Keeping ramp secure

Post by Hermiesguardian » Wed Oct 25, 2017 2:36 pm

I'm going to be making 2 small pools. I have painting trays. I also have plastic canvas. I know I can attach the canvas on top of the ramp using zip ties. But how would I secure the bottom of the ramp?

I use glass craft rocks in the bottom of mine. It weighs the plastic down. I have also used spare shells that my crabs don't care for.

Ok. I did buy some small rocks. Is it ok if the plastic canvas is a color rather than plain white? I don't think it's paint.

Its fine. The colour is 'infused' into the plastic.
