40B Vertical Tank Conversion

[DigitalPunk]

Ohh that is a good idea Bill! One of the perks of being unemployed right now is I have LOADS of time to sit around and dream up projects. I decided to tackle cleaning out the 40b now that the Mantella have been relocated. I moved the poor mans stand and put the tank on it vertically to see how it looks, and MAN is that going to be a sweet tank when it is done lol. I can almost picture it in my head. I also noted when I placed the tank.... If I do it vertical like this I could get a 2nd 40b and put them both on the one stand! lol.



Not sure what I want to get to put in this yet. Most likely a Dart frog.... I am seriously considering doing this up as a Moss heavy tank. Doing moss covered walls and lots of wood. brooms, and tall grassy plants... I can see it in my head and it looks awesome lol.

I have been brain storming on how I could lay this out for some Darts or Mantellas that would use the vertical space. I am thinking I want a lot of Moss and ferns in this one with some gentle sloping walls to make it easier for them to use some of the upper ares. Maybe slope the side a bit till about halfway up and then make them more vertical with branches reaching up towards the top with Brooms all over them.. Not sure... I started price checking things to determine what it might possible cost to do this type of a build and Folius is out of Hygrolon large sheets with no ETA on restocking them. This concerned me because I would hate to plan on using that product and it take 2 - 4 months for him to get them in stock. So now I am looking at other options for do some moss walls on the sides of the tank.
