New tank set up

[gtr319]

Hi guys, my gf and I came up with this after we gave up the drop front shoe box idea (due to possible chemical hazard). Let me know what you guys think, comments and suggestions are welcome^^^

I busted up when I saw your tank. I just set up something similar for my two Pacmans this last weekend. I divided a 20 gallon long into two.

hey Cheri, how does it work our for ya? I had been thinking to upgrade, but I am itching to add more horn frogs to my collection, to a point where I was eyeing the acrylic display case... but we'll see how things goes...

Sorry I didn't see your response earlier. The splint tank has worked perfectly fine for me
It allows me to share the heating, the light fixture and a fogger. But you also have to understand my stolzmannis top out at 2 inches. They're mini pacmans.

I would black out the divider so the frogs dont try to eat each other and bang themselves on the divider.

@ Adrian: thanks bro^^
@ Cheri: Yes, right now they seem ok since its winter... we hafta wait until summer time to see whts up
@ Riko: black out the divider? what would be a safe material to use? So far they are ok in terms of thinking the tank mate is their meal...

You can use non-toxic acrylic paint... or you can just use a piece of black or white plastic... something solid so there's a visual barrier. I'm not sure how long you're planning on keeping those frogs in that enclosure, but in time they will want to eat each other.

non toxic acrylic paint... got it!! This will be the perm set up, but I will cover the transparent part this week

Here are a few 10 gallon tanks that I just divided today. I am getting ready for a shipment TOMORROW!! 8 new babies.... I can't wait.

The dividers are just white pvc. I marked the tanks in 3rds and then attached with just 3 spots of clear silicone.
