New interior Structure for viv

[doe222]

So he is starting to outgrow his viv. its just kind of hard to move around and stuff and i planned on redoing his viv anyways.

thats my viv as of today (minus heat rock)
I know how to do it and i know what to use, but i have no idea what to build! i cant think of anything i know i kind of want the ramp setup again because i like offering him various temps/UVB amount(btw im getting a full spectrum 46in arcadia 12% instead of the MVB and 18in in there) i also want to raise up the floor to meet the lip on the bottom of the viv(that will be done with just a maze of 2x4's and a sheet of paneling) than i will lay slate tile down on top of that. i was actually thinking of doing a legit tile flooring on the piece of paneling with glue/grout so than the whole thing pulls out as one piece and nothing gets into cracks. But as of structure wise, i want a ramp and a hide but i have no idea!!!!!!! and a backwall obviously. Please any ideas would help im having builders block even some pics of yours (i looked through a couple through the diy forum but they are hidden)

You should look through the Viv pics only thread stickied in the enclosures section.

You might get a lot of good ideas from seeing other peoples tanks.

I ended up doing a basking platform with wraparound "stairs" that curve slightly, but the steps are large enough that it creates a ramp effect for graduated basking options. I'm not sure what I want to do with the hide/basking thing that I made on the right side, maybe I'll put a piece of driftwood near there if he wants to hang out on the cool side of the viv.

This is only after the first layer of grout, but you get the idea.
