    Default Re-did the Viv!

    So, as many of us are familiar with, it got to where I just hated my original tank and had to re-do it. It's not necessarily the design aspect, I just jumped in too far with a water feature and everything. The water was filthy, I couldn't even access the filter, the left foam background was coming off, and I even had one of my 2 AFTFs sleeping back there during the day. YIKES. So I pooled some money together and re-did the tank.

    I decided to scrap the eggcrate and just went with some NEherp LDL. I've had good experiences with NEherp and their customer service is great, so I put in a large order with them about a month ago. Due to weather it took a while to ship, but that's always understandable. Here's what I ordered:

    18x18 cork panel (to replace the left side of the spray foam background)
    Exo-terra Large rock water bowl
    Floral mounting wire (10 pk)
    NEherp vivarium substrate V.2 (for slightly drier vivs)
    Glass inserts for 18x18 exo terras
    Exo-terra thermometer/hygrometer
    Metronidazole (Flagyl)
    NEherp LDL substrate
    Repashy Supercal
    Repashy Supervite
    Korean Rock Fern
    NEherp terrarium moss
    Watermelon Peperomia
    Tilandsia ionantha 'Fuego'
    Pilea Baby Tears
    Black Contact Paper
    Beamswork LED 18"-22"
    Coco fiber

    Here's the photos:

    I'm really happy with it, and I can't wait for the new humidity and lighting measures to kick in and have my climbers cover the background. I'll let it acclimate for about 3 weeks and then transfer the frogs over. All plants have been bleach dipped, and all have already been growing in a grow-out tank for the past 2 weeks.

    I hope you enjoyed!
