    Default Most Informative Thread Contest

    OK everyone here it is our first "Most Informative Thread" contest. If you haven't noticed I've been trying to encourage everyone to post threads such as terrarium builds, breeding projects, background desings, etc, etc. So by having a contest I hope some people who are "SHY" will come out and show us what they've done.

    HERE ARE THE RULES:
    1. The thread must be informative (of course)
    2. The thread must include details of a step by step project.
    3. It must have pictures or video (we love pictures here on Frog Forum)
    4. It must include materials used, types of plants, etc, etc.
    5. It can be a prior project you've done but it must be updated for contest.
    6. It does not have to be elaborate as everyone has a different experience level.
    7. It does not have to be a 100% finished project as some builds take longer to finish
    and some clutches take longer to raise.
    8. Inform us in the thread that you wish to submit it for the contest.

    HERE'S WHAT THE PROJECT CAN BE ABOUT:
    A. Terrarium build
    B. Breeding project
    C. Insect Culturing
    D. Background designs
    E. Rain Chamber design
    F. Misting System
    G. Frog Room build
    H. False bottom design
    I. Water Fall design
    J. Fuax rocks or other terrarium furniture
    K. Lighting systems
    L. Other (I'm sure there is something cool I missed -just ask)

    TO SELECT THE WINNER:
    Each mod will select two threads and those names will be tossed into a hat and the winner will be selected at random. This is my effort to encourage all new members to participate because everyone will have a chance to win. The winner will not simply be the person who has the "coolest" tank, the most skill at terrarium desing, or who breeds the most frogs. Every one who puts in the "effort" will have a chance to win. To me its about learning from each other.

    THE PRIZE:
    The winner will receive a Mist King Starter Package or a Monsoon misting system which ever one you prefer. The prize will be furnished by yours truly so make me proud and tell all your friends.

    THE CONTEST TIME FRAME:
    The contest will run through the end of March. I will allow anyone who has posted a thread since February 1st to participate or simply include updates on your thread if it is older. This should make for an interesting next 60 days. If you have any questions or need clarification on something ...ask away. I'm only human and I'm sure I may have left something out. Good Luck guys and use each other for ideas and make it fun.

    I look forward to seeing yours in progress. What size tank are you going to be using?

    15 gallon, I'll have a group of 8 reed frogs (deciding if I want to get a group of Hyperolius argus or Heterixalus madagascariensis). For the tank its self. I'm thinking about having a small water pool that has live bamboo growing from it. Then have some live mosses and some sedge/grass plants along the edges of the water area. That's the rough sketch right now.

    I've looked at getting the Argus but I could never find captive bred. Where are you getting yours?

    Since you have pictures why don't you start a thread and describe how you built your tank. Check out the rules of the contest...we would love for you to participate.
