Diggenem's 56G Rrbuild
OK I held out as long as I could. A few months ago I tore down the 56 column and started all over from scratch. I wanted something that would last for a while and be quick to build, so I opted for a tree fern back ground with cork bark panels for the sides.
The wood I purchased off eBay over the course of a few months to get exactly the look I wanted. None of the wood is imbedded in the background to make it easier to maintain and change if I see fit to do so.
I wanted this build to be epiphyte heavy with lots of moss, orchids, peperomias and others. I still have a few plants to purchase but the overall look is complete.
I already have a couple of gallons of ABG, magnolia leaf litter that I will add after I move into the new house, which should be in a couple of weeks. I also have a pretty nice culture of dwarf white isos, dwarf purple isos and temperate springtails.
Well sorry for being long winded. Here are dome pics of where I am now.

Looks nice, thanks for share. Can you describe top details including drilling and lights? Thank you!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Re: Diggenem's 56G Rrbuild
Thanks. The top I had made by my local glass shop. Its just two sheets of 1/4" glass. The edges are polished. There is a 2" hole drilled for ventilation and a 5/8" drilled for the misting bulkheads. There is also a second, 5/8" hole drilled into the right sheet that will accommodate my circulation fan setup.
The lights, I purchased from Amazon:
I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a fixture but still wanted good results. I guess time will tell.

Good evening everyone! I finally got around to putting final touches on this build. Overall I'm happy with the results. I still plan to add a few more mini orchids but the overall look is complete. Tell me what you think.
