I'm getting my baby beardie soon and I want to get the tank set up in advance so I can get the temps right. But so far, I can't even get the tank set up. I am so frustrated, I just want to quit
I have a tank that's 24 inches tall, so I need something pretty damn tall in there so she can reach the heat/uvb. I've tried bricks, no go. I have to use so many of them to reach high enough that they get wobbly and unstable, and the weight on the glass scares me. I tried gluing a piece of slate to a flower pot, which I saw somewhere on here... but it's not tall enough and the no nails glue hasn't dried after a few days and it's not sticking.
I've TRIED making something out of styrofoam. I don't have the time, patience or skills for it. I bought everything and so far I've started over 3 times. I just can't get it right and I'm super frustrated with it.
The petstore has some wooden/ceramic decor but everything in the size I need is $50-$80 and I just don't have that kind of extra money after buying the tank, lighting etc.
I need HELP!! I'm supposed to be getting her on August 5th but if I can't get her tank done, I obviously can't get her!!
This is my tank. Not the best pic, but it shows the bricks, which was my last attempt. They're so wobbly, they're on the verge of falling over at the slightest touch
Help, please!
