Awesome! I love it bill. Can't wait to see how it looks once the plants start to grow in.
Ok, I haven't updated this thread in a while. Sorry about the pictures, but I had to delete that album to block another forum, but if anyone needs them, I would be happy to link to all the pics in this page.
That being said, on to the pics. This has been growing in a while. I have added a few things and it is very cluttered right now since I am housing a few plants until I finish another build. Here's what she looks like right now:

Looking good Bill, Have you decided what type of frog will get to enjoy this tank?

Not sure yet. I'm going to see what mantellas are available in white plains in April. If I don't find anything there, it may house the varaderos I am getting from Lynn and I'll have to decide what goes into the tardis.

Hard to enjoy something that you can look at and see all the things you wish you had done differently lol. I really like it to Bill. Can't wait to see how the Tardis turns out!
I have begun gathering supplies for an 18x18x24 Exo Terra Natural Dart/Mantella Tank. I Have a strict $190 budget for everything (excluding the tank and frogs). I haven't decided if I am going to put Painted Mantellas In it or a type of Dart frog.

I really want painteds for this tank (m. Baroni). I am hoping to get some in white plains.
I wish I could build on such a small budget, but I get way too excessive on my builds lol. I am doing the 18x18x24 on a budget though. I have to see if I can grab some background materials today. I'm surprised you didn't weigh in on that thread Paul.

I have a 29g that I want to build for a couple of White's. For the life of me, I can't get a plan to stick in my head long enough to put it on paper. It's like I find something and then I find something brighter and shiner to distract me. So, I tip my hat to those who "git'r done".

I have the same issue sometimes. I am a scatterbrained fool at times. I am the t-shirt that says "I have ADH....hey, look, a squirrel!" Lol
If you can't get it on paper, I use the notepad and voice recorder on my phone all the time to record ideas. Maybe that might work for you?

Looks awesome! I really like the metallic look on the pipes.
thanks guys and dolls! i took a couple updated pics with the fog running. i also did something a bit unorthodox that i haven't tried in a few years, i set my lighting to 24/7. this tricks the plants into going into a vegetative state, or a constant growing cycle. i only did this since i have no animals in there. the tank has been running with 24 hours of light for just under a week now and i am seeing very nice growth. i also increased my fertilizers from 6 drops/gallon to 12. i'm also posting a few pics of some of my favorite plants in the tank, hope you enjoy
selaginella sp. columbia
aglaonema simplex
irish moss (sgina subulata)
aglaonema minima (L) schismatoglottis pusilla (R)
syngonium 'rayii'
piptospatha rideyi 'bicolor'
syngonium erythrophyllum
cryptocoryne wendtii 'green gecko'
anubias barteri nana 'petite' (center) also, there's a bucephelandra species i have yet to identify in the top center and the tiny leaved plant to the left is Hemianthus callitrichoides. the glosso (glossostigma elatinoides) on the right is just being store until i finish the members choice tank.
if there are any plants you would like pics or id's on, feel free to ask way

Thanks buddy! It's starting to grow in nicely. The new light cycle is kicking some butt, especially with my aroids. The syn. Erythrophyllum has shot up about 2 inches in about a week

I have finally completed the tank. Added leaf litter from genesis exotics (www.genesisexotics.com) I got to meet josh today and let me tell you, he's an awesome guy who definitely gets my seal of approval!
The permanent residents also went in for a mini tour, until I set their quarantine tank up. They be back in a month
