Default looking for pics of 10 gallon invert pumilio tanks

Hello,
I am about to set up 8, ten gallon invert tanks. I just want to see how others set up their tanks. I was thinking about just having broms, and creeping fig- with a coco, super soil substrate with magolia leaves.
Thank you,
TQ

I think vert tens are overated, they hardly have any floorspace, and even though pums will use vertical space, mine spend lots of time on the ground foraging through the leaf litter for woodlice, and springtails. Why not use 18 talls? They give you extra height without compromising floor space.

Mine are in 18gl talls and they dont use the floor space. They are always in the upper half. Plus, I like to have the front opening, vrs the top opening.
TQ

I am planning on doing 20 verts for my lamasi type frogs and my intermedius. Out of those type frogs, I am planning on keeping 4 frogs togeather- for the pums, I am planning of only keeping a pair togeather.

yeah that sounds good. Plus if your like me and you only have so much space the 10s will give you more room for more tanks.

Not the best pic, but the top right 3 house pums, and the bottom right corner will also house a pair of bastis.

Dane,
Thanks for the pics. It looks like on the upper shelf your using blue atenic pc bulbs. If so, have you seen better plant groth or colors in your frogs. What plants do you use in the inside?
TQ

No, actually that's just an illusion. I'm using normal 2x 5500k t8s per shelf, but they've given me good growth in all my Neoregelia and mosses.
