50 and 29 gallon tanks

[clownonfire]

After careful deliberation, I just purchased a 50 gallon and 29 gallon tank.

The 30 gallon tank I just finished will finally house a trio of Phyllobates terribilis Yellow which I will soon receive.

The new 29 gallon will be for the pair of azureus that I will get this Summer and I have a 50 gallon that I also have yet to build and decide what will be in it...

Decisions, decisions...

Oh the addiction. I'm right behind you Eric. This build I'm doing is mostly experimentation and once I can butter the wife up I will be doing something on a larger scale for a pair of darts.

I think we're just going to have to remove the couch from the living room for some more frogs.
She won't mind standing through all her TV shows I'm sure.

I swear Don, my wife is cool with my obsession, but she's starting to look at me to see if I am really sane ... We have a big place, but it's not gigantic, and with two kids... My toys collection will need to be packed... At least some of it... Next place will get will have a room for it...

We're getting married in September... Should I invite the frogs?

Eric,

You have gone bigger on the tanks and I have gone smaller. I just picked up a 10 gallon from petco for something like 12 bucks. I'm going to go with a vertical setup and try the clay background this time. Now I need to order one of those front panel kits.

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.

[MikeM670]

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.

The place up the street from me sells his tanks at cost.... oh the temptation. 24 bucks for a 20 long, another 100 for two frogs..... wheres that tax refund anyway? :-)

[MikeM670]

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.

[clownonfire]

Here's an update. I will likely be getting more like 4-5 Yellow terribs froglets. I'll post more details this week.

[MikeM670]

Nice! That should be a one nice vivarium when you have them.

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.

The list why my wife is a keeper is too long to post here. As for my addiction/obsession, damn right. After speaking with poison beauties last night, I do have an idea as of how I can put this obsession to good use. So... stay tuned.

Exactly Elaine! A Canuck Frog army, fighting against the evil empire of Hybridization. I did not just say this...

With the two new ones, it will be eight.

Hardly an addiction!

I'll soon need the kids' room though for the frogs. I hope my son and my daughter will like the closet space as their new room.

I believe I send up the partially melted down igloo.... just tell them it has WiFi access and a great view.
