Andy's big gift to me was an Oceanic Systems 39 gal "Chameleon lounge" tank for my two adult male cresteds, along with two Exo-Terra Amapallo plants (one large and one medium) as well as three Exo-Terra Vines (two medium and one fine) and a cool looking two-tiered aquarium rock formation. We emptied out the 20 gal normal aquarium they were using and added their old supplies in the new tank with their new supplies and it looks very jungle like with the new set-up. I've been wanting to upgrade their home for a while and now we did!

Their old tank was 24L x 17H x 12.25W. The new one is 30.25L x 24.75H x 12.5W. A vast size difference to see side by side, and it still fits perfectly on the dresser top the old one sat on.

Here are the pictures. The day after these pictures were taken, the rock in the front left corner was replaced with the nicer looking tiered rock formation mentioned earlier and a second plant was added to the back right corner. There is also a third vine we plan to add once it's time to clean their tank. :)

They really seem to dig the new space.

Nice and lush! I bet those two are in heaven with all that exploring to do in their new pad.
