Prunfarm Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 WOW! Love it. What are your plans for froggy sexy time? Are you just going to let them use the broms, or stash some 35mm film canisters around? Link to comment
Withers Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Both, but I won't be pulling any tadpoles Link to comment
photographer07 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 +1 i have been keeping darts for a while now and i love them. i have a trio of Dendro Azureus that i suspect are a 2.1 trio. they are about a year OTW so im thinking i will soon see tads. a couple of questions 1. is that epiweb you are using on the backround? 2. where are you getting the frogs from? The only concern that i have is darts dont swim so well, and will chase FF into the water so make sure you have plenty of ways out for them. P.S. This is a great looking setup and i look forward to seeing the end result. Link to comment
Loading Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Nice Viv! You should put a bird cage on top of it to complete the cycle Haha birds would be cool inside it actually, too bad they are pewp factories. This guy has birds in one... http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/members-f...-first-viv.html Link to comment
Squared Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 fancy little setup you got here. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yup! Nothing really new to note, but I got the door on so I decided to test out the fogger Link to comment
Squared Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 i wish i could afford something like this Link to comment
Withers Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I have less money tied up in this than I did in my 18 gallon ADA reef :shrug: I'm just now pushing $1k Kazooie, I have ferns coming in this week, that fan shall disappear from view soon hopefully. Link to comment
d9hp Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Frog sex. Man this is a sweet pad! Great work man...I am thoroughly impressed with how well planned this was. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks! It's turning out as about as good as I could have hoped so far Freshwater tank noob question: Should I use tapwater to initially fill the tank? I could get RO water for 50 cents a gallon, but apparently that's not really beneficial for freshwater tanks? The other option I have is city water, or the "filtered" tap water one of my LFS' sells at 50 cents a gallon (same as RO water, wtf?) Link to comment
Swanwillow Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It depends on the fish. for tetras and the like, tap water with the de-chlorination stuff works. I do NOT know if that's okay for froggies though. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 I don't think it would be an issue for them either, though I don't know for sure. I've always used RO or distilled in all their tanks to avoid mineral deposits. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 water, finally! it's still a bit cloudy, should be clear by tomorrow hopefully Link to comment
Jamie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've heard that RO water can actually be dangerous to use with amphibians. Their skin is so porous that very pure water can screw up they're electrolyte balance and kill them. That is, of course, if you were to put a frog in a cup of RO water, because obviously you're going to have some minerals/salts/organic compounds in your water since it's in a viv - heck, you just said the water was cloudy - so there's probably no need to worry about it. But just a thought. Other than that, keep up the awesome work! I'm really exited to see this thin mature - it's gonna be beautiful. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Looks awesome man. I can't wait to see it with livestock. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 apparently this aqua soil takes forever to clear up favorite ferns ever I already had to move this guy. I guess only an orchid or bromeliad will survive up in that corner Link to comment
Lee Van Reef Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Looking great! I've read that aquasoil takes forever to clear up and it leaks ammonia and nitrates if not pre cycled or something. Link to comment
Withers Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yup, I knew it leaked ammonia, but I had no idea it takes so long to clear. It's not a huge deal Link to comment
Lee Van Reef Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yea, I can't see why it would be. This is going to look awesome grown out. When are you adding the frogs? Link to comment
