grey tree frogs

[Lacibeth]

Ok so your aquarium is 48in x 24in x 72in?

Digging deep in the brain recesses (and a quick google search for conversion from cu in to cu cm) the math should look something like this.

48x24x72=82944 cubic inches
1 cu in=16.387 cu cm
82944 cu in x 16.387 cu cm=1359203.33 cu cm
1 cu cm=0.001L
1389203.33 cu cm x 0.001 L=1359.20 L
1 L = 0.264 gal (liq)
1359.20 L x 0.264 gal=approx 359 gal (liq)

Someone please verify that math.

(And yeah, I know there's probably an easier way to do this but the last time I did this many conversions was sophomore physics)

The rule of thumb I go by for space is 10 gallons per frog. I would say you have more than enough room

As for plant help--in a tank that huge, I'd start w/ a "lemon-lime" Dracaena deremensis (I love the way these guys look), some ground cover type ferns (check Josh's Frogs for that), a couple of pothos, some broms or cryptanthus. And I'm out of plant suggestions--lots of the others have way more tank building experience so they should be able to give you much better plant advice.

231 cubic inches = 1 US gallon, but don't let that stop your conversion bonanza



The tank is a little small if you are planning on living in it with your 4 gray treefrogs, otherwise it's awesome for the frogs alone. I'd go with plants that get big, snake plants (Sansevieria), rubber trees (Ficus), grown up draecenas, Swiss cheese plant (Monstera). A staghorn fern would be pretty cool too, they can get massive leaves and could be grown directly on a bark background (I've never had one though due to the huge size). I usually aim to save money by buying younger plants and waiting for them to grow, but with the amount of space you have I'd probably get a few big ones at the start, especially for slower growing stuff.

A big jade gets like a mini tree with just a pile of branches filling up a vertical space that's wonderful for a treefrog, but they like lots of light so that could be a problem.

See, I knew there had to be but I couldn't remember it. I knew I could get from cu in to cu cm and from there to mL/L and then it's a hop skip and a jump to gallons. I like the long scenic route.
