alright alot of q's

first conner, the lip is alittle over 1.5 tall of the ponds. there isnt gonna be deep substrate, basicly just enough for alittle color and to make clean up alittle better and easyer.

second, rudukai the pond (well jus tthe back one) will be upgraded. Its not hard to install them so im not worried about it. the price of this tub was great!!

third, and i think finally, TTTT im actually looking for schnieders now. cuviers is nice(and if i decide to do 2 ill def get one) but they dont look as good full grown or even young. the schnieders just looks great!! do a google search and ull know what i mean.

yeah, mine would be a big playpen made of bricks with a pond dug in the ground... much less expensive. 'pima tank first though! parents are about halfway convinced. they'll probably just get it to shut me up!plus the swimming pool part... lol. we can definitely afford it, as BOTH of them work at high positions in NASA.

much less expensive but no where near as nice lol
current cost is bout 1400 bucks. maybe less. still at least 400 more to go. prob closer to 600 but it depends on the cost of filters and heaters. need cheap canisters if anybody knows were to get them.

Ebay is your friend! I hear the Sunsun's actually have a decent review and reputation...

any updates? something just occurred to me, will there be any fish in the ponds? maybe some arowanas?

if i remember right the ponds are far to small for an aro, and the caiman would make that into lunch
