New tank!

[Punkfish]

Heey guys!

It's been a while since i posted here because of the busy times and because i was decorating my brand new tank!
i have put alot of work into this.. i went from a Exo-terra tank ( 65x45x45 CM) to a custom build one (50x120x35 CM ). i have what i always wanted and that is; Water to land, multiple levels of ground etc.
i will stop the jibber jabber and show you guys some pictures!

The tank.

The water stream/fall.. ( made of a tube behind a piece of driftwood letting water stream over it.. looking nice and natural )


Here are some of the frogs that i could take a picture of while they were there hehe,

This might be a dumb question, but I'm still new to the vivarium hobby (and am loving it more and more with every post and article I read).

What kind of lights are you using? And what is keeping them from A) Burning the plants, and B) possibly burning your frogs?

Hi zathura,

i use 40 watts spot lights at the moment, i used to have a red bulp heat lamp but it was infact burning the plants.
These spot lights do infact generate a good amount of heat for the frogs and lizards i have and they dont burn plants that quickly.

The frogs like to sit quite close to the lamps i noticed.. some times for hours straight.
if it does get to hot for them they will move away from the lamp

i hope this helped you zathura!

I love your tank.

Thank you
