My new Projects

[Irina]

Hello,

sorry, my last login was since a long time ago.
New i have a litte time, to show you my new projects. I got a new house with my boyfriend and so we want to have new big tanks for our frogs.

You know, my english is not the best, so i hope you understand it.

What we want to make new:


Dining room:

Tank for Litoria caerulea (130x40x140cm) on a black drag.
The tank become a waterfall, on the groun comes water (140x40x20).

The beckside comes with Xaxim, Styropor and PU and laminated with torf.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Living room:

-) Aquaterrarium for Bombina orientalis & Cynops orientalis.
The backside and the lands come with Styropor, PU & Xaxim and cork.

-) Tank for Hyla cinerea and Anolis (120x50x140).
he tank become a waterfall, on the groun comes water (120x40x25).

The beckside comes with Xaxim, Styropor and PU and laminated with torf.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Room for Tanks alone:

1) is ready (i show you the fotos) for Bufo marinus (120x60x60)
Backside with Styropor/PU and Acrylbinder (i don't know the word in englis) and torf.

I make 20cm with torf so the Bufos can bury? themselfs in the torf.

Plants are not very nice, but for so big amphibiens, it is not possible, to give better plants in the tank.


2) is ready (i show you the fotos) for Polypedates dennysii, Agalychnis callidryas an one of my old Anolis (9 years old).

The backside is with Styropor/PU and Hypertufa.
I give wood, cork and other nice things in the tank.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working room:

3 new tanks for my crabs, Hyperolius mitchelli and riggenbachi and one for the fishes.

Nice greetings from vienna,
Irina

and the last one

[Skulldroog]

Whoa! Now those are some tanks. That blows my set ups out of the water for sure!

Looks like it took alot of work, not even going to think about how much it was in total. Very impressive none-the-less.

[Kurt]

Very nice. Just to be clear you are not mixing amphibian species in the same enclosure, are you? Mixing Bombina orientalis and Cynops orientalis together is a real bad idea, as they are both quite toxic and will poison each other.

[Irina]

Hello,

thanks for the nice words.

@ Kurt:

I know! Normaly i say always, don't give two species in one tank.

But my B. orientalis & Cynops orientalis are since the last 5 years in the same tanks (i have more) an since this time, i had no problems with them.
All two species had babies all the years - it's realy no problem.

Nice greetings,
Irina

Very nice set-ups hunny

[Kurt]

It there a filter on the orientalis tank? Does this filter have activated carbon in it?

[Irina]

Hello Kurt,

yes, i have in all my tanks, where is more water, a filter. In the small one, a small filter in the tank and in the big one a filter outside.

I have nowhere activated carbon in my filters. I don't like it - in the filter from my aquariums, i put it not in the filter.
Why?`Do you think, the toxid from the amphibians and the activated carbon make problems?

And the toxid from the two amphibians make realy no problems.

Nice greetings,
Irina

[Kurt]

I would think using activated carbon would reason some of the toxins from the water. Maybe the bacteria beds in your filter are capable of doing this.

Beautiful, very impressive.
