well this is my first construction journal so bear with me
all the pics turned out yellowish sorry
heres the tank
the hood
the plexiglass bottom panel with tape and marking for vent holes i made one for the top to
view of the plexiglass with holes in it
close up view
finished product without door sorry for the crappy pic this was the best one out of like 30
close up of the bottom
with the false bottom in and the shore line cut out
piece of wood im gonna use
just put the foam in. This was the first time I used the stuff and I thought it turned out better than I hoped the black thing is a film canister Im gonna use as a flower pot.
covering the great stuff
Done Background
Top of the background
next is the shore
close up of the shore
background with shore
I didnt like seeing under the false bottom or the great stuff so I covered it with electrical tape I know it looks photoshoped but its not
whole thing done
And here are the hinges and latch Im going to be using but im only gonna use 2 hinges
Im pretty happy with how it turned out
I bought some kyto moss spores off of ebay so thats what Ill use for moss and maybe some java moss if its wet enough
now all I need to do is find some mini broms
Im gonna try to keep the plants in this tank small so it looks bigger
Thanks for looking
