Great looking enclosure.
We have one of those tubs at work housing live rock (marine), do you think the filtration is adequate or would a canister filter be required?
Does the heat lamp work well at that height?

The top baffle filter works a treat. I will get a bigger pond when he gets bigger of course!
600 watts of heaters keep the water temp at 30.c, the spot light is 150 watts whilst the 26 watt 10.0 uvb works well as it is short of its 52cm range.

I keep my salty in an enclosure similar to the glass tank shown. He is way to big for it but strives inside. I had heard crocodiles stress easy in tanks much larger then nessessary, anyone confirm this? For instance a friend set up a bungalo for a crocodile, more or less, massive pool heating and all that good stuff, heaps of room, put in his croc which was the same size as mine and it went off food, went funny aorund people, became shy and thin and started loosing his teeth. He was moved back into his old tank and started coming good again.

I am interested to know exactly what people do wtih the salties in particular when they are fully grown? I guess make a enclosure out doors but what sort of measurements are we talking for a fully grown salty.

I just love crocs but my hubby would freak out if I was to have one, the fact that they grow so big would be of a major problem ,if only there was a dwarf breed of crocs ,am so envious of you guys .......
