Frog closet

RX-731...hmm I'm thinking what is he looking at....oh yeah my junk box. Yeah I really only do functional tanks....unless its for a display in the living room or office. When it's on the frog rack I still want it to look nice but I don't really have time to do a bunch of elaborate setups. I will yank out some plants and put in some broms once I get them. These are just the standard HomeDepot variety plants for now. Hmm...Maybe I'll do something fancy with the 29 gallon. I'm picking up five baby Vents on Frog Day to go into the two empty tanks. Once grown I will only be keeping a pair of them so that will free up the other tank for the Tarapoto or Varadero.

Very nice Cheri. Your set ups are really great. I hope to see photo's of your baby Vents.

Here's a picture of one of my microscopic D.Ventrimaculatus. I picked up three babies at frog day. I went through the security check at the airport with them in my carry on luggage with no problem. They are so tiny the security guy was more interested in my plants that he never noticed them. I put them in a container with a bunch of cuttlings that I purchased.

They were out and about this morning so I was able to get a better picture.

Awesome new frogs Cheri, congrats!

Okay...so here's the deal. I've decided to ditch the four foot rack and get a five foot rack. If you notice the tanks are a little tight on the middle shelf. I've got the extra foot inside the closet so I'll have enough room. This would also allow me to upgrade the Azureus tank to a 40 breeder which would give them more floor space. I'm guessing I'm gonna go with the CFL lights.

I scored on a 36X18 Exo Terra on Craigs List for $50. It came with the Exo light fixture and some other things. It has heavy hard water spots on it but with lots of elbow grease I was albe to get it all off the sides and the front glass. Im not going to bother with the back panel as the background will cover it up. I have taken the plunge and purchased the LED's from Aaron at AAA Frogs. He assures me I'm going to love them. I will do a full posting on the whole light setup and everything once I get it all. He's going to make it real slick incorporating in the misting system tubes which stick up out of the top. I'm very excited.
