Oh yeah. For the tree limb. I agree with Merlin. Make it removeable. If you can, find a nice thick piece of slate and attach it to that. Then pile a few more on top to help stabilize. You'll regret it later if you fasten it down.

Re: New Enclosure Pics...rock Wall and Waterfall

Ugh, pumps are a PAIN! The problem is most aquarium pumps don't tell you head heights because they assume it's just for pumping water horizontally. I had to go through 4 pumps before finding one to use on my drip system. However, check into Pond Pumps. I just hooked one up last night to drain my WD's aquarium. I only had a head height of about 2 feet, but it was pouring fast. You'll lose GPH the higher you go, so if you want an impressive waterfall from 6 feet, you'll need a big big pump.

My thought exactly. Check out places that deal in water gardens and koi ponds. They have some pretty powerful ones.

Sorry, forgot about that. One male water dragon initially and a few females in the future.


Hey, thanks for all the good advice. Glad everyone likes it.

Re: New Enclosure Pics - Rock Wall + Waterfall

Maybe also check out your local landscaper. They have pumps for backyard ponds...depending on how much horsepower you want and how many gallons you will be pumping...just a thought. Where did you get your "tree"? Need to look for something like that for my own viv.
