My 40L build

[2ofEverything]

This will be a different take on the 40 gallon long build I had deleted earlier. This tank will be used to either permanently or temporarily house P. Sauvagii. The reason I say temporarily is because I am aware of the height issue, however, if the frogs seem happy then I may permanently house them until I have the funds to purchase a taller tank and move them. The tank will have a water feature as well.

Tank dimensions: 48"L x 13"W x 18"H

A few of the photos from the last build will be reused since they are very similar. Let's get started.



The first thing to do was the platform, the egg crate was cut to approx. 32.5" in length and two 13" x 13" squares were cut. They are 3 squares high and under the platform making it approximately 3" high. The platform is held together with zip ties (Nylon cable ties) which were trimmed after being applied.



A square approximately 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" was then cut to place in the open space, as there will be a water feature.



This is after I placed both platforms in the tank. The substrate barrier was purchased at home depot under the name WeedBlock.



A triangular platform was cut (inspired by Paul's 40b vertical build) because I plan on placing a water dish on top. The reason for the additional water dish is that I understand P. Sauvagii defecate in the water, an alternate dish will allow the frogs an alternate option if one of the sources have been "used".

More coming soon.
