Hey guys. So im building a 6 foot long viv with malamine board. Solid top bottom and sides. Glass sliding doors and mdf board on back. My question now is what should i use to support the middle of the viv? Being as long as it is it has a slight bow to it. First thought was 2x4s but thatll take up a bit of room and probably needs to be sealed (rather not seal anything) and i dont want to have a middle bar right in the center of the viv as it would throw the look off. What would you do? Thanks guys youve been lots of help!

Maybe an L bracket of some kind (or multiples) along the back to help support the top?

Good idea. Ill put a strip of melamine on the front and backtop that way i can screw some brackets in. Thanks a lot i think that might work perfectly.

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
