this is how i spent the week end and a few hours through the week. comments welcome. ( does anyone one know if it is possible to add the slide show directly into this post so people dont have to hit a link?)
cheers for comments. yeah very happy with it and temps established now. just have to get the bottom viv sorted with decor and hides and buy a stat for it. When it is running as well thats were i'll have issues with temps as even with the reflective tape i have on alot of heat still transfers to up. i set a empty rub on top of the viv last night with a digital thermometer and it reached proper viv temps. . will then also have to decide what to put in it. no point having a viv big enough for a adult if your not going to use it. LOL

The temps may have only reached so high cos the lamps were on full power. when a dimmer stat is used you may find that there is less heat transfer.
How big are the vivs, we might be able to offer ideas on wot to fill it with...
LOL okay viv are 20"long x 16"deep x 22"high for the two top ones. bottom viv is 43" long x 16"deep x 22" high.
temps have settled a bit as regards to heat of top of viv. have a rub on it now with digi therm reading 89.8F and 81F so working out well there. no need for the £26 i spent on heat mats.
My two 09 royals will of course be moving into the smaller vivs. soi just have to decide what to do with the big one. If any one has any thoughts or if they need to free up some space and want to sent a nice pastel to Ireland on holiday let me know.LOL
