Seeing that breakdown just reminded me of my attempt at a paludarium. Although alot smaller in comparison to the task you've dealt with, I remember the pain of stripping the tank back to plain old glass. You have my respects, soldier

Thank you, I was going to go downstairs to play with the Mist King but I got up

Instead I went and looked for some images of when I had a grand idea for her new home. I have tons of videos but only a couple photos. Here they are in somewhat order.

BTW this is what I built back in 2021
It didn't last a year..

Evelyn Kinevil, she pulled out and destroyed every single plant on the walls. How you ask?

Look it's a bird! NOT

Wow, you put in a lot of work. Wonderful job, shame she is such an adventurer.

Yeah her new setup is just substrate and her bathing and food dishes. Going out today to get some spaghnum moss and acrylic paint for the bottom 10-12”

I found a brick of coco noir I may expand when I rehydrate the spaghnum.

Just got done setting up the radiant heat panel and the Mistking. However I can't get it to kick into on right now. I am taking a break for some more coffee and waiting for my electric mister to charge. Mistking is set to automatically go off now (8am) so maybe I will be surprised with some damp substrate when I go back downstairs.
Priority is to get the tank misted, add the spaghnum/coco noir, set up her bathing and food area and get her in her new home by 1 the latest.

Would like to paint today but I have other non Hippie things to do as well.
