Anyways, I agree I do tend to like to keep babies in something smaller than the 65 gallon but I think the ten will be just too small. As far as the yellow of the great stuff showing ...it wont be. First skim a thin layer of black silicone on the glass, let it dry and then do the great stuff. Then when the greatstuff is dry and carved put the black silicone over it and while the silicone is wet pack on the "dry" coco fiber. You wont see any yellow. A razor blade will get the excess silicone off the glass. They also sell black GS but it will not eliminate the silicone step. I keep my pump in my tank. I just have it off to the side with a rock over it for easy access. I do not bury the tubes but instead hide them under moss, leaf litter or behind plants. I would not have to destroy my tank to get it out. You can use anexternal canister filter to pump the water but you do have to have one that is strong enough to pump the water out if a 24 tall. They can get expensive and not really needed. I hope you show us the build as it goes. Also...one last thing. Only use the GS and silicone that is for windows and doors. Do not use the kitchen and bath stuff because they have mold inhibitors that are harmful to the frogs.


Hahahhha ok maybe ill just end up buying a single thumnail species for my 10 gallon and just holding off on the luecomelas until my large viv is seeded and completed!

Great advice on using the silicone on the glass to cover the yellow. I found myself thinkng " Why the hell didnt i think of that!??" lol! I suppose that is why i am here asking questions =)

As for the pump i think i will do something similar. Im yet to design the waterfall but i will definitely keep all that in mind.

I plan on creating step by step post full of images on the creation of my main viv. Hopefully it turns out as well as some of the peoples did on here lol! If i run into any problems i will surely run right back to this forum lol!

Thanks again!
