Getting ready 135 tank

[Leefrogs]

Reptile chanel plant list says umbrella is ok. But the other site says they both are skin irritants and cause digestive problems and swollen mouth. I'd get a snake plant, and the pots the come in are huge, easily split that up into 4. Rubber tree, not the maroon color one, and a hibiscus maybe, if u want a tree.
The non toxic fiddle leaf fig bends easy to fit in a big your viv , oakleaf and creeping fig are toxic, but mike and clownfire are using them for darts, I think it's unwise, but they aren't going to be sleeping on it like tree frogs.

See peep use split leaf philodendron, and that's toxic also, u can tell by the smell, break a leaf and it's real a noxious aroma. If u see something u like and don't have a plant book with, snap and sniff.

I would check those two site I said, sorry I can't cut and paste to make it easier, I'm just on a phone. Sorry. And I noticed my girl turned dark right where a leaf had touched her, so there's another sign to look for.

Now i know which one you are calling the umbrella.. I don't mind not using that one anyways. thought the leaves were to small anyway..

Are there different bromeliads.. Looking into trying to some of them for color..
I know I can get snake plants aswell...

Ok picked up bomelaid plants and I was told a snake plant.. What you all think? I didn't go to big with anything because I know they are going to grow..

awsome plants!!! That brom is huge!!! And the snake, very original, never seen one so pale, don't be afraid to split that as many times as u like. Looks like an 8" pot, probably can spit that down 8 x if needed. Are u going to do the whole background thing, or viewing from all around? I never asked bout your plans.

Thanks,, Trying..haha The tank can be viewed from all sides.. Yes, planning on splitting all the plants up and spreading thru out the tank.

I am using the leca on the base.. Do you all screen that and then add you base for the plants.. What is the best and easiest to get for good plant growth and safe for frogs.. Our pet store didn't have ****.. going to have to make a trip to a bigger pet store chain. Should I use a coco fiber mixed and can I put a moss layer on top of that for better looks? I think I will need ALOT of it..

haven't done a real bottom, I just went rocks coco fiber and moss. But I think u can use weed barrier I stead of screen if u want, I would mix coco fiber and whatever dirt u choose. Eco earth or plantation soil. The coco husk will help roots breathe and airate, and some also mix in sphagam. I found the bricks of compressed swell up sooo much, for the 33 gal I have, the 8$ double brick of forest moss was enough for a year. Bout 6 changes. So 16$ and you're covered. I've heard of peep using sheet moss from micheals craft store, it grows I guess? Not sure. U could add large rocks to take up some of the space, looks nice.

I only thing I am thinking about and a tad worry is the depth of the soil for these plants. going have to be pretty deep. I will search online for the coco fiber and clean soil.. I know lowes don't carry anything that is clean.. I will have to try our local garden shop. That is what I will do is use that weed stopper.. Will work better and I have some..

Trying to get some leca and then fish are going.. I think I will make the tank hilly and not just flat.. You see it from all sides. This should be interesting .. Probably will look like a mess before I get the plants how I want them...
