitrite - 0
ammonia - .06
phosphate - .04

I will take a full run of updated photos in the day tomorrow with the lights on and everyone awake!

 

So I realized I hadn't done a full update of the coral in the tank since a month or so ago. There has been tons of new stuff added, and moved around. I realized again though that I forgot to take a full shot standing back so I will make sure I do this tomorrow. Enjoy! (Nano tank has been cycling for 7 days now, should be good in another two weeks to start adding a couple of pieces of coral frags or a fish or two)

Here we go...

Neon Green Birdsnest got moved out of the flow a bit and the polyps went crazy!

I swear this brain has already gotten signifigantly larger since I purchased it....tried isolated feeding the other day and it didn't open up. I am going to try to feed it a little cube of shrimp tomorrow, instead of mysis shrimp.

Slightly out of focus shot of the frogspawn. Rubbed a rock against the one head about two weeks ago and it looks like it's healed up nicely

So I moved this torch coral about a week ago behind a wall that gets direct flow on the other size and now it looks gigantic and flows so nice and gently back and forth! Crazy what a small change in position will do for these corals

Red monti, can't wait for this piece to fill out!

That's all for now, full tank photo tomorrow...it's filling in great! Going through a very minor diatom bloom so I am going to do an extra 5 gallons on my water changes for the next two times I think to clean that up. Hope you guys like the photos!

 

Tank is looking great! Congrats on getting it up and running successfully.

 

Looking great!
