its good you got rid of the sand. paper towells can shift around with big dragons. try pinning them down with heavy tank decor, particularly around the corners/edges. be sure to wash any tank decor he poops on as well.
about tile: make sure it has a TEXTURE. rub your finger across the material in question; does it feel smooth like plastic or gritty like fine sand paper?
i use both ceramic and natural stone tiles in my vivs, but i prefer the natural ones. natural stone has somewhat of an absorbancy. the stone doesnt absorb the smell of the poo, it just holds the stuff in place untill you can clean it up. the liquid part of the dragons poo doesnt migrate across slate as much as it does on a ceramic tile.
have you checked out the DIY section of the forums? lots of good ideas in there. if you want i could post some pics of my own tiled vivs.
