15 Gallon Vertical Build

[DonLisk]

They are the Monkey Pods from Black Jungle. Its hit or miss on them holding water but they do make nice hides and accents. The ones embedded in the foam hold water well since the foam seals them off.

Now for some of my thoughts on this viv.
I am probably going to order the AAAFrogs LED lighting for this viv, but I did come across locally a Saltwater Tank LED lighting system that would fit across two tanks if I did a sister tank to match. Price was sweet but not sure if the color spectrum would be best for a viv. We know the AAAFrogs one are.


Next I'm thinking about additional plants for this viv since its going to need some coverage and vines.
I'm looking at the following as options (Suggestions/Comments?):
Neoregelia "Blushing Tiger
Orthophytum saxicola
Cryptanthus 'Cafe au lait'
Korean Rock Fern
Biophytum sp
Adiantum caudatum - Trailing Maidenhair

Don,

I love the monkey pods they are great places for the frogs to hide in. Plus they are real interesting to people. They always ask what they are.

As for plants. I think creeping fig is a must. Its just about indestructible and will fill the back walls up nicely. Some of the other vines tend to get stringy. I think the leaves of the fig are just the right size for the viv's.

Hey Mike, I have a few cuttings in the viv, trying to get the roots to grab the wall.

Love creeping fig.

I use one light for my sister 10gals and it works nicely. 18" bulb

I'll have to build a net around the tank for these since they are great escape artist and will leap out of the tank at random as some here have experienced.

I have no idea what your talking about!

Great build Don! As always it's a pleasure to see your work.

Don, I want to thank you for posting this fantastic photo diary. I doubly appreciate the fact that you put the photos in your albums here on frogforum. A lot of the time people post photo diaries using photo albums on places like flickr, but they delete or move the photos months afterwards, leaving an "empty" thread behind on forums (this happens to all forums, not just frogforum.net). So 2x thank you!
