    Hehe, thanks! and nope, nothing serious, but the walk in wasn't open lol.

    Update: CHANGE OF PLANS! Alright, so I had a hell of a time trying to do my waterfall the way I originally planned. The way I thought I would do it is run the tubing up the pre cut channel, and have a small piece of 1 inch pvc as like a nozzle of sorts, but this didn't work because the tube hates me and didn't wanna stay straight and the PVC didn't wanna stay put, so I said screw it, and ran a second conduit up the channel, with a hole cut out, which the tubing sticks out of, basically doing the same thing but easier. Anyways it worked, I great stuffed all over the tube and refilled the plant pots so I can redo em. Camera is charging right now, So I'll be posting pics in like 5 minutes.


    Off topic: How did I do making my new signature?

    The foam already expanded more than I expected, I'm afraid to wake up and look at it lol. Wish me luck.

    hey new to the forum, i am also looking to build a terrarium for my white's tree frog.
    this is looking really good! I just was wondering how do you make the great stuff foam
    safe for frogs? or do you just cover it with coco fiber?
    I am thinking of just buying a 10 gallon and doing something like this as a vertical tank.
    but then i wonder how fast he'll outgrow a 10 gallon even if it's vertical :-o
    anyway, just wanted to say it looked great and you're inspiring me to make my own with all of the
    pictures.

    The great stuff is already safe for em, but to make it look natural you smear silicone all over it, then pour Eco Earth (Coco Fiber) all over it. let sit for 48 hours. maybe a little bit more.

    About the 10 gallon. The 10 gallon would be fine for a froglet/ juv but he would outgrow it in a couple months. 1 adult white's should have a minimum 29 gallon, but you could fit 2 in there comfortably. Thanks for the comments too Viv building is probably one of the most fun parts of the hobby. Lemme know if you have any more questions.

    I just carved the waterfall and re-did the plant things. I'm getting another can of GS to do the pond somewhere around 1 EST, so I'm stuck until then. Oh yeah, I put in the pump/false bottom/ screen. Zip ties FTW. Here's some more pictures:

    Just sprayed the pond and filled the gap between the screen and background. Also dremmel'ed out a notch for the pump's power cord to go. Woohoo, almost done!
