LoL i got side tracked and haven't taken any yet. I will take some tomorrow morning. In the mean time here are some new pics of the frogs in the tank.











And onto a bit of a sadder note.... I located a spot on the waterfall in this tank that was not coated in foam coat properly. By the time I had found it the damage to the waterfall was done. Water got in behind the foam coat on a large section of the waterfall and it was starting to fall apart. Pieces of it were found in the filter and in the water. So a mini remodel was done a week ago. The water fall was completely removed. We considered repairing it, but decided to trash it and increase the land mass instead. We did not have enough egg crate on hand to do the land extension so I used some of the rocks I had left over from one of my other builds. Here a a couple pics of the land mass being added.





The water was completely drained from the tank and re added 5 times to make sure it was clean again. A Pleco was added to the water as well to help keep it clean.

Full tank pictures to come tomorrow.

They are looking good Paul! Sucks you have to remodel the tank on the fly. But that's the way it goes sometimes.

Yeah it was crappy, but the frogs do seem to enjoy the extra floor space more than they did the waterfall.

Here are some photos from about 2 mins ago of the tank. The Pothos on the left has grown like crazy in the tank. The Bromeliad is doing great as well. The small pothos and fern on the right are both new (got planted about a week ago). The fern is a test. I bought a fern in an 8" pot and separated a small piece to plant in this tank to test how viable using that one pot to plant many tanks will work out.

Oh, you can definitely split ferns up. Especially those with rhizomes. In fact, the autumn fern in my member's choice tank is actually a split fern surrounding the begonia on the floor of the tank.
