UNCherp Registered: 03/2003 Location: Chapel Hill Posts: 8 I am a college student at the university of North carolina at Chapel Hill, I am studying sports management and marketing. I have kept reptiles since I was six, and currently I have a chacoan white headed tegu	I love how the hexagonal vivariums look, could you tell me some of the specifics on your cage design, what lighting scheme do you use, and how are oyu venilating the cage, it looks like a standard hexagonal glass aquarium, and I have always wondered how to go about venilating one properly without extreme modification	Rating: 5/5

Hey. Yeah, Its just a standard fish aquarium. I didnt have to modify it at all, I just worked around it so to speak. I updated my gallery with more detail about the ventalation and lighting for you. http://ImageEvent.com/audiomaster/40gallonhexagon/ Hope I remembered everything.

I've always wanted a real nice viarium like that, but I assume it's too expensive for me right now.	Rating: 5/5

With the lights, plants, hood, glass lid, misting system, and other supplies, it was about $220.00. Vivarium costs can fluxuate quite a lot depending on how many plants you use and how extravegant they are. I used a few orchids which were pricy, but they are looking good and producing lots of new roots. Lights too can be either dirt cheap or cost you an arm and a leg. Bottom line is, you should be able to setup a nice 10 gallon for a pair of dart frogs for around 40 bucks if you shop around. Good luck with everything! -David *EDIT* It took me about a month (off and on) to finish it.

I set up a little (20gal) low-budget reef a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure it cost me somewhere in the $600 range by the time I finished it. And I've been dumping money into it ever since. Heh, you probably shouldn't have told me because now I'm really going to want to set one up, even though I should wait until I finish school.

No, its not bad at all. Keep in mind though that I did get the tank and stand from a friend for free, so that knocked off about 80 bucks. Cost for vivariums can vary so much its really up to you. I know thats not how it is with reefs, thats for sure. I love how they look and everything but damn, youll end up paying almost 1000 bucks before its even been setup a year. Once a vivarium is up and running, its virtually maintinance free.
