Land Tanks
« on: December 31, 2006, 07:03:03 PM »
Hello, I don't know if this is discussed somewhere else but I just found a great new way to make exibits.Land animals in tanks. you create a tank then replace a small section with fence and a staff gate, And then paint the biome(s) and create a sort of animal canyon.(I did a TRF with 4-5 species and it worked great.) I got the Idea from the monkey "Canyon" at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.

i have seen people put land animals in tanks like that before. there are a lot of them in the show and tell threads, they look really cool. i'm sure that yours look good too! (at least better than mine!)

I do that all the time. Instead of having one section of regular fence though, I'll usually have three, both on the inner and outer wall. This way I can connect the viewing areas by putting the elevated path over the fence and into the next guest/exhibit area.

I always do that because it makes the exhibits more seeable inside and if you want to make a indoor exhibit it would be nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use tanks walls to make animal house. The glass is great, you always feel so much closer to your animals; no bars in the way.

Oh, and Stripedwolf, welcome to the forum!

no otherwise this would be in the S&T thread along with some other pics, anyway i did a whole zoo like this and it wouldn't let me save it. it said i couldn't save because it was a read only.
