Just wondering what people prefer to use as a polyurethane on there wood enclosures? I intended to use Deft Semi-gloss or Minwax Semi-gloss, in multiple coats. What have you used, and how well has it held up to the moisture and UV over the years? Any yellowing? Thanks in advance.
This sounds close to what I had intended, but on a larger scale. As in 1/3 to 1/2 of the width of the cage to present a more natural "rain" like environment. Given the amount of water this could potentially take, this was one of the main reasons for wanting to filter and recirculate. I've since...
My first thought is egg crate with either screen or a large piece of crochet canvas over that, to reduce the size of the crate holes. Under that you could use a cheap wash basin, sterilite container, etc. as a catch. Make it either removable, or add a bulkhead for easy drainage, although...
LOL, knowledge.....I usually know just enough to do maximum damage :P. While looking for pinholes, I'll miss the crater 6" from my nose!
One of the thing I've always hated about RO units is the "waste" they create doesn't come close to the usable water created. I believe what I will do is set...
Given the omnivorous diet of chameleons, if the catch bin were to contain "X" goldfish, say comets, it is very likely that the chameleon waste would become part of there diet. A few snails, say, Malaysian trumpet snails, would offer further cleanup of wastes. Add in a UV sterilizer for good...
Thank you! I hadn't even considered the "waste composition" of the diet, although, would this not be equivalent to a freshwater system where insects are part of the diet?
Also the waste output was one of the considerations when I was thinking of goldfish to cycle the system.....carp are NASTY :P
I would like to state that I am new to Cham's, and definitely want the one I get to be in the best possible environment. I am ALSO not trying to argue, just trying to understand what the best approach would be for my situation. : )
As I see it, having a good PH balanced water supply that does...
Well, the thought was to have the system set up, running, and cycled well before the animal was introduced. A equally messy fish or two would be used to cycle and establish the bacteria bed within the filter system itself, and removed after the animal was introduced. The collection bin would be...
What is the general consensus about recycling the water collected from misting? I'm currently in the planning phases of making an enclosure for a Jackson's and am toying with the idea of having a filter in the drainage collection bin to allow the nitrification process to clean the water. Is...
