    thanks Carlos! yeah, that particular species was my first venture into rare crypts. it's one stunning plant whether it is grown emersed or submerged. it's a sentimental favorite of mine

    forgot a few pics to add. first is the giant orange isopods i added to the tank today. the white thing is an eggshell. they love 'em!! it also had a few babies on it, so i tossed the whole lot in


    next is a ridiculous amount of springtails, they pretty much dispersed before i could get a pic.


    last one. i ALWAYS build a maintenance tunnel into my vivs so i can access equipment, run wiring and such. this is where my wiring and drainage tube come out.

    Any new updates for this build Bill. I know you've been busy being on TV and radio shows Saw the TV show on youtube. Not bad. Looks like they are still working out the format and stuff but I liked what I saw so far. I think once I get my Sons tank and my Dart tank done I will repost the build log over on that Site as well.

    it was a hectic weekend. the delay was caused by a setting on my google + acct. luckily, i had a backup acct to use. radio this weekend. busy busy busy...lol

    i took some pics today. added a few plants in, nothing major, but i just placed a large order wit Black Jungle today. hopefully it will come in this week. a friend of mine (owner of folius) has been saving an orchid he picked up for me at an orchid show in miami a few weeks ago, and should be shipped this week as well. i love when the weather gets a wee bit warmer..lol OH and i have a couple tiger lotus plants coming from another friend for my white's tree frog palu, which i will update after i post the pics here.



    i had typical crypt melt, but my crypts and bucephelandra species are starting to make their comeback










    i have some wonderful fungi growing inside my maintenance pipe. i'll be getting a fern to plant in there soon. Black Jungle didn't have the one i wanted for there, so i gotta shop around


    that's all there is for now. i forgot to take a full tank shot, but i will do that when i have more plants in it.

    Looking good Bill! I am still not sure about plants for my tank, but I love how yours is coming along. I officially lost the last plant I bought for my Red Eye tank. Don't know if I could of done anything different. They all arrived frozen from Josh's frogs. I haven't gotten with them to let them know of anything. I figure it is a just a wash.

    If you have any good clippings let me know. I will buy some from you for my Dart tank

    Default Re: A new build....the time machine

    yeah.....i'm not a big fan of Josh's, for plants anyway. not because of quality or anything, i just don't like their selection. clippings are not a problem my friend. when i trim, i will let you know.

    Awesome Bill thanks!

    I think I am going to order some plants from NEHERP and see how theirs are. They have been great these last to shipments of building supplies. I will have to give black jungle another shot it seems

    Well, I got what is probably my last order from black jungle yesterday. I was very displeased with one of the plants, a begonia bipinnifitida. I paid $19.99 for this plant and it was a twig with 3 or 4 leaves. And, the plant stake they left in the plant lists the price at $14.99. Now, I don't mind paying extra for a plant, but I expect a plant, not a twig. This was what I received:

    I emailed them as soon as I saw it, with pics, and got no response as of this morning. Oh well, lost a customer there. Here's the rest of the gang I ordered and then the tank planted.

    Now we can just sit back and watch it grow. I'll be ordering the frogs in a week or two. So they will have a wonderfully grown in tank by the time they get out of quarantine.

    Super disappointing about the plant

    I was at Home Depot yesterday and they are having a tropical plant sale. I am going to go back later this week and pick through everything and see if I can find anything worth buying.

    Tank is looking good

    Thanks buddy. I'll be hitting up the big box stores for a couple cheapie fillers this weekend. I need a few small ferns for this and my white's tank. I would hit my favorite plant shop, but with all the snow we have gotten here, parking is a nightmare in that section of the city lol

    I love winter but man am I tired of all this snow. So glad it is warming up now and it is starting to melt. Today is the first time I have seen the asphalt on the city streets in 4 weeks.

    The Plant shops here don't have anything out yet. Stupid winter! lol

    Planting looks good Bill! Stand by... Seneca is heading our way with another foot of snow to many areas! We had a couple warm days (to 60's ) and finally the dirty snow pile ups at parking lots melted .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
