Looks like you got a nice project to keep you busy for a little bit. I can't wait to see how they turn out and I'm sure their future inhabitants will be thrilled too.

Those are 11.25 (w) x 23(d) x 17(h). Dustin decided to have me run double vents on the top due to the width/depth ratio and I think it's gonna work out nicely for him.

I got the cork bark mosaic attached to the back on 2 of them. If all goes well, the other two tomorrow. My supplies from Folius should arrive tomorrow and I can get a better idea how these are going to get set up.

Mark, are you close enough to the swamps to be able to find some nice root structures to increase surface area? I have a couple extra pieces of driftwood up here if you're interested, and with it being flooding season there's going to be a more along the river. *hijack done*
Dustin, are all of those going on another rack? I saw your frogroom thread. How many tadpoles do you have in those cups now? It looks like you're having a lot of fun down there right now! I can't wait to move back to the south, it's supposed to snow here today!

I could actually get a couple of big cypress knees, easily done here but I am thinking of just filling the back wall with more cork bark to make it more enclosed, should give the frogs some added security as well. It just get a little expensive with these 36" high tanks, I am anxious to see what Dustin has done.....the suspense is killing me!!!

Mark, unfortunately I did not take any pictures last night after attaching the cork pieces. It's just small pieces on the back glass that I will stuff sphagnum between. These 4 little vivs do not even compare to those 2 big ones you have as they are only 11" wide and only 12" or so of the height is used due to substrate.
I will take pictures tonight when I get home and get the sphagnum stuffed between the pieces.

Those epiweb branches look like coral. LOL
You could smear a light layer of silicon and powder over w coco fiber. It holds up well and would hide the purple.
