Fixed your post for you - embedded your viddy. Please don't yell at me
Looks fantastic !!....love the plumbing. Be careful of too much ultrasonic misting. Remember, these animals don't live in a cloud forest.
Video hosted in Youtube Belgium ?
This tank looks even better in person. Its also a lot heavier then it looks
