Just a look on my new inside of my ackie cage. For those being afraid the monitor might be dead - no he certainly is not

Awsome cage! What are the dimensions. I like the fake rocks, how did you make them? Thanks,

The smaller ones are real rocks fixed on an extra piece of glass with silicon. The larger rocks connected to the background are made out of Polystyrene and tile adhesive (i have also used gypsum with the same success).
Glad you like it :-)

I've put an description on how to build those background on my website www.acanthurus.org. I am sorry it is in German. For further questions please feel free to to ask or mail.

Is the polystyrene the stuff that you spray out of a can, that looks like foam then hardens up? Then did you just spread the tile adhesive over it? Also, did you make each of those fake rocks one by one and then glue them together or is the whole thing one big structure?
Thanks again,
Chris D.

Hy Chris,

it is not the stuff you can spray. These are plates of polystrene. http://www.acanthurus.org/TerrariumbauTeil3.htm. That's the link to the pictures of polystrene plates on my site. I have made the rocks on by one and then fixed them at the very end with silicon.
If you want a better description I can mail you one. I have just translated one into English (as good as I could :-).
You're right on how to use the tile adhesive.

Please mail if you want to. Would be much easier then to give a pretty long descrition here.

Greetings,
Timo

@ Jilezee

Good idea to post the link. The babelfish translation tool is as good as the one you used. I already prepared and sent the translation to the others who asked for it. The problem is, I am out of town and haven't taken the docs with me. I'll be back home at the beginning of Septembre. If you don't want to wait please ask the people for the translation who asked as soon as I posted the picture. Or use a translation tool. If there are more questions please feel free to ask.

Greeting,

Nakor

What do you use for heat at night?
Nakor
Jul 26, 2003 7:44 AM
Hy Jonathan,

I don't heat at night. The isolation of a polystrene cage is very good. The temperature is something about 21-25 degree. Absolutly no problem.
