    Default Display Paludarium Build

    I've finally gotten started on it

    Original space


    Glass. It's all 1/4" thick regular plate glass. The angle is deceiving, but the piece in the top left is 3' x 4'.


    Holes drilled (whew)


    More to come...

    Partially constructed. I decided to stop at this point so I could install the wood once it comes in to make things easier to work with.


    Mocking up the false bottom and supports
    Supports and overflow (also background installed!)


    False bottom in place

    Yes it is, and thanks guys! The fan controller controls up to 5 fans independently. It also comes with temperature probes, but due to the location of where it's going to be mounted I won't be able to use them.

    Right now the plan is a group of Ranitomeya vanzolinii. Depending on how that goes (how much space they take up, how visible they are), I might make it a multi-species exhibit and try some type of Amereega in with them. This tank is approximately 180 gallons, so I think with enough visual barriers and niches it could support 2 types of frogs, but only time will tell. The vanzos are going to be the primary inhabitant though.

    Here's a couple of stand pictures. I'm currently painting it so more pics will follow

    It's maylasian driftwood, I got it from Poison Dart Frogs | Food Fruit Flies Supplies Vivarium Terrarium Moss Habitats | Wood Vine Cork Tubes | Consultation Sales by Vivarium Concepts

    I shot them an email telling them what I was looking for and they totally exceeded my expectations At first I placed a large order for some ghostwood through save-on-crafts.com, but what I got was, well, rather pathetic. So I sent it back and went with vivariumconcepts instead.
