this is a great looking viv. can you give me some pointers on setting up a false bottem tank?

Sure! what animals are you planning it for and what size glass tank do you plan to use?

one thing, you will either need a taller tank to hide the false bottom with a signle unit design or a tank with some holes drilled into the bottom...

hi again, i'm starting out with a 10 gallon and one little anole but when my turtles get a little bigger sticky feet (the anole) will inheret their 30 gallon tank. so far all i have ordered is the pump. but i definatly need some pointers on how to build this thing without sacrificing a lot of tank space. I saw this river tank kit on my last cricket run and it looked kind of cool, but i don't think that will leave me a lot of room for plants and branches. and i definatly want that in the tank. (he/she???? loves to climb around)the 10 is my trial and error tank this is my first non-aquatic set up and once i get get it right my turts are moving into a 72 gallon and that will free up my 30 gallon for my lizard. I read the instructions on your site for setting up a false bottom, and i'm wondering if you need a pool at the base of a waterfall or will the water just drain through the botom. that is probably a dumb question, but i tried a waterfall with a pool in a frog tank once and all i ended up with was drowned crickets. also could you suggest any humitity loving plants for me. i don't know much about plants (all my house plants are plastic) and i don't want to put anything in their that will die on me or hurt my lizard, so i'm open for suggestions and i'll appreciate any advice you have for me.
