The lower Tank ..

Below is a stem with pots I make it before years for the aquarium .. i have I will Re use it again ..

The lower tank will be for my blue tongue skinks .. which I purchased and in thr temporary aquarium until I finish thier home ..
The idea of this vivarium will be low ground forest inpired and with small waterfall for drinking ..
Here I use the aquarium roots .. I purchase it from Ebay .co.uk Please click here ..
Also .. I used a pots that used in my very old paludarium ..
Also some part of the vivarium will be raise up for basking ..

The items purchased from E bay above and recieved ..

The Hydrostone deployed on the liner as abase ..

The small waterfall and the flexible pipe for discharge , Also the wire will be through sleeve ( Pipe) for better maintenance ( replacement ) Also I will use small aquarium pump .. with strainer ..

You can add more natural looking to the vivarium by add bare root plants , dead plants and loose leaves on the ground ..

Sliding windows : I used acrylic clear sheet as window for it 's flexibality as plastic instead of glass .. two sliding rail needed one in the top and other one in the bottom .. you can hide it by add piece of wood shorter than the external one ..
There is several choices like aluminium or plastic - it seems to me that the plastic one is better ..

Final pictures of work ..

The upper rail can be hideen by cement and brown color ..
