    Thanks Mike. I can't wait to see you do a moss based Vic so I can learn to work with getting moss to grow.

    Don,

    Funny you should mention it. I will be working on that tomorrow. I have the background all done. Put in the substrate and the ABG Mix this evening. I took the bags of moss that I received from Josh Frogs and put distilled water in them so they would soak up the water and become a bit more manageable. Hopefully I can work on the moss as well as some plants tomorrow. Still need to get a light for it. Not sure if I want to go with the same light fixture as before on the other 18x18x24 viv since it looks nice on top and I would not have any problems displaying the entire setup in the living room. My feeling is that fixture won't provide enough light so probabbly will go with a T5 setup.

    Black jungle has a 3 bulb 24 inch top for only 44.00 plus shipping. You could definitely pump out some wattage with that. They suggested that to me over the t8 or t5 since you don't get the wattage you would want for plants.

    If it was 30 inch I would have bought that for the 20 long. That's what I built the one I have.

    I run one 26 Watt one the Whites 18x18x24 I have and its pretty bright so o can imagine 3 bulbs in there would be crazy bright.

    Great videos Don! Those little guys are so pretty! I've never really liked bees themselves, so sometimes yellow on black doesn't appeal to me...>> (I'm allergic t their venom and have been the hospital more than once for a tiny sting...) but on frogs it has a certain charm. XD

    Great video Don! I love how the little guy/gal eats! I'm used to my White's just lunging frantically at anything small that moves toward their face, so watching a Dart eat is a whole different experience.

    I can't wait to get some Auratus and experience the Dart world. ^ ^ Your Luecs are great!

    They definitely are fun to watch Kisa, but not the exciting diving off glass and the one arm leaf grabs of a Whites. :-)
