150 gal (tall) tank-'How to' help please

19 years ago

OK, so my fiance's 150 gallon tall fish tank just cracked and is now unuseable for fish so I get to turn it into a terrarium and grow the nepenthes I couln't grow before!

I have no experience w/terrarium building but have done as much research as possible on how to recreate their environment, so I just need info on how to make this tank look as good as possible on a budget because otherwise it doesnt stay.

If any one has pics or suggestions It would be greatly appreciated. I don't have the $$$ to make it super right now, so no orders from places like black jungle unfortunately.

Thanks

please email me at sherryazure@yahoo.com (note garden web in header so I won't delete please). I have been collecting links re terrariums/vivariums so on (and some from vivarium web group, great resource). I will send the email with links. (not updated in a while, but some fantastic sites, some room size!). Best Sherry

My first suggestion would be to take a leisurely perusal of this forum. You'll find quite a bit of information in the all the various posts. Some folks have made their own backgrounds using material like "Great Stuff". [You can do a search on this forum. Just type in some key words in the seach box at the bottom of the page.]

Have fun!
