Beautiful axie! I'm genuinely curious what you're using for a chiller. I'll need one before long.

 

[Sneakybrykilla]

I'll be posting up my DIY chiller soon, just need to find time to get post together and showing process.

My tank stays at 64.4-65F while the room temp is at 71-72F

I spent about 200$ on a chiller and it was a good investment.... I live in Arizona and the sun faces my window so a chiller was absolutely essential and it works very well even when it gets to about 80 degrees F in my room.

For people people that cannot afford a 300$ chiller, either make one or put your tank in the basement!

He looks like a wild type, now that I'm seeing his sides more. He's got a lot of grey on him; i like this little crest patch. Very handsome

He's a melanoid. I don't see any shimmer in his eye. He's adorable!:happy:
