I don’t know if you are anything like me, but after a couple tank builds I have two boxes of leftover materials. Today’s stretch of letter X is for eXtra Materials.
eXtra Materials
In my boxes of leftover materials, I have everything from eggcrate & screen to wood & pre-made great stuff pieces covered in silicone and bark. These are pieces that I never used or didn’t have room for in my tanks once completed. This makes planning for the next tank quite easy.
DIY Terrarium Tank used all existing materials
On my split tank, I bought barely anything for the tank. My uncle gave me the tank, hood & light for my birthday and most materials I found in my box of stuff.
It sucks knowing that you have over bought a bunch of materials, but it is better than running out. I think that the eXtra materials help to tie the tanks together by utilizing similar materials.
What kind of supplies do you have leftover from previous builds?

I think it’s great that all your tanks would tie in together now from using similar materials in each. All one theme. Awesome!
Yeah! Each of my tanks are a little different, but utilize similar materials & plants to “tie” them together. I don’t know that everyone likes that, but I am all for it!
I can’t believe there are only 2 days left in the challenge! Hooray!

I know! That is crazy! It really flew by!
X is always a hard one. Good job!
yeahh I had to cheat a little bit.
