Display Paludarium Build

[VicSkimmr]

I'm probably about a month out from getting frogs. I need to make sure all the plants will do fine in their current positions first. The epiweb reminds me a lot of tree fern fiber. One moss starts growing on it you'd never know the difference.

I did some rearranging last night and I think I'm happy with placement. All but the Neo. Walking Tall should be getting plenty of light to keep their colors and the placements look more natural in relation to the wood, at least to me.


More plant shots






I'm loving this 50mm lens, BTW. It's my first fast lens and I'm totally in love.

By far my favorite tank ever Jason! I am about to try to build a 60 gal tall tank similar to yours and I have a few questions of you dont mind... 1. Where did you get your Epiweb from? And how thick is that stuff? Everywhere I have looked is out of the country. 2. What are you doing for water filtration? Lastly, what type of moss are you planning on getting to grow up the background?

Looking forward to seeing more of this one!

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Epiweb (ecoweb in the USA) can only be obtained from this vendor as far as I know

Also, some stuff has happened with this tank.

1. The bottom pane of glass apparently cracked somewhere, which forced us to convert this to a standard vivarium as I could never trust it to hold water now even if I did find the crack.

2. Some goodies arrived yesterday

I'll take some shots that are in better focus once they're all settled in and I can use the tripod

That sucks, It looked so great too. Awesome frogs though! Tank came out awesome!

[VicSkimmr]

Yeah but what can you do? That's what I get for attempting to build it myself. Now at least people will stop sending me hate mail (exaggeration) about the unnecessary risk I'm putting my frogs at by having deep water in the tank.

[Badger]

Haha. Either way it looks good, and took a lot of effort. What frogs/line did you decide on? (Not well versed in ID'ing darts yet)

Edit: Awesome house, and where did you get that red chair? It's awesome, I want one lol

[VicSkimmr]

I think we got it at Pier One, or maybe World Market. They're all over the place (Ikea too I think). They're called papasan chairs
