Great looking monitor
Give it more room to get out of the water.

Needs more hides. Some near the basking spot some near the ambient and some just around.

Looks great though
What's it eating ?

I love seeing when keepers take the time and effort to simulate animals' natural environments. As others have said maybe a couple more hiding spots and dry areas for the Mertens, but otherwise well done. Great setup.

ok no worries thanks guys

 

[monitordude]

looks great
how much did that setup set you back if you dont mind me asking?

 

[trigs_86]

thanks mate about a 1000 for every thing

 

[maxPOWERS]

cleaning that thing must be a pain though!!!!!
great setup though

I've found the cleaning and maintenance, little to nothing.
A nice big canister filter with the right media and a gravel filter every few weeks with a once a month water change is it.

thats it not too hard to clean mate
