Beautiful! It's amazing how all of that came together so nicely from simple materials. I'm sure it's going to look even better grown in. Great job!

Nievesgirl, mine varnish is local produced, so you'll never find it in your stores. Package says that it is waterbased. Brand will tell you nothing, sorry

I will keep updating shots of the viv & if it will turn white after absorbing water i'll inform

Frankly speaking i'm continuously translating material names from english, searching equivalents localy, than trying to translate back in to english With such a mess, good portion of sense is lost

Sorry I see that your not from here. Thanks for the reply I will keep coming back to your tread for updates. I did google varnish for polymer clay so I will see what other info I find about it.

 

[curlykid]

you actually make a lot of sense, considering you're using google translate. English isn't a hard language at all to learn, although we have a lot of weird rules and words in our language.

Very nice. Did you make the tank yourself? If so, did you follow a guide? How much did it cost to build? I'm looking to build one from scratch and trying to estimate price and a good style to use. I really like the door/vent you have.

That's going to be a great rack setup when you finish it can't wait to see pics

I am about to make my first vertical tank front. I want a vent up top and down low. Please explain how you made the mesh vent in the front of your tank, below the doors.

Thank you

One more is nearly finished. Think it will be for Thumbnails or for O. Pumilio. Will keep you posted in next threads

I've ordered all my tanks from local aquarium builders. I'm from Ukraine so the price won't say you anything. It costed me 70usd per each tank, it's about 20-30% expensive than average by country, but i like that i can dictate what doors i need, what mesh etc.
Door is sliding on simple "E" profile.

The mesh is simply siliconed by strips of glass.
Idea taken from this threat, from upper ventilation

Hey there,

the 4th and 5th pictures look like a thin black tape being used to hold the mesh in place. What is it exactly?

Thanks

Greetings! It's just a simple self-adhesive tape named ORACAL like ORACAL USA. I can't state it's that same brand, but we name whole line of self adhesive tapes - "oracal".

In my option it does not hold anything just covers the glass where i want to hide silicone.

Mesh is hold by strips of glass & the tape just covers:

Hi RNKot, realy nice work , love it.
Do you have any pump in the false bottom or just spray the epiweb?

By the way, we are neighbours, I'm from RO

 

[RNKot]

Thank you. I've got waterfall in my first viv

But now rejected it. 125L tank are too small for water features as for me.
What about Romania, do you have a lot of people fond of PDF in the county?


Just a small update. I still can't find a way to make good shots with my Canon G12

 

[hydrophyte]

That is looking great RNKnot!

Realy nice, love it. Where do you buy the seed shels?
I don't know about Romania, as you can see I live in Spain and here we have a lot of "frickys" into PDF and other weird stuff.
keep un the updates

 

[BlueRidge]

Where can you find the epiweb?

 

[kitcolebay]

Tanks look good! Pictures look great! Very nice setup!

[RNKot]

Where can you find the epiweb?

I bought mine from Dartfrog - Everything for the Amphibian Keeper in America it's called "ecoweb"

 

[Neodoxa]

Love the vines... and mushrooms... and styrofoam work with the tree and background... Heck, I love everything about this setup! Looks great. Well done.
