well G'day and welcome to the forum formally![]()
Hi all you great Froggers.
- Now being member on this friendly and informative site since June 2011. And before writing in too many threads, I figured I´d better make an introduction!
I have been amazed by life in the Amazon/ rainforests as long I can remember, but I primarily pointed my attention to life below water surface with the fishes. I have kept aquariums now for some +25 years, and decided now was time to try new...
I have been lurking arround PDF for some time, reading and studying different aspects with keeping these!
- The Vivarium is ordered with measures, in centimeters: 75 tall, 100 deep, 50 wide. Made from Pilkington "Opti White" glass.
From my years with reefkeeping I was a great admirer of this tank:
Reefkeeping Magazine - December 2011 Tank of the Month
- And I would like taking inspiration by the way he was aquascaping, but to do it by usin Mopani roots instead.
I think I will call this build "Bonzai Peninsula"
Backwall with be part covered with Xaxim, and artificial rocks by the company: *Back To Nature. Buttom will be covered by *BTN, combined with leaf litter.
I haven´t quite figured out how I will make it, either to transport water to a stream via "False Button". Or if I will have a sump!
- Plan is to keep a arboreal species, I have not yet decided which it is going to be.
In buttoms wet zone I will keep Anubias barterii Var: "Nana". On the "Bonzai tree" I will keep only epiphytes, and keep number of species low. But with many of each!
I will make a "build thread" when Vivarium arrives!
I give thanks.

Welcome to Frog Forum! Can't wait to see photos of your reef tanks and terrarium build.

Thank you Terry.
- Certainly, my pleasure. I have found some photos here, and a video from my 800 litres saltwater tank. All being Acanthurus sp.
Video saltvand - YouTube
NB!! Be sure to turn volume down as it was recorded a bit too loud! (!)
And some photos from my 1400 litres Tanganyika Biotope, built in my livingroom. Same person is also he who will build my Vivarium, soon to come... Hopefully I can make him to build that here too, it would be great for the build thread I´m making!
- Those artificial rocks from BTN, mentioned earlier is also used in this build!
p.s. Volbeat Rulez \m/.
lol, yes tastes do differ greatly, I love Volbeat they are awesome but little known![]()
