Material Recommendation for Habitat Infrastructure
I have a sailfin dragon that has a storage tote as a pool for a part of his enclosure. To keep the water relatively clean, I have an aquarium pump attached to filter and recirc the water. I recently replaced the inlet/outlet hoses and I am having trapped air, so I want to raise the height of the tote by building a support structure; the top of the pump needs to sit about 15" below the water level.
I'm looking for material recommendations that can stand up to the high humidity and are not going to be bad for my buddy (e.g. water resistant woods have a ton of tannins). It also needs to be strong enough to support the weight of the container with approximately 10-12 gallons of water.
Any suggestions on material or design?
P.S. I am aware a sailfin is not a monitor; I received a lot of help here about the filtration due to similar habitat requirements. You all are very knowledgeable and helpful about more advanced husbandry.
