Very nicely done!
Is that a pond area on the right side?

Thanks guys!
Cindy- yes, that is a pond area. It makes it much nicer to syphon water from the tank. That seems to be the corner the frogs like to hang out in most. I'm hoping that since I've changed it up a bit they will find other places to hunt springs.

I left some of the broms where they were since they are pupping. I accidentally broke a pup off of one at the start.

Looking really sweet man! Give it time and im sure that wood will have cool looking moss sprouting all over it.
Overall, the tank looks pretty dark, yet you have some amazing colour from the broms. Is it just the camera making it look darker then it is? What lighting do you have anyways, and how far is it from the top? Thanks bud.

I'm sure it will! I scrubbed off a bunch of moss growth when I was cleaning it. The wood that I took out had been in there 2 years, and has moss growth all over it. I just dont have a tank to put it in!
The picture is darker than in real life. I wanted to make sure the brom color showed, and in pictures they get washed out. The top photo was shot in TV mode with an exposure time of 1/40.
My light is a Zoo Med Aquasun T5 HO fixture, with one bulb that is 5000K, and one that is 6500K. Currently it is just sitting on the feet included with the fixture, so it is maybe 2.5 inches from the top. I plan on going to Homedepot today to work on raising the lights a bit, simply to make access easier to the viv, and reduce the heat output. This fixture seems much hotter than my Current Nova Extreme unit was.
Once this grows in any the plants take over I think it's going to look really good.
