Here is the completed product of my set up

 

[Lycanthropy]

This is Godric's 20L (which he came with - along with the plant - everything else I added). He will be moving up to a larger tank as soon as I can afford one :lol: His previous owner did not feed him well, and his growth was stunted.. but he's already grown so much in the week I've had him! Showing some nice colors too..

Can I just hire you guys to make over my 125 gal tank?

 

[scistar11]

Nice setup for Godric. I love the background too.

Godric sure looks happy in that tank! Man I would get a headache looking at those stripes all day haha. :mrgreen:

a couple of pictures of the viv I made, pretty much copied the ones from customcages.com
all 3/4 melamine, tile substrate, 1/4" sliding glass front.
I made the stand out of 1x3 pine
I just finished the fake rock structure the other night, I had to make it into 2 pieces so it would fit.
I'm also thinking of adding some fake plants around the top of the fake rock structure hanging from the top corner

Larry,

The viv looks great! I love that fake rock you made too. I'm going to be making my first one next week so im hoping it turns out as good as yours.

thanks,
the fake rock stuff is really pretty easy, just time consuming waiting for the grout and glue layers to dry. it's also fairly messy, heh. The painting came out so-so, I'm no Bob Ross :wink: if you don't know who Bob Ross is, you'll just have to ask an old timer :wink:

Wow, that looks awesome!

I love how you painted it! I usually just use a couple shades of spray paint LOL. Did you sponge paint it, or...?

thanks,

I used a light tan color grout to start with, I then used a thick bristled brush and allied a medium brown/red paint as a base coat on the flat areas. I then used a dark brown to for some of the cracks and crevises to give it a textured look, and finished with a white on the edges to give it a worn rock kind of look. it didn't come out too bad for a first try :wink:

all I used was a cheap water based acrylic paint.
