hi everyone, im planning on redoing both my tanks with tile and i have a few questions.
i am unfarmiliar with the process of floating/grouting and i was wondering if its worth doing that in my cages. i know it would look alot nicer than if i just layed the tiles in there, i just dont know if i'd be getting into something too difficult.
i have a whole box of 6x6" tiles. my brother in law has a tile saw so i can cut them to shape. i was thinking about laying them turned at a 45 degree angle, (x) instead of(+)... it means i would have to make alot of diagonal cuts to fill in the "triangles" around the perimeter of the tank.
if i did all that i would do it right a put spacers in between and grout/seal. i know that is alot of work but i dont look at it that way. if it is logisticly impossible to grout i guess ill just lay them in there like ive been doing. if anyone could give me tips on tiling my terrarium with 6x6" tiles i would appreciate it.
P.S. thank you alex for creating this new forum. just yesterday, i was sorting through the enclosures section trying to find well done projects that i could emulate. this outta do the trick :wink: .
