Hey guys, I just have a few questions. I'm thinking about redoing my blackneck's tank, and I was wondering if cypress mulch would make a good substrate. I'm using aspen right now, but I want something that looks a bit more natural. Also, is ZooMed Excavator a good idea? I was thinking about using it as a backdrop, among other things.
I'm planning to put Excavator along the back and sides, then fit some limestone bricks in a corner with a limestone slab on top (As a natural-looking hide). From there I would make a few tunnels in the Excavator, lay some Ash Juniper (native to Central Texas) branches along the back/sides, and wait for the Excavator to dry. Then I would fill in the bottom with cypress mulch and add a water dish.
