I have always wanted to build one of those fancy all glass tanks so I finally did.
The tank is 24"x10"x10" which is roughly 10.4 gallons.
Designing the Scape:
Added the Plants:
The Final shot (2 days old):
You could easily keep a frog in this setup, though that is not my intention with this tank.
Other Info:
Misting > 2x daily with distilled water
Lighting > Single t5
Substrate > Aquasoil/Amazonia/Powersand mix
Decor > Manzanita and Lace Rock
Plants > The tank is 90% aquatic plants and 10% tropical plants
Plant List: Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Utricularia graminifolia, Fissidens fontanus, Brachythesium sp.(moss), Taxiphyllum sp.(moss), Staurogyne repens, Cryptocoryne parva, Cryptocoryne wendtii (green and bronze), Cryptocoryne walkeri lutea, Anubias congensis, Anubias nana, Ficus pumila var. 'quercifolia', Hygrophilia sp. 'Low Grow', Hygrophilia polysperma, Lobelia cardinalis, and an unknown fern/moss that might be a Selaginella sp.
IT'S GROW TIME!
