    Hard to enjoy something that you can look at and see all the things you wish you had done differently lol. I really like it to Bill. Can't wait to see how the Tardis turns out!

    I have begun gathering supplies for an 18x18x24 Exo Terra Natural Dart/Mantella Tank. I Have a strict $190 budget for everything (excluding the tank and frogs). I haven't decided if I am going to put Painted Mantellas In it or a type of Dart frog.

    I really want painteds for this tank (m. Baroni). I am hoping to get some in white plains.

    I wish I could build on such a small budget, but I get way too excessive on my builds lol. I am doing the 18x18x24 on a budget though. I have to see if I can grab some background materials today. I'm surprised you didn't weigh in on that thread Paul.

    I have a 29g that I want to build for a couple of White's. For the life of me, I can't get a plan to stick in my head long enough to put it on paper. It's like I find something and then I find something brighter and shiner to distract me. So, I tip my hat to those who "git'r done".

    I have the same issue sometimes. I am a scatterbrained fool at times. I am the t-shirt that says "I have ADH....hey, look, a squirrel!" Lol

    If you can't get it on paper, I use the notepad and voice recorder on my phone all the time to record ideas. Maybe that might work for you?

    i have been working on a plant listing for this tank, so here goes:


    1. Algaonema simplex 2. Schismatoglottis pusilla 3. lemon button fern 4. Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticata 5. button fern 6. Syngonum Erythrophyllum 7. Begonia sp Taropota 8. Aerangis Citrata 9. unknown orchid (needs to grow a bit more before i can identify it) 10. Microsorum sp. and Selaginella sp 'Columbia' 11. Cryptocoryne Wendtii 'Green Gecko' 12. unknown Cryptocoryne sp. 13. Hydrocotye sp. 'Japan' 14. Cryptocoryne Ciliata 15. Maxillaria Variabilis (being stored until i finish the tank they belong in) 16. mini aroid vine

    that covers most of the right half. i'll take a pic of the aquatics later and do the same for them. here.s the left half:


    1. Doryopteris pedata 2.button fern 3. Aglaonema minima 4. syngonium 'rayii' 5. Philodendron 'velvet' 6. selaginella p. columbia and bolivian jew (since been replaced with Sagina subulata (irish moss))

    that covers most of it. there are a few duplicates growing in the back left and i will id the aquatics later

    Thanks buddy! It's starting to grow in nicely. The new light cycle is kicking some butt, especially with my aroids. The syn. Erythrophyllum has shot up about 2 inches in about a week

    I have finally completed the tank. Added leaf litter from genesis exotics (www.genesisexotics.com) I got to meet josh today and let me tell you, he's an awesome guy who definitely gets my seal of approval!

    The permanent residents also went in for a mini tour, until I set their quarantine tank up. They be back in a month

    So this weekend, I not only finished the paludarium and planted my 30g black water tank, but it was also moving day for the mantellas. Sadly, I lost one during quarantine no clue as to why, but the other 3 are fine. Just another testament for quarantining animals, no matter who or where they come from.

    I also had a bit of reacclimation with my ferns. They died off a bit, but are making a come back with new growth. Here are some pics I took last night
