New member, and I've been reading up on all things Leo related for a good bit now. Just have a few questions, before I order up our first gecko. The tank looks a little sparse, I'd like to add some more fake plants later, as well as a background, but before I do I wanted to make sure this setup will suffice. Just want to make sure I covered all my basis before ordering up our first Leo.
Nat geo tank
Warm hide left
Humid hide center
Cool hide right
Water dish
Calcium dish
UTH with hydrofarm set to 92
Humidity/temp gauge
LED day night light. (non heating as its led)
I tiled the tank with ceramic tiles, but instead of grouting them in I used aquarium sealant to fill in the gaps. Hope that is ok? Figured it would make cleanup a breeze, and I didn't have to worry about sealing the grout lines.
Its steady holding temp at the hotspot under the hide at 92, but I can set it higher or lower if need be. Currently using a small zoo med uth, but it seems too small. I have a med size one I can replace it with that would cover aprox half the tank. Switch em out, or just leave the small?
SO is there anything I'm missing or that should be adjusted? If I increase the UTH size, the humid hide would then partially sit on top of the uth. Any problems with that? I've read conflicting ideas on the humid hide which is why I ask. Some say keep it cool, some keep it warm? Confusion?
Any critique would be greatly appreciated. Want everything perfect for our Leo when he/she gets here.
