Can I ask what type of branch you are using for you tank? I'm refering to the picture in a few replies above. And also, where do you get it from?

I'm using a root of a small tree (dunno what kind of tree) I found near a pond. I washed it and placed it into the tank. Now, there are a few tiny, translucent mushrooms growing on it. So far, everything is okay. The newts don't eat them so I leave the mushrooms alone.

True, very true. Especially driftwood. LFS prices are crazy for a small piece of wood.

A tank that big should be used for a whole community of salamanders or poison arrow frogs. Or monster fishes. biggrin.gif

In the future, my house will have aquariums for walls. brows.gif

To house salamanders. Nothing is more important than salamanders. They're like Pokemon. I gotta collect them all. rclxm9.gif
I have to start searching for driftwood and branches.

tat is as good as useless ohmy.gif
to be safe, i would suggest u to buy two 4ft x 2inch 6mm glass and silicon it at the front and back.

u can remove the horizontal brace coz it doesn't help much.

since you are keeping strong predatory fish like toman which may grew big, its better to be safe than sorry.

I've a 3ft x 1.5 x 1ft tank with 6mm glass, non-curve tank. Is there any other way to reinforce the tank without using front to back braces? Or without using any braces at all? (the stupid braces prevent big, one-pieced driftwood from being placed into the tank...)

Yup, yup. I guess I didn't join ealier because I didn't know what category my tank fell under. To me, it was a half filled tank with some plants and driftwood. It's good to know it was a riparium.

By the way, this thread is so, so, so, so ~"poison-ing"~ drool.gif
In a good way. smile.gif

Salamander and Newt Group disappeared?

Anyhow, Irene has Paddletail salamanders going for RM 13.80 each. I also spotted an axolotl on the counter. It's going for Rm300+. Cute lil' fella.
