    I think its more fun to work with the bigger tanks. The ideas.....
    Are you looking to house some thumbnails in the near future? Sara did our vents enclosure... She is much more detail oriented and had a great time doing it. I got an incredible deal for the two tanks I just couldn't say no. The 50 gallon will stay aside until I really get an idea, on plants and frogs to put in.

    Can't wait to see what you'll do with your 10 gallon. Mike.

    No decision on what will go in there. Right now I want to see how the process goes. With clay if you don't like it you can just tear it out and try again. I really did not want to do that with foam, tho Great Stuff is pretty cheap. Clay is just easier to clean.

    My fear is I will have all these vivarium setups and no frogs to fill them.

    LOL, I understand that. I really enjoy building. Planning out something different, and seeing if I can get close to my initial plan.

    Eric you have really have a bad case of the frog addiction.. If your wife is that understanding she's definately a keeper. My next frogs will be some leucs, and then some Varaderos, and then some Milks, then a huge vertical for some blue webbed flying frogs, and....see the addiction doesn't stop. I agree a big part of the fun for me is the tank build.
