lizard tank growing

i am thinking about trying to grow a plant in a lizard tank i have. i have a 10 gallon tank and a 5 gallon tank. i am planning on using the 10 gallon. But i was wondering what would be the best way to grow in the tank?

I don't think a lizard tank would be a good growing vessel. If you go with a natural soil mix you have no way for it to drain and water will accumilate at the bottom (not good). If you go hydro then you'll need to lightproof the entire tank and also get a lightproof lid.

I'd skip the tank and maybe buy a 5 gallon bucket with lid at Home Depot. With this you'll have alot more options.

10 gallon is nowhere big enough
you could do it but it would take a lot of work to get it done

Youd have to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the tank
get bio balls for a bottom drainage layer then weed fabric to keep soil outa the balls..
Then put your soil over the fabric by the time you put in the necessary amount of soil needed
you've already ran outa room for any kind of good root system for your plant..

Maybe a 30 gallon standing on end then the bottom 1/2 sealed to keep soil in would work..

but then how r u going to vent it..

I have lizards & extra tanks & have thought of everything to try but it just wasnt practical.
