Forget the shop vac, do it the was kansasslider showed it. lol

[marleslaura9]

Lol, it's done for now. Baby my yellow belly is doing his dominance dance again, he does it every time I change something! Should I be worried?

[Kansasslider]

Is he doing it to your female?

[marleslaura9]

I don't have a female just the boys x

[Kansasslider]

You realize they might fight.If so you will have to separate them. As small as they are now you should be ok just keep an eye on them.

[cutepanda86]

Or maybe he just likes to strut his stuff. lol He's right though, keep an eye on those guys.

[marleslaura9]

Luckily my tank is in the lounge and I'm only in a 2 bed flat so I'm usually not far away and keeping a beady eye on them lol never had any bites touch wood x

[cutepanda86]

lol nice.

[marleslaura9]

The new basking platform, my little project from yesterday x

[cutepanda86]

Cool! What is it made out of?

[marleslaura9]

It's untreated wood and is supposed to be a shoe rack lol, I know it won't last very long but I'm running out of ideas!

[Kansasslider]

You can use PVC pipe for the frame and attach tile to the top.

[marleslaura9]

Yea I did think about that, I like the look of wood tho, will prob go pvc for the next one lol, am thinking of running a sump sometime soon as I don't like all the heaters and filter tubes in there. Have you heard of anyone else on here doing that? Thoughts?!

[Kansasslider]

There are people with sumps. I don't have one so I will have to let others talk to you about that. You could build a basking platform out of mopani wood but that would be pricy.
