How to do a topper

Post by empress-trev » Thu Jun 22, 2017 5:26 pm

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but can someone advise me on how to create a "topper"?

If you go back through this topic GB mentioned this to someone else... I added how I did mine which is also previously mentioned.

To attach the tank you would either duct tape it to the existing tank, or use velcro. :) Hope that helps :)

So I guess an admin broke this topic into two different ones... Here's the edited version of my post from the previous topic. Hope this helps ;)

Here's some pics to give you an idea... There's more details in this topic: http://www.hermitcrabassociation.com/ph ... 1#p1034651
