Ok...cross your fingers that I remember tomorrow morning in my sleepy stuper. I usually feed the fish before work so I'll be down there and hopefully can grab it real quick. Shoot me a text if you want anything else/want to remind me. I leave my house around 7:15-7:25am.

Fishies_in_Philly · 08-22-2012, 03:23 PM

ok, so after giving it a LOT of thought, i think i want to drill my 125 so i can run a sump and hide all the plumbing for the paludarium. my question to you guys is: has anyone ever dilled 3/8" glass before? and what size bulkheads do you recommend i use?

Fishies_in_Philly · 08-23-2012, 05:11 PM

yay! thanks to steve, i have not one, but 2 viquarium setups! now i can build a home for fire bellied toads and something else. and i was wondering what to with those 20 longs i was gonna take down. any suggestions on a critter for tank 2?

**ThinkTank** · 08-23-2012, 06:12 PM

crested geckos? axolotl?

Fishies_in_Philly · 08-23-2012, 06:55 PM

will the gecko use the water section? and i know the second one will, but aren't they hard to find and expensive? i figured most people would just say fire bellied newt.....lol i thought about some species of snake, but it's not gonna have a land section big enough.

**ThinkTank** · 08-23-2012, 07:15 PM

no, I dont think the gecko will use the water except for drinking.

I think axolotl cost around 40-50. Probably have to order online.
