    I wish I had found this video 2mo ago. I was looking everywhere for info on conversion kits. I eventually came to the conclusion on my own, that using one where I live, in Alabama, wouldn't be a good idea. I'm gonna do full bioactive and I don't believe there is adequate ventilation. I can see why they're perfect for you in AZ though. Thanks for making this video. This is a very important subject for people on a tight budget, aka everyone.

    I got a zoomed tank and I got it at a great deal 18x18x36! At a local reptile shop. I was going to use the I heart gecko kit but when I saw the deal I got it. If I get more geckos in the future I will use the kit!

      That’s awesome! I always recommend looking for the larger premade tanks at local shops second hand for a good deal!

    Conversion kit it's right what I need to recycle my old 20 gallon tank where I used to have some tropical fish. But unfortunately they don't ship it to Europe... Maybe I need to make one on my own.

    I'm about to order a few of these to convert some 20 gallon longs into vertical tanks for my soon to be breeding pair of crested geckos!

    I am getting into this hobby at the wrong time. Glass has doubled in price. Would have killed for a 18x18x24 for that price. Although, I did get a steal on Black Friday this year. Thanks for the breakdown of the various options.

    I can't find a tank for under about $180, an 18x18x24

    I need some advice I really want to get one of these for my 40 gallon breeder I have frogs they require heat I don’t know how I’m supposed to heat one of these because once I turn it up right it’s going to be glass up there it will be perfect for the humidity but how do I hate this thing I need to at least have the heat around the 80s

      There are tutorials on how to remove that top glass piece and replace it with a screen. I’ve never done it before though

    I've been considering a 20 gallon with conversion kit but I have to add heat during the winter months, how would you suggest I do that with this type of tank. Thanks!

    question, how would you be able to heat them without raising room temp?

    I have a few questions to touch on. What brand of tank did you convert? Are your enclosures bioactive?

    • @CopperStateCresteds
      @CopperStateCresteds  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They’re just the aqueon brand. They are bioactive :)

    Ik the humidity is hard to keep up but I’ve had it pretty well humidified I don’t have a gecko yet but I’ve been wanting one I have an enclosure but it is all screen and it is quite tall which I think will be all right but I see all glass enclosures and I just want to know if it is possible for the gecko to live in because I don’t want a gecko to die on me

    • @CopperStateCresteds
      @CopperStateCresteds  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sadly it cannot. They just won’t hold the level of humidity that these need. You need it humid all night and then a dry out naturally in the day which a screened enclosure cannot offer.

    Do you have a link to a cheap 20-gallon long tank for a crested gecko that I could use the kit on?

    • @kaylee3109
      @kaylee3109 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do not have a link for a “cheap one”. The best bet is to wait for the dollar per gallon sale at petco. You can see if it’s still going on. Otherwise search local sale ads!
