Decided to bring all my frogs into one area
Still not finished but all in good time
It will have a large 1500mm x600mm tank up top and 4 700mm x400mm tanks below
All tanks have:
-Automatic daylight lighting (not hard to do, the reptile room as a separate circuit with a hardwired in timer for day time)
-Automatic night lighting (blue LEDS)
-Automatic Misting system (Mistking nozzles, but the rest is Do It Yourself supplied NZ as shipping was just to much to get it halfway around the world)
-Automatic overflow
-Naturally planted
The night lighting is a lot darker than it came up in the photo
Have only have 2 700mm tanks half setup at the moment, still need to do the false bottoms, planting and substrate

Please let me know what you think
That's incredible! You have an extremely nice looking and professional setup. I'm jealous :P
I agree! So professional. Looks like something that could be displayed in a zoo. AMAZING!
Thanks should look good when the substrate is in and all planted. still thinking how i want to do the large 5ft tank but need to repair or replace the bottom piece of glass first
Nice set up.
Love it!

what did you cover your vines and background with? And how do you make the vines?
very very nice and interesting installations, do you have any more details about all the installations and use of all your equipment??
regards
the vines are made of pvc pipe and different sizes of rope. all covered in black silicone and a peat moss sand mix.
The false bottom is perspex with lots of holes drilled in it, then coconut fiber and finality a peat moss/dirt mix. used perspex because don't no where to get egg crate in new zealand and i think it looks less noticeable.
the misting system is mistking nozzles. with a 120pis pump connected to a automatic filling water tank. i used a 10mm main water pipe that splits off to 6mm pipes to the nozzles.
Night lights are just Blue LED's on a timer.
Happy to answer any questions
