Re: Rooks tank is finally done! PICS

lol the plants are easy to clean with by misting with a spray bottle then just wiping 'em off. the only tricky part about the peat is getting around the plants lol. as for maintience, the plants have to be removed on occasion anyhow in order to keep the roots from intertwining, so at that time the entire tank can be scrubbed, otherwise the just peat needs changed, which is pretty simple, the plants need cleaned, again simple with a spray bottle, and all the easyily removeable things like the slate, rocks, hides, water dish etc.. are all easily removed for cleaning. the work doesnt bother me, the thing my mom and I enjoy about our pets is useing as natural of stuff as we can. my dogs eat Raw, we breed all of Rooks food ourselves etc... is it more upkeep? yup, but it also keeps the creatures healthier and is a lot more fun for us

Re: Rooks tank is finally done! PICS

good setup. I've never thought about using tile. What makes it better than aspen or cedar? I use aspen. Does the tile let the UTH heat through?
