Hello, converting form reefkeeping to dart frogs

[rockytop47]

Yea Heather, that sounds AWESOME! I'm going to do my background in the color of Alabama clay, if you've ever seen it, you'll know why. Here's a link to a pic alabama red clay - Bing Images
Just found out one of our lady cashiers at work keeps a Whites dumpy, now SHE'S all about me getting up and running. Bill! We named the Perculas Jack and Dianne, hope to find them a good home, they have been entertaining and they were ORA tank raised, so they had no CLUE what an anemone was, until I shut out all the lights and shined a flashlight over the anem, they took to it literally overnight. I NEED a place online where I can get driftwood! I want a planter for my Orchid made out of a stump, I know, no pine. I'll be walking the Conecuh national forest Thursday to see if I can find a stump on my own, then using a peanut pot at work to boil it down, then home to the oven to bake. I know it's overkill, but go big or go home...

Waterfall Paludarium - Creating A to Z

That is the COOLEST Paladarium, sp? I've ever seen! Sorry about the confusion there on my part. I've read a LOT of don't do's when it comes to water and darts...Like trying to take Nyquil AND Nodoze. I'm certainly set-up for a water feature. I can even run my mister lines up through my "drain" side of my tank, I've got big enough bulkheads, large enough drain pipe, PLENTY of quarter inch quick connect elbows...?

check out this guy's build, maybe it will ease your mind about water and darts. http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...aludarium.html

Yea that was an awesome build! I'm already a step ahead of the game because I can keep all my pumps under tank in my sump, hence the need for the protein skimmer, lol. All my lines would already feed under tank, making it really easy to maintain. I could even use the sump as a holding tank for my mistking and fogger(yea I want both), and could only run the skimmer as needed, when the tannins browned up my water. I'm already hooked up to an auto-topoff on my rodi, evaporation would never be an issue...ARRRGH!

[deranged chipmunk]

yeah, you can officially call me jealous.....LOL i was thinking about running a 10 gallon sump for that build, but i really hate to drill a perfectly good tank......lol so instead i made the 10 an algae tank for the tads to live in, if i ever have any
