TJ_Burton Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I am looking forward to your scape/background build photos. Link to comment
IAShane Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I just buzzed through this, and I gotta say awesome!! I had a big DIY viv drawn up years ago, and never bit the bullet. I was going to use plywood and sheets of rubber to create the box, with panes of sliding glass for the doors. Complete with pool, waterfalls, the whole nine yards... Wish I'd have done it. Maybe one day, but in the meantime I'll live vicariously through this one. Link to comment
RollaJase Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tree frogs are not really my thing(though they are really cool)as they are nocturnal so they just sleep all day-but dart frogs are out and about all day long and fun to watch. I'd love to do dart frogs but as far as I am aware they are illegal to keep as pets in Australia so tree frogs would be the next best thing. Link to comment

Giga Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am looking forward to your scape/background build photos. Coming soon-I hope Awesome!! Thank you I just buzzed through this, and I gotta say awesome!! I had a big DIY viv drawn up years ago, and never bit the bullet. I was going to use plywood and sheets of rubber to create the box, with panes of sliding glass for the doors. Complete with pool, waterfalls, the whole nine yards... Wish I'd have done it. Maybe one day, but in the meantime I'll live vicariously through this one. Anytime and you should do it-this is the next step from reefing, either a planted setup or a vivarium I'd love to do dart frogs but as far as I am aware they are illegal to keep as pets in Australia so tree frogs would be the next best thing. this is true-didn't know they were illegal there Get a cane toad... Not. Kill those effers Funny thing is that those who live in areas infected by Cane Toads play golf with them haha. that......sounds....messy I've seen docus where old people put dog food out for them because they enjoy the frogs' company lol lol :update: Got a gaggle of cork tubes-some of those are 32" long https://imageshack.com/i/gi8t3lj'> Also started staining some wood(needs another coat)-this is going inside of the cutout to help frame the tank and give it a darker feel. Please excuse my garage, it's a disaster with all these builds right now. https://imageshack.com/i/nb49kfj'> Link to comment
RK_tek Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Build looks great. And if it's stocked like your last viv, it'll be a show stopper Link to comment
hey Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 God i can't wait to move to a house that I plan to live in for more than 5 yrs. I am going to do some serious fish room renovation. Makin me so jealous with all the fun wall demo. Link to comment
Giga Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Build looks great. And if it's stocked like your last viv, it'll be a show stopper it's going to be more more jungley and not as colorful. I'm going to make more like a real rain forest and pretty dense. Because of the multi species I want to make sure they feel comfortable with other tank mates. Though I will have some stand out plants as well God i can't wait to move to a house that I plan to live in for more than 5 yrs. I am going to do some serious fish room renovation. Makin me so jealous with all the fun wall demo. Yeah I love looking at my creations-My wife calls it a zoo exhibit-I call it......well......a zoo exhibit too Link to comment
