Hello,
If you don't mind, I have a few questions. I have constructed a terrarium (36"L x 18"W x 36"H). I am planning on housing Dendrobates Leucomelas, but I want to make it as natural as possible with native plants.
Tank is pictured (hopefully)
I have a false bottom, I plan on adding a lot more sphagnum moss underneath current tropical moss. Stream runs through center. Sides and back are Great Stuff then Black Silicone then Coco bedding and some driftwood and plastic plant pots. Many of the plants pictured have died.
The temperature is ~82 F during the day
Humidity is 85-95%
Lighting is three staggered 24" light strips with Ott-Lite natural light supplement T12 flourecent 20 Watt in each.
I have been considering switching to the Lights of America Model # 9267 65 Watt w/ 500 Watt output, but not sure.
What plants would you recommend to transform this tank info a natural haven for some Dendrobates Leucomelas.
Thank you,
Jon Sourp
