I actually just purchased all kinds of snake stuff today for my first tank setup. I'll try and take some pictures as I put things together to give a nice guide to what I did. There is a thread about setting up a tank, but no pictures are included and it's the "overkill" method - putting money into the thing as opposed to throwing together random stuff.
Once I see how a tank setup does, I might try with a second snake and try the tub method to see how that works.
