The ventilation holes beneath the sliding windows were filled with pieces of filtering foam - or totally open...
I replaced these with a piece of curtain hemming (if that is the English word):
I also did a check on all possible holes and gaps, kitting them in order to get the tank Gecko proof (I thought I did this when I built it, but made things extra sure now)
I removed the Gardena drips, that were no success in my tank, and placed new lids. Quite a job to do as my arms are nowhere near as long as needed...
Above the left hand side:
A few months ago I purchased a Boneco humidifier as a fog machine. I now placed a 50mm tube and 6 outlets. The tube is not visible, as it is hung just beneath the lids. I painted it white for light reflection. I love the fog effect!
Moving a tree and a liana a bit, to make place:
Working now!
I also worked on the lights and the time clocks, to save some energy without loosing strong light for healthy plant growth.
And the view while sitting on my lazy chair, including fog and panorama distortion:
I joined to say that this build is awesome and I appreciate you posting so many pics of your progress!! This Vivarium goes into a list of "greatest home vivarium of all time".... at least my list it does.
I have had the pleasure of visiting this gorgeous tank, and I can vouch it looks even better 'face to face'. Even with Wim's impressive skills as a photographer.
Plze Wim, post more pictures?
