Pros and Cons of using a 40 gallon octagon tank for a frog vivarium/terrarium/enclosure

[Adam R]

Hmmm...
I would of course take all the tanks. I love octagon tanks. I returned one a few years ago that was leaking, but now i'm kicking myself. There are some great examples online of dart frog tanks in the hex/octagon shapes. They really work well for making a tree stump tank for dart frogs. I think D. leucomelas would be great in a tank like that because it has some horizontal but a bunch of vertical space.

So yeah, I say take all of them.

Or give them to me.

Cheers,

i have a 65 gallon hexagon and i thought it would be the perfect terrarium tank but after delving into a build i found it difficult. its meant to really be a centerpiece viewed from all angles so confining it to a corner really killed the beauty of the tank for me.

the only way i think i would ever try a build with it again would be to leave the walls alone and build from the center up. like a eco/epiweb pillar..

I have a 37 hex with 3 Hyla versicolors in it, love it, only problem I had was making my DIY screen lid, but if you are putting darts in it, a glass top by a local glass company will be no problem. There are a couple of great hex builds on dendroboard
