Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 2:55 pm Post subject: A new project of mine. |
|
|
After waiting more than a year with this project it is finally getting somewhere.
I couldn't start earlier because of a hernia operation.
The vivarium is for 1.1 or 1.2 Tribolonotus gracilis which live in a curverbox right now. The vivarium is 90x50x50 cm.
Here some picture's of the old design and some picture's of the new design. I'm not finished of course and will post picture's when I'm a little bit further with the build.
old design.
Building the water-tank.
Current building status.
And my second project. This is only temporary. When it is time to decorate the big terrarium I will also redecorate this one. And this one is also for 1.1 Tribolonotus gracilis.
Today I've painted the light box for on top of the vivarium. _________________ Proud owner of

So, it was a busy day for me today.
I've done a lot of work on the new vivariums. I've completed the light box on top of the vivarium. I also installed my spraying system (only damage was a big tear in the top glass plate )
I will place some picture's tomorrow when I'm gonna put all the wire's in the vivarium and epiweb on the back. _________________ Proud owner of

So, here are finally the picture's of Sunday and Monday.
Ive made a lot of progress in the vivariums, the small one is almost finished
Building the light-box
Installing the lights
Placing the tubes for wires and epiweb on the backside
Testing the fog-machine etc.
Fog machine during the night
And my small vivarium, this one is almost finished I'm only waiting for some special plants to arrive.
Now I have to wait till my order arrives so I can build further. but that can take a while... _________________ Proud owner of

that blows mate
The vivs are looking top notch mate, how's the epiweb to work with? I have to try it at some point but it's real pricey  _________________ Paul

This is the first time I'm trying it so it is a bit of a gamble for me . I redecorated the small vivarium again today because the waterline was to high so everything was soaked....
I hope i can fix my vivarium because there is for almost 100 euros on epiweb in that vivarium and more for the water bowl etc.... en a new vivarium i just can't afford right now.
I will place picture's tomorrow of the small vivarium.. _________________ Proud owner of
