60 Gallon Cubed Dart Frog Sanctuary

[EMCookjb]

I finally figured out how to post pictures on here. Its been about 3 weeks since I planted the vivarium. I have exchanged 4 LED plant growth pods for 4 more cool white LED pods for a total of 8 pods. Its really starting to look good and the plants look like they are starting to settle in and get some real growth. Specifically, both of the Dieffenbachias 'Star Bright' have new plant growth. I have also added a bag of crushed leaves. There are also a full culture of spingtails in the tank. Thank you everyone for their advice. I have thoroughly enjoyed building this vivarium.

I am maintaining 75-80% humidity and 67 to 77 degrees in the vivarium. I using about a gallon of distilled water per week. I have two containers growing springtail cultures and waiting to get a culture of isopods from Josh's Frogs. I still haven't quite made up my mind regarding getting "patricias" or leuks. I am leaning toward the pats.

Got a question for the "veterans". I don't really want to breed PDFs. Are there ways to ensure that they don't breed and/or what can I do if they do breed?

It's looking really great! Pretty soon those plants will be huge!

I would never consider myself a veteran, but ways that I can think of the prevent breeding are
-buying frogs that are already sexed
-I have heard that some darts (like Leucs) are seasonal breeders so if you keep conditions consistent (as in no "dry season") they will be less likely to breed
-you could cull any eggs but I don't really recommend it.
-you could also sell the tads

those are just what I thought of but I'm sure there are better ways out there
