Yeah ...it is.

I have one dilemma. There is a sale on Exo Terra 12x12x18 for $42 with a light fixture. The cost of each ten gallon converted is $35. The light fixture isn't a factor because I still want to get the LED lights instead. The Exo's are one gallon bigger..but I would have to get glass cut to cover up the top. So that's probably going to add another $4 each. And also i'm having Dane bring me four conversion kits to the frog party..I'm going to feel like scum if I cancel on him. Hmmm.....what do you guys think?

My only advice is to get what you want right from the get go. You're at the beginning of a huge project. It's important you start it right. Exo-Terras are nice as they have air vents, which your flies will love to escape from if you don't cover them well. And are a bit more bulky at the bottom. But they also have holes at the top if you want to *** misting kits... Less work to do overall... Converted 10Gs are slim but will require more work to start off with..

I've started leaning to-wards the fish tank setups with the door kits. I think they provide a better secure environment as far as frog security, controlling humidity better and the fact you can use them in several orientations. You can put together a very nice display row of tanks in relatively small amount of space with vertical 10's or 20s. The 40 gallon verticals seem to be a fantastic size and are proportioned very well. Pleasing on the eye I would say. The downside is you have to drill the glass for misting systems if you go that route. Also if you want to include things like the digital thermometers and such you either need to drill the glass for that or run the cables out the front door kit frame. Not the best option in my opinion as it takes away from the nice looking front. Your also limited to the number of frogs you can keep in the smaller tanks.

Even if you go with the Exo Terra there is nothing wrong with getting the door kits for the 10's. We all know your going to need them sooner rather then later!

LOL...Isn't that the truth.

Okay so I decided to go with the Exo Terras for a couple of reasons. First reason ...Mike. All his talk about drilling holes and installing the conversion kit just got me thinking....I don't have any time to do that. So the Exo Terras will have to do. I do have get some glass cut to cover up the dart tanks. One of them will be for my clown..at least I wont have to worry about vetillation on one tank. Anyway the five Azureus are here. I will post pictures when I get a chance. I also picked up two Auratus. Couldn't pass them up they were practically free. Again ....I'll post pics soon.
