so today i started to make 2 new enclosures. this one is for my new female Singapore Blue that is coming on Tuesday from ken! i cant wait. i pretty much followed robc tutorials. thanks Rob once again for your awesome videos! i did some stuff differently. i used that spray foam for the background. the tree is actually 2 pvc pieces glued together. i found those clips at this local place called science in surplus. here is there site http://www.sciplus.com/.

i still need to touch up a few things, also might add in a plant.






i will post pics when the lady arrives!

Cool! I love the PVC idea. I take it you did it pretty much the same way as the background using the "robc method".

yeah the only thing i did diff. Was that i used that spray on foam for like windows, etc. i cut out a piece of cardboard that fit in the tank to use as a guide. then i just wraped wax paper around the cardboard, sprayed on the foam, peeled it off and shaved it until it fit snug.

The Singapore Blue that i purchased said 3+ But for my other tank, my 4in female P.Irminia is going in. these tanks are 5.5 gallon. it might be a little to big for the Blue. but i have read they grow quit fast.

there is 2 types of foam a latex and thinner base, I would say the later may give off fumes, just a guess
