I have been having a used fish tank sitting empty for some time now. I have finally decided to go ahead and build it so I guess Ill post my process along the way. This viv will have either a waterfall or drip wall and a small pond around a stump. I am going to create it with multiple layers and have a 2 or 3 sided background of GS, cork, and clay.
Playing around with wood placement
Any thought on the wood placement would be great too.
Looking good Chris. I guess you changed directions. I know you were looking to put that big piece of wood in the front left. I'm finally getting one of the 40's put together I got from you.

What frogs are you planning to put in here Chris?
Its a surprise
. Might decide to put them in the 65 vert though and do a group of Leucs in this one though.
Guess we'll have to wait and see! A 65 vert would be an awesome tank.

Yes, they just started breeding again for me :-)
Very nice Viv! so whats the secret to have the frogs not move for the camera ? lol i guess your frogs are photogenic!
How do you plan on draining the viv when it gets too full?

Patients, quick shutter speed, and an extra hand to help in case one try's to escape helps a lot!!! The tank is drilled so all I do is open the ball valve and drain to the level I want.
