Yep, that’s what I was thinking. I actually have one of these from my old reef tank.

I’m thinking I’m going to do this for my monitor setup I’m planning. It’s going to be 6ft x 4ft x 6ft, I’m thinking of also using something like a Divided 75g became he’s gonna need a lot of space. My only concern is weather or not the plants can keep up with the amount of waste if he poops in...
Got this in the works myself bro, planning on it basically being like a reef tank refugium with a external canister filter. The live plants will do most of the filtration.
Personally I’ve never had a plant related issue, except for the time my boy Dank snatch half a cigarette out of my mouth. Though he was going to get sick from what I read, but he showed no reaction. Probably got a free deworming out of it to 😂
He’s really starting to color up and I have decided I’m definitely keeping him😜 so I guess he needs a name, any ideas 💡
