So far so good but feeding time is still a few hours away. I set it up exactly the same as before and like the 75 gallon it only took a couple minutes for him to head back under the water dish, so I really hope he continues his great eating habbits so I can sell the 75 gallon - $50 with a screen top, I hope it sells fast, lol.
I finally got a nice shot of it all up and running, and I got the UTH back on with no trouble, I turned the thermostat way up and peeled it off while it was hot, and all but one little corner of the glue came off with it so I was able to just stick it to the 40. I use the nice ZooMed ceraminc heat emitters, but I was running a 150W for the 75, so I picked up a smaller 60W for the 40 gallon. The light on the left is a tiny 25W flood light to make the tank look nice since its down on the floor and kinda dark.
Here it is all set up...new center hinged screen top, and new background.
I fixed my corner to look a little better, my Gecko is to the left out of frame.
Those little silver light dome are only $5.44 at Menards and rated to 75W, the bigger one below on Tango's cage is only $6.44 and rated to 250W.
The top left is my Tarantula, I am only using a super tiny 7.5W bulb to enhance viewing without dehydrating my T, the Sand Boa has a 50W spot heat bulb for the hot end. You can see part of my timer behind the 40 gallon, my cords are still a mess though.
