 Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 3:23 am Post subject: Need Help With Viv |
 |
|
I am planning on refurbish an old viv that a friend of mine has given me (basically starting it from new it has been that run down). It is 5ft by 2ft by 2ft.
1) It needs a repaint both inside and outside as it looks nasty with all these scratches and scuff marks. What paints/varnishes would be more suitable?, or would a vinyl covering be better?
2) What would be suggested for the flooring, it currently has by the looks of it old kitchen tiles.
3) I am putting my plated in it. Currently it is in a tank with a 5.0 15inch UVB light, a 50watt Sunglow basking spot light and an heat mat. Would I be able to use the same set up?
Thanks in advance Ron
