I finally finished getting Hercules' tank decorated, so I thought I'd post some pics! Unfortunately the background wasn't as tall as I thought it was so I need to put up some paper or something behind it but I tried to fill in the gap with some plants for now. Apparently Hercules amuses himself by tugging on the plants at the far left and dragging them around the tank.

Hercules is just toooo adorable! I love him!

You've done such a nice job with that tank that I think it should be one of the examples in the "indoor habitat" part of the gallery. You've done an especially nice job of positioning his lights.

The lighting was a happy accident! I had the dome light leftover from before I redid Napoleon's tank, and I decided to buy only one of the other lamps and see if I could make it work, and luckily it did! It barely all fits up there but it worked out in the end. Thank you for the compliments, I will pass them along when I see Hercules on wednesday :)

Looks very nice, Starchick! That's funny how he likes to tug at the plants and drag them around. :D

Jessica, I'd be happy to make one for you, just might take me a little time to remember how I did it!

Very nice! I love how he's standing up on the stairs reaching his neck up to get some air!
