This is where you discuss the conditions of your crabitat -- temperature, humidity, substrate, decorating, etc.

Zip ties. The pool is a small paint tray. I zip tie the mesh to the ramp then lay small stones on the bottom. And the tray is doubled for easy removal to clean.

Yep, when I used craft mesh in my pools before, I also used zip ties and attached them to the edge of the pools

So first off, I took the craft mesh, and used a long lighter for the grill to heat it up a little so it stayed bent, then I zip tied mine to my tupperware bowl as well :)

I bent mine so that one end rests on the sub and the other end rests on the bottom of the pool. I had to bend it several times for it to maintain its shape but it works fine.
I also used silicone to affix some tiny shells to the mesh, just to make it look more natural.
