I wish I had used cork instead of drylok and foam. It looks incredible. I loooove it. Yes, please stream on yt. One tip, for future reference, would be to soak the dry wood for a couple of days in the bathtub, to get it nice and water logged. I assume using tap water with dechlorinator added would be ok. I imagine it will take it quite a while to fully absorb moisture in the tank. Idk, maybe not. It looks spectacular, fr. Can't wait to see the update. Fuego. That's actually a great pet name. I like Enfuego as a name, pronounced ahn fuego

@MikeTytula 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Problem with soaking the wood is not silicone or spray foam would stick to it if it was wet.

There is still springtails in this build, they help feed the froglets. you can definitely go with no filter foam though.
