Did not take any pics today but here is a few enclosure and aquarium pics.

All of these enclosures look amazing, thanks for sharing. Is the long light above the aquarium a Beamswork light? I just bought one for my dart frogs (it just arrived yesterday) and so far it works great.

Yes it is. I like it. It's bright without being too bright like some LEDs can be.
I have had it for over a year, maybe close to two, and I've never had any problems with it. Even dropped it on the floor and everything seems fine.

Edit: bought august 5 2019

Some fish in the south amarican tank.

Couple of older pics. But new news. Ruby is getting a new habitat. Moving her to a 36"x18"x36" (90x45x90cm) exoterra habitat. I'm going to make and edit a video on it.

I am not sure if I am allowed to post the video or a link but if I can I will. If not I'll post pics of the finished project.

All amazing and unbelievably pristine are the aquariums. What size (gallon capacity) are the filters in them. I always thought you needed to double the filtration efficiency in relation to the gallon size? True or no? Ruby is so cool.

Sure, be my guest! (Assuming it's within our guidelines- see https://ball-pythons.net/forums/faq.php)

On the $125 gallon I have a marineland 450 pro which says it is good up to 90 gallons as well as an internal filter that also says 40-120 gallons. Though honestly I feel like the 450 pro could do more than the 90 gallons itself while the other I would question over 55gal.

To me I'll look at the gallons per hour more than the capacity for estimating what it can do. That with the amount of media that is in contact with the moving water.

In my two 90 gallon aquariums I have two of the 40-120 gallon internal filters.

In my opinion it also depends on the type of fish that the filter is needing to service. A large sponge filter can take up the ammonia and do the cycle process as easily as any other filter but the more messy your fish are the more water flow you will need to compensate for the debris. For example if you have a planted aquarium with guppies you really don't need a high water turnover but if you have a cichlid tank or goldfish tank like mine I would recommend 3-5x water turn over per hour min.

Pics from the rack tonight. Everyone has digested and out and about again.
Here are a few favorites.
Cleo my first and around 900g at last check.


My bamboo girl. (She got skinny as a hatchling and is still a little under weight but 100% better than she was!)


Banana black pastel #2 (I still feel he has something else in him but I won't know until I breed him. I know he looks different than my other identity genetic male.)

My other leopard gecko. Tangerine I think.
