I'm - still - working on my new 75g for my gecko kids. Finally finished with several coats of background paint, I
think I like it, but will have to get the tank more furnished before I really decide.
Was going to use slate as a substrate, but now I'm thinking of ceramic tiles (not the smooth, slick kind, but a textured tile). Would that work the same as slate as far as heat retention? Also, for those who use slate/tile, do you "glue" it down (I'm assuming with a silicone type acquarium cement), or do you just lay the tile/slate down but leave it removable?
I'm trying to take my time on this, as I don't want to just throw it all together and be unhappy with the results, then have to re-do and put the geckos thru another "move", and once it's done, it will be
done and I'm not going to keep "picking" at it.
I've been collecting goodies, like larger plastic containers for humid hides, etc., so hopefully it will all come together soon. The present 55g is on a cabinet in my living room, and the 75g is "in process" on my living room floor....
Thanks for any advice about the tile situation.
