Having a hard time deciding on new mantella vivarium, help!

Can't wait to see it!

The styrofoam sure is messy! When I was cutting out rocks for my waterfall I had little foam balls static'd to everything. Including me, lol!

It sounds like it's really coming along.

Soooooooo i have a good portion of my styrofoam rocks sculpted but sadly not painted yet! Hopefully this weekend ill have a good portion of them done. I thought i had the whiterack done yesterday but guess what, the bottom is too wide for what i want! So now i have to trim up the bottom corners so i can have more of a sand bottom with a shallow stream!

Having this sort of delay has really helped me fully plan out and decide what plants i really want to use.
In the water i will have some crytocoryne and some dwarf tiger lotus.
Foreground ill have fittonia( 4 different color types) and leopard plants.
Midground there will be a large philodendron and alocasial.
For background plants ill be using kangaroo paw fern, staghorn(elk horn) fern, and i may throw in a birdsnest fern.
