The new design plans: FrogLand 30 with AutoCare

[NetworkLabs]

So here's the current plan:

Setup Stage:
Build the main frame first. Leave front and top off.
Seal main frame with regular waterproof sealant.*
Build a plexiglass frame inside the main frame first .
Seal plexiglass frame with aquarium safe sealant.
Cut and fit a piece of glass to fit the front of the front view. Do not install glass yet!
Build a wall on the front view about 1/4 of the container's height!
Install and seal the glass plate onto plexiglass frame.
Setup terrarium to frogs needs.
Place top lid on frame and seal down with Velcro.
Install AutoCare features, then release frogs in container!

Here's some of the AutoCare features:
RainFlow Automatic Water Misting System
AutoLight Automatic Light Switcher
AirFlow Constant Air Flow System
AutoFill Automatic Water Refill System * *
AutoDrain Automatic Drainage Layer Drainage System

Specs:
Size: 30gal max.
Featured with AutoCare Technlogies
May also build a stand for it...

So this is all I got for now!
All features will be built in the tank! It will take a while to build,
but I think Snoopy and Peeper will like it! And Sugie will have 25 gal all by her self until I find another one of her species!

Actually, I need to Install AutoCare features first! Then setup to the frogs needs and then release.
This is all just in the planning stage though. Since I have no financial support from my Dad, it'll take
a while to build up the money in my checkings account for the supplies and materials. Then most likely,
I'll try to have our wood building neighboor build the tank and stand for me. I'll install the AutoCare features
myself!

I cannot wait to start! I'll post some design plans soon'

Actually, I've changed my mind on the size. I've thinking about building around 40-50 gals so I can get more frogs sooner or later. This will also give me the ability to have some babies in there once I get them!

[J Teezy]

whats your water refill system going to be like?

[NetworkLabs]

Simply a container that sits in a corner of my tank that has a PVC pipe that runs down to the water. When the water level get's below that point, water will automatically refill the water!
Very simple, that's how I want it!

I can't wait to see how this turns out!!

What is a rough estimate price for all the materials to build a decent size viv? I think I'll go this route instead of buying one if its less expensive.

[Sunshine]

I think it depends how much you put into it. I think mine cost around $300 total. It is a 50 gal. though.

[S13]

Hmm so its around even to just buying one it looks like. Id still rather build one, I dont need one that huge. It'll be more accomplishing.

[NetworkLabs]

Yes, it will roughly cost around $300, and since my parents won't fund me, I'll have to raise all the money myself. The main reason I went this direction is mainly for customization and ability to add features without destroying a perfectly good tank! Even though it will take 3-5 months in order to fund the project, it's still going to be worth it.

That's all that matters man! Keep us updated. I'd love to see the progress that goes into this project.

I have added $15.76 to the account. In order to reach $300 , I will still need: $284.24
