Not really a new tank, but we did re-do it quite a bit.

After talking to BPElizabeth and a couple others on here about using laminates instead of sand, we decided to go to Home Depot and look at what they had and how much it would cost, since we were already out getting new bulbs. Well... what we came home with was a little bit different...

Exploring the still new to her apartment.


Top down view of her tank. We got 2 - 12x12 inch pieces of unpolished slate and three boxes of approximately 1 sq ft unpolished slate cut into 3x6 inch pieces. It's smooth but rough enough to slowly wear down her nails so we don't have to worry about cutting them and nicking the quick and bleeding.

We used sand we had left to "grout" it and the right side is just a partially covered sandbox area because at night she likes to dig into the sand to sleep sometimes. We spent a grand total of $19 on the tiles, and the ultra fine calci-sand we used to buy is $15 per bag and her tank uses two bags every six months. I think I'm gonna like this...

Thanks everyone!!!
