I bought my little girl a 75 gallon tank for sale that she can move into when she gets a little bigger (she's about 9.5 in now). I'm curious for those of you who may have this size set up, how did you set it up your tank? Like what lighting fixtures, what substrate, etc.

I have a 55 right now, but plan to upgrade to a 75 very soon. The 55 is the same length as a 75, it's just 12" instead of 18" wide. I plan to keep the same lighting, fixtures, etc since the only difference is 6" in width.

Most tiles come in 6" and 12" squares, and I have four 12" squares in there right now. When I upgrade, I plan to take the same tile, cut each square in two, and insert four 6"x12" tiles down the middle. I'll get two more 12" squares and cut them in half to get the 6"x12" tiles.

I have a 160w SB MegaRay in a DeepDome hanging from a ZooMed lamp stand over one end of the tank. I've got two 18" flourescent lights across the rest of the tank, just for additional lighting. I also have a 150w CHE in a dome that comes on as soon as the MegaRay goes off, to keep the viv temps up at night. We don't have heat in Pudge's room, so we have to really watch her nighttime temps this time of year.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
