Lee...I was looking at mounting it on a extra bit of wood and using a tin foil plate and fashioning a heat reflector. Mine still gets warm in top one, I dont use a heat source for my corn. Maintains a temp of around 29*C.
MC...all you new is a drill, saw and a screwdriver... |

cheers daz,i got a i/r lamp in the top viv of my stack and it gets very hot on top and was worried about fitting one in the middle viv as it would heat up the top one,i dont realy have the hieght in mine for hanging fixures so will try just fitting a plate to the roof. |

thanks :) i am seriously considering making a viv just to see how it turns out.... of course then i would have to buy something to put in it lol.
one more question (last one i promise) what sort of power tools do you need to make one? i own no power tools at all :( |

cheers guys im really happy with how it turn out. just need to finish the decor and i will be sorted...
Lee...I ended up using hanging lamp holders and reflectors to cut down on the heat transfer. both ended up cutting it down by about 10*C i think...when i get some spare cash gonna get some different guards aswell. bigger holes to help the heat dissipate rather than build up heating the roof.
MC...I used wooden dowls and glue on the vivs in that build. This was a old office cabinet and i just cut the doors down to make the shelves. for this i used pastic blocks to sit the shelves on. like in you kitchen cabinets. I use ordinary silcon to seal them and use clear varnish on this one aswell to make make them easy to clean and water proof. I leave them to dry for a few days to get rid of any vapors.
As BE said glass from a local glazer. Normally a couple of quid a door. |

You can get glass cut cheaply at your local glaziers. |

serious jealousy here lol.
saw your sticky on building a viv, what do you use to stick all the bits together? glue? do you seal the vivs up with anything(like silicon?) also, do you have the glass specially cut? where do you get it done...
sorry so many questions ^_^ |
