Looks awesome so far, can't wait to see it finished. Just remember to measure a bunch of times. Putting on several layers of grout, paint, and sealant can add a lot of bulk to your project. I made that mistake and ended up having to re-make the entire rockwall cuz it wouldn't fit in the tank

 

[westcoastah]

thanks!! yeah i measured it like a thousand times..i gave myself a4inch leave way just to be safe. im done with the first layer of grout. and now letting it dry. heres a update with a pic.

 

[westcoastah]

[westcoastah]

That is cool!
What size tank is that?
And what is that sand stuff is it sand or the exo terra molding sub straight?

 

[westcoastah]

Thanks.it's a40gal breeder. 36"l x18"d x16"h. I'm currently working on a giant sized exo terra looking tank 36"l x36"d x20"h. It's really fine reptisand. With some repticarpet under their water bowl and in their "corner".lol

Looks awesome.

I was just curious. Can you remove the lids of the hides to get the geckos out? Like if you wanted to show some one.. or are they perminantly fixed in?

Are you happy with the grout?

 

[westcoastah]

Right now it is permanent but I am working something to where I can open it if need be ie: a hinge. But I did leave the sides open so I can see them.yeah I live grout.really easy to work with and decent drying time. Can get a but messy at times but well worth it.

It would be SO cool if something like that was for breeders, except it has a built in laying box.
