I keep trying to resist the urge to make a joke about giving your frogs crabs... lol.

The more I read, the more I think my community set-up is falling apart at the seams! Well at least for the herps!
Been there, done that. I wanted an anole in my 10g, but it didn't end up working out because of how much water I have. :(

Just to throw it out there, what about Dart Frogs? I don't entirely know what I want for the herps and I have a feeling it will be switching around quite a bit. I would like some variety and dart frogs at least have different color morphs right? Can they swim?

How deeps is your water area? I think some might end up drowning or whatnot.

Also, hybrids are frowned upon in the hobby. I wouldn't be mixing color moprh

Well ok then! Nope! The water is going to be about 6-7 inches deep and I don't want to kill my frogs. Nor do I want to be frowned upon :lipssealedsmilie:! Honestly, I thought it was selective breeding, so I am glad you told me!

LOL! Yeah, I've been browsing also for ideas on my palu but most aren't gonna mix together. I almost ended up getting FBTs but I'm deathly afraid of froggies.

Great update!!!!

Update!!!!!!

After a wild goose chase last night I got a piece of glass cut to size! I think this is better described through pics so here goes!


Tank before!

One 36" by 12" piece of glass cut in two pieces. I only needed one but oh well!




Using a cutting block I held it up so I could put the silicone on the bottom. (or was it the top??????)

Wow, that looked a lot nicer when the picture was small!

Bottom is siliconed!

Now here comes the hard part, not getting silicone all over the bottom while I get it in place!


Above view, and yes I wanted it to be diagonal.
*Notice the little warning tag that says not to fill with water got "accidently" removed!

Not quite as messy as resealing the tank but not "clean" either! I also made a sponge filter, collected pebbles from around all the junk in my fish area and cut a piece of screen!

I can't wait to get this started! :grinyes:

I hope to be able to start filling it Monday and at the same time I will do the false bottom!
