![]() Inside our Animal Roomwe house over 90 species ranging from chameleons, geckos, skinks, frogs, fish, newts, tarantulas, and beetles. Many of us have desk pets, and many of those desks are wedged into places inbetween the 200+ terrariums, aquariums, paludariums, and other habitats at our facility. The reptile supplies, accessories, and tools we manufacture are first tested at our office on the private collection of animals we house here. As a company made up of reptile hobbyists, we strive to provide the supplies and knowledge needed to successfully care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and other exotic pets to keep them happy and healthy.

But do not break everything at the beginning -))) Small pieces should be kept to finish details of shapes or lines. Do not hesitate to break small pieces, during the setting up, to adapt the rocks to shape. Keep the longer rocks for bridges, the thinner for hiding the weir column. To start with, use the most stable rocks, on 3 points (see page : How to build…) for the base. Protect the rim of the aquarium, and the inside with a blanket or cardboard pieces, during the setting up.ġ7 kg boxes contain mainly big pieces. Make sure that all water tubes and electric connections are in place (so that you won’t have to move them again). Reminder : Use a very horizontally steady aquarium, with clean glass. With the lighting, rocks always seem clearer (in water) do not hesitate to use the darker ones in the low parts, to strengthen the deep effect. Plants : anubias and microsoriums on the rocks, vallisnerias in the sand it seems that these plants are strong enough to resist cichlid fish.
