Dry time: a couple of weeks.

I use a paintbrush for the mixture. The sealant (soudal - Fix All) is applied by hand and afterwards put peat on top of it.

I found the sealant. Im assuming your pretty sure its viv safe?

Pardon my ignorance, but is the "soudal" sealant that you used similar to silicone sealant?

It is in the same sort of tube but it is not really a silicone. It is a polymer.

The sealant is viv safe. It is often used in Belgium (or the Netherlands).

The viv has a rainsystem (5 nozzles) and a fogger (Lucky Reptile super fog).
I also have eveninglightning (4 bars of LED light):

and night light (lucky Reptile Night Sky 6x LED lights):

Especially the evening lightning is good for the frogs so they don't suddenly end up in darkness in the evening.

Damn that is definitely sweet. After I get a few more builds under my belt I'm going to plan for a BIG display tank and this lighting scheme is going to be part of the plan.

amazing viv! I love the details you put into it!

I can't wait until I get my own house. I'll definitely build a big Viv like yours!

That LED night lighting is a great idea as well. I might put that in my current vivs.

Absolutely stunning, to say the least -

What did you use for the backboard?

raimeiken · #39 (**permalink**) 09-02-2010, 07:00 PM

what did you use to shape the rest of the tank with? like the left and right sides of the tank.
