Am I mixing it wrong?

From a lot of the videos and pictures I've seen, there should be a lot more texture to the...

Welcome!

Was in Belgrade back in May on business. Its an absolutely beautiful city, and wonderful country.

Thanks for the reply, Bill.

So after searching through threads for a while tonight looking for help I had to come back to this thread in hopes of finding answers from the Frog Forum community.

Dang that's a bummer.

I just butchered a 5" netpot to try and cut down the footprint in the background. It'll have some vines or hanging plants inside. Will try hard to not notice the plastic pot...

I've...

Have you ever added the non-sanded grout to Titebond?

A future build of mine will use rigid foam and spray foam, but the rigid foam will be rock textured and I'm not sure the safest way to produce...

I would avoid any kind of chemicals that are used in the aquarist hobby.

If you want to increase or lower the pH of your water, you can add crushed coral or driftwood and almond leafs.

Anything...

Hey Bill,

Thanks for digging through my rambling.

False Bottoms:


Thanks for the advice on the diameter = height. The 40g tank has limited space so I may try to double up the supports, but...

Hello,

I've scoured this site for tons of information regarding dart frogs and their vivarium habitats, because I'll be honest...dart frogs are super cool and I wish I would've looked into them...
