RETF Viv. First Setup.

[seebison]

Hello!

So i've been working on a couple of vivs for a few months now. I intended to get RETFs and had made this 29g tall with a false bottom with a waterfall and all kinds of fancies, but was surprised with an exo-terra 18x18x24 for my birthday. So I made that the new Red-Eyed Leaf Frog tank and put my G. Margi gecko in the 29g tall (I actually turned it up on its side and made it a vertical, pretty neat.)

Anyway, here is exo-terra now:

The substrate is Coco Husk fiber and Sphagnum Moss. There's also a pool of gravel in the back corner, you can see the water flowing from the filter. The bottom is a false bottom with eggcrate. You can kind of see the water in the bottom, it's reddish from the moss. I don't think that's bad for the frogs, the filter is clean and there isn't any junk in the water, it's just reddish. There's also 3 live plants, the names of which slip my mind.

The temperature is doing pretty well. It's usually between 70-85 degrees. I'm having a little trouble with humidity, which is probably common with an exo-terra. It sits at a steady 60 normally, 65-70 when I mist. I don't want to close up the whole tank so the air gets all stagnant and gross, but I feel like the humidity could be a little higher.

I have 3 in there and so far they're doing well. Very active at night and eating well. What i'd really like is some springtails so I can get some of the mold that's growing in the dirt out naturally.

Here are a couple pics of the frogs:

Very nice and great photos. I think you fine with the humidity you're at.
