First Habitat

I got the foam in the tank and here's some pics. I'm going to coat it in some silicone and peat to cover up the foam. I tried to put a little ramp in the back to allow the frogs to crawl out. Let me know if you think it will work.





and one of the reef per request.

Alright, so I got the peat on the foam and filled put some substrate and water in only to realize that I had a leak somewhere in my foam. I'm hoping it was only around the edge so I put down some more silicone to try to seal it. Looks like I'll have to wait another day or two before I can test it again, but with any luck I should be able to move in some FBTs this weekend.

I love your reef that is awesome. I had a similar size setup with an octopus and a 75 gallon tall with the full reef. I miss it but I can't begin to tell you how much I spent in rock alone. But seeing your tank makes me wish I had it back. Thanks for sharing.

An octopus!? THAT is awesome. I imagine you had to latch the lid down pretty tight.

After dealing with countless pinhole leaks I finally got the foam wall sealed and was able to get the water, substrate, a plant, and the FBTs in. I have some more plants on the way to go in the water and I'm going to get some moss for the land. It's not the most unique viv, but I think it's pretty good for a first attempt.

Seems like they like the little hide I put in there.

You know everybody says now a days that but I had him back before internet forums (yes I'm that old) and I never knew that it could be a big deal. And it actually wasnt much of an issue. My tank was acrylic and had a built in overflow along the back wall that went to the sump. A couple of times I had to scoop him out of the bottom of the sump and put him back in, but he soon figured out there was nothing to do in there. They are really cool pets.
