Thanx Haaris! Much appreciated. I sent you a message on Patreon the other day. Hope everything is OK. I saw some crazy weather reports in Dubai.

[@Joshua-zv1ux]

Your diy projects are awesome

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you, that is very much appreciated!

[@michaelsturgill666]

I've watched a lot of different video's on vivarium and paludarium building on here. Your videos go into greater detail, more educational, and entertaining to watch. Looking forward to the next video in this series. I'm planning on building a huge vivarium/paludarium for a male and female basilisk lizards. It's going to be between 8 and 12 ft long 4 ft wide and 6 to 7 ft tall. I haven't decided yet.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you! And your upcoming build sounds amazing and a fun one to do! I'm glad you enjoy my content. I'll have an easy DIY 36x18x18 paludarium video dropping this Sunday! 🤘💯🤘

[@JvWet]

Thank you, again a very interesting videos with a lot of good advice.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

Thank you, looking forward tonshowing you what comes next!

[@TreeMonitorTraining]

Watching you work makes me wonder what the hell I've been doing all my life.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

🤣🤣🤣, I'm just out here enjoying the process 🤘💯🤘

[@TreeMonitorTraining]

@@bradsbioactivebuilds Your builds are amazing and full of great ideas. I have your custom fans in my tree monitor enclosure and I modeled half of my Ackies starter enclosure from your build. I don't intend to ever attempt 90% of the stuff I see you building here, but man, is it great to watch you build all this crazy shit.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

@TreeMonitorTraining that's what up! The fans add so much benefit to the enclosure. I'm glad you have them in there. The ackie build was a fun one. Your support is appreciated 🤘 💯 🤘 and keep having fun building!

[@Aaron-ne4kr]

Hey Brad, unrelated to this video but your other builds--what do you use to paint the exterior of your vivariums? Do you use a primer? I couldn't find anything in the product lists you usually post. Enjoying your content and will be starting on my own build soon!

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

I'm glad you enjoy my content! What did you build the enclosure out of, PVC or Wood?

[@Aaron-ne4kr]

​@@bradsbioactivebuildsso sorry I'm just seeing this now. I'm working with 0.5" PVC board.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

@Aaron-ne4kr yes, I use a primer that's made for pvc I got at Sherman Williams and also a latex acrylic paint for the black

[@user-dz1ki2di3h]

Do they defecate in the water? I have about a 20 gallon heated tub in my Savannah monitors enclosure but the filtration is not strong enough to pull any of her excrement down. Trying to understand if one of these filters would work better than the canister I have.

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

@user-dz1ki2di3h my mertens will defecate in the water from time to time. But mostly on land. There will be about 300 gallons of water in this set up so that in itself will help. If I were you you could use one of these and will filter the water quite well and it has an easy clean system un it.

Real 1

[@jeffbryant9287]

Alright, we're all thinking it, I'll say it! Lol. We all want to see you do a colab with @UaruJoey the @KingofDIY where he does the water portion, with a glass window, sump filtered, with hundreds, if not thousands of gallons of water and you do the above water portion. Amazon maybe, with schools of fish and reptile inhabitants!

[@jeffbryant9287]

@thekingofdiy

[@bradsbioactivebuilds]

@jeffbryant9287 that sounds like a fun colab and an amazing project to do! The future has endless possibilities with future content! 🤘💯🤘
