New to the Forum, Thought I Would Share My Custom Tank Setup

[Adam R]

Hello all, I've been viewing the forum for a long time...gathering info and looking at many threads. i decided to join and share the project I've been working on the past few months. it may look familiar to you since i used the same tank concept as another member on this forum, Jason withers. i loved the seamless tank design and i have a glazer right up the street. its incomplete of course, i still need plants and frogs. hope you like

please excuse the horrible photos, they were taken from my phone

Very cool!! What will you be housing in there?

[Adam R]

this is my first time with darts so i was thinking dendrobates leucomelas

Cool! Leucomelas are great frogs!

You may want to consider a easy thumbnail species.
They will use the upper portions of the tank more than the leucomelas will when fully grown.

Once leucomelas reach adult hood they climb much less than as froglets.
Since there is so much water space, their land space gets cut down significantly.

A thumbnail species generally stays in the upper portions of the tank and
in my opinion will use much more than the leucomelas will be able to.

Just my .02

Tank looks awesome, cant wait to see it totally finished and planted.
Keep posting pictures!

No problem, yeah adult leucomelas are generally ground dwellers. They prefer more floor space than verticle. Froglet leucomelas on the other hand are serious climbers. lol They are all over the tank.

If you do decide to go with a thumbnail species... i would recommend the imitators. Imitators are what i first started out with and have had no problems with them. Very bold and active frogs whom spend 90% of their time in the upper 2/3 of the tank. In my experience that is. Just make sure you have the temperatures and humidity levels right before introducing the frogs.

Still really interested to see some updates as you go. This tank has some serious potential!
