Yep, one side for males and the other for females. Some of the bigger breeders do this. They move a female to the male side then wait for her to get knocked up then move her back to the female side. We will see how this technique works
I am gonna use 3 foot flourescent with a 15K bulb and with blue led moon lights.
I used galvanized spiral nails to put the treated bottom part together then used treated deck screws to put the rest together. The make them predrilling
I put two layers of fiber glass matting in the seams along with 4 coats of resin. I used 2 coats of resin on the flat sides then coated all of it with 2 heavy coats of sweetwater epoxy
I used a 3" chip brush which is a cheap $1.30 paint brush to put resin and epoxy in seams and foam rollers to put on the flat sides. I did not sand between resin but did sand between resin and epoxy. When you apply the resin you have to be fast as it hardens in around 10-15 minutes. I mixed 16-32 oz at a time depending on what part I was working on. The hardest part is laying the fiber glass matting in the seams. I cut it into 3 inch wide strips but getting it to lay flat when your gloves are sticky was fun especially when time was not on my side
