    I saw this first on TPT as well. It was so awesome to read about and see the whole process here.

    ok, long over due for an update. let's start with the frogs, shall we? there are (10) Phyllobates Vittatus in here. well, i assume there are still 10. i rarely ever see them, since they are still so young. i dump a bunch of fruit flies in every other day and they disappear, so we'll go with them being in there.






    some full tank shots. these didn't come out so well because i forgot my stupid phone was still on zoom. no matter, i plan on tanking new pics with my big chipmunk camera soon







    now for some inside the tank shots. i will identify plants as i go along. i will be missing some, so if you have a question about a particular plant that i didn't identify, don't be afraid to ask

    Monolina Primuliflora







    Not a clear pic, but this is Dracula Walissi


    Syngonium sp. , Begonia 'Tarapoto' (bottom)


    Piptospatha Rideyii 'Bicolor'


    Dragon's tail fern (Asplenium x ebenoides) (L) and NOid Primulina sp. (R)




    Clockwise from top left: Scaphosepalum Swertifolium 'Pink' , Sinningia 'Lil Georgie', Drosera Filliformis, Asplenium x ebenoids, Begonia 'Buttercup'


    Sinningia 'Lil Georgie'


    Begonia 'Buttercup' growing wild


    Scaphosepalum Swertifolium 'Pink'


    1. Syngonium 'Rayii' 2. NOid Primulina sp. with a miniature violet to it's right


    Syngonium erythrophyllum


    Begonia 'Tarapoto'


    1. Rhaphidophlora pachyphyllum 2.Begonia 'Buttercup' 3. Miniature violet. i have 3 mini violets in here, but i bought them so long ago, i have to wait for them to bloom again for me to identify them.


    Juvenila cryptocoryne species. it will grow to be a monster in this tank. that's only it's third leaf. i believe this is my C. Griffithi, but not sure, i have a bunch of crypts i lost track of moving from one tank to another. i will have to wait on spathes to properly identify them.



    Piptospatha Rideyii (waiting for it to develop a bit more, could be another bicolor) (L) Aglaonema Simplex (R)


    Aglaonema Minima


    1. Schismatoglottis pusilla 2. Autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) 3. Dracula mopsus 4. NOid Primulina sp. 5. Maxillaria variabillis 6.Syngonium 'rayii'


    1. Sinningia 'lil georgie' 2. Dracula wallisi 3. Nephrolepis exalta 'smithii' (or 'suzi wong')


    and that's all she wrote. i hope you enjoy looking at the tank as much as i do

    Thank you thank you. She's coming along very well. I am very pleased with the growth, considering I am only running t8 lighting over it. Just goes to show you don't need fancy, uber expensive lighting to grow nice plants

    And heath, I appreciate the sucking up after the Rob Van mourick incident! ROTF!!

    What kind of filter do you use for such a low water level?

  22. #155

    Default Solitude....a new build from the chipmunk

    No filter at all. It's like a big pond that has half it water changed weekly.

    Not this one. The water feature is too shallow for any living creatures. I wouldn't recommend a setup like this deep enough for fish unless you have a lot of natural (walstad method) type experience. Any time you have fish involved, a filter should be used.
