This is my setup. It uses Coral sand as a substrate which I have had no problems with in my years of keeping reptiles.

I use cork hides with a camo plastic box filled with Vermiulite for a humid hide. I also have some rocks.

Heating is provided by 2 lights. (Normal and Red Repti spotlight for cold nights) and a UHT. I have a 1.2 setup in this tank.

Its about 68gallons.
