I keep three vivariums in a 1000 kg capacity storage shelf unit. There are yoga mats under the entire thing and on every shelf. I've used the same mats for 10 years, and they were always waterproof. Well, the latest batch I bought were not.
I had to prepare bins and other tanks for the frogs, catch like 45 frogs, empty out 50 kg of wet sand, uninstall the lights, move the vivariums out of the shelf, check the floor (which was ok), waterproof everything properly and reinstall the non leaking tank again.
Took 6 hours of hard work, and I couldn't even get out of bed until 12.30.
Now we have two layers of plastic, styrofoam, a shelf wrapped in bin bags, capped with vinyl and a floor protection mat. I won't do the same mistake twice.
