Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
Not meaning to be a downer here because I do think this is an interesting way to use a tank, but with a shared water system you will be exposing the frogs to each others toxins or any potential pathogens they may have. Something to keep in mind when it comes time to select the inhabitants.
Looking forward to seeing the completed project!
Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
So it's still obviously a work in progress, just wanted to share this:
My frogs are ALL in one place now!! Plus My red eared slider tank at the end, now I just need to find a spot for my box turtle!! The two level that I'm currently building is bottom left...just had to see it in there!
Soooo it turns out my top level will be 11.6 G (empty) and the bottom 16ish (Holds about 5 G of water in bottom)
Here's a side view of the outside partially done being painted to cover ugly things in the tank...
Here's the top floor with some of the G.S. covered with NO VOC Gennex (BJM) Waterborne Paint tint... which I then seal with a clear coat.
The top:
The bottom:

Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
Totally hating how blue the "rocks" turned out, but that will be much less noticeable once substrate and plants are all in...I'm hoping!
Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
They really are blue? I thought it was just the pic.....lol

Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
It is mostly the pic, they're grayer but still...I was too impatient to do a second darker coat haha
I re-found a great local pet store near my old house... the owner is just awesome and let me go on and on and on about my tanks, and actually listened!
Picked up some new aquatic plants yesterday:
Cabomba
Jungle Valisneria
Java Fern
Water sprite
one I can't remember the name but it grew from a bulb and looked kinda like a banana plant??
some hornwort and anacharis for my slider
and a couple swords
AND he had nightcrawlers!! I have been completely unable to find any since winter hit Cleveland, all the frogs and turtles were psyched
Re: Two Level 40 G Vertical Build
Nice score! All low light, low maintenance plants. The one that looks like it has a bunch of bananas at the root is called a banana plant. Sorry, i don't have any experience with them. All the others i have grown. We call them "beginner's plants". But that doesn't mean they are bad plants. I like water sprite, but it grows too bushy for me. The jungle val will throw runners all over the place for ya. And you can never go wrong with java fern. Just make sure you do not plant the rhizome on the java fern. It will rot and kill the plant if you do. Tie it or super glue it to a rock or piece of driftwood, and it will grow wonderfully for you. I have several varieties of microsorum growing in various tanks.
