I found some plans online for a viv and i when ahead and bought all the stuff for it. Its 2' wide 4' foot long 18" high. It was very easy to build, I still have to think of a way to hang the UVB light. Here is the like to the place for the plans:http://www.timelessspirit.com/enclosure.html

What are some things I could put in there for him so it nice? I thought I read on here that I can use fake plants for a craft store, if I am wrong tell me. His color has been SO bright since I have moved him into this new tank.
I am play with the idea of getting a Mega-Ray MVB but I am not sure how to hang it so its 18" away from him. My temps are spot on, 105*f RIGHT under the light, more like 100*f in the corner of the viv, and about 70*f on the cool side.

Here's a picture of it.

P.S if this post is in the wrong spot,please move it.

It's true that with a 100 watt MVB, you need a minimum distance of 12". I noticed that your cool side is only 70 degrees so you might want to think about getting a clamp lamp and putting a 25 watt bulb on the cool side. That would help raise the temp there a little & will also bright it up on that side.

You could go to a dollar store and pick up some silk vines, they come in all shapes & colors. Also get a bag of plastic/rubber suction cups to hang them. They really make a difference in the decoration of the viv. There are also fake cacti that look nice too.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
