yah man, pics are a must!

also you dont know how many you got in there? rough idea at all?

That is sweet, I love the density of broms! I started one at the begining of the year.....I just this last week or so got around to drilling and planting it. I may get a stock hood just yet, I'm just worried about the summer heat here in California. Are you still running both lamps on a full 12 hour photoperiod?

I'm thinking there are 7 Vents. Two of them are extra large, which I assume are the breeding females.

I modded the hood & it's now running 2-27 watt 6.5K PC's & 1-70 watt 10K metal halide. My wife is not too happy with the fan noise from the extra fans I had to add to the hood to keep temps down. I'm running the 2-27 watt PC's on a 12 hour photoperiod & the 1-70 watt MH on a 6 hour mid-day photoperiod. If I know we are going to have a heat wave I just turn off the timer to the 70 watt MH until the heat wave is over.

I bet your reef tank looks really good too. Nobody coming from the reptile or amphibian back ground modifies and is familiar with lights, fans, and what not with these little miro-ecosystems. I bet you got a killer reef tank. or maybe a Takashi Amano look-a-like planted tank.

Good to see such success. I'm curious to see updated pics too.

Hey Quaz

Here is a link to my NC6 nano-reef tank. I used to have the link in my signature, but it doesn't seem to allow more than 100 letters since the site was redone a while back.
I have not had much success with fresh water nano-sized planted tanks yet. They seem to take a lot of work to keep the plants growing well & algae free. I am in the planning stages of a little zero-edge type 1/2 gallon fresh water planted tank using LED lighting and low light slow growing plants. I have most of the stuff rounded up for the project and hopefully will have time over the holidays to work on the setup.
By the way I noticed you're from Broken Arrow, I'm originally from the other side of Tulsa, in Sand Springs ... so a big howdy-do to you.

I thought I better get around to posting some updated pictures of the NC24 vent viv, it's been a long time
Looks like I have 7 vents now (started with 4) & I did see new eggs last week



Front view, if you look closely you will see a vent in one of the broms



I like the way the Jewel Orchid stems wind around the bottom of the viv



You can kind of see the Xmas moss wall on the back side



Here is a vent hunting for flies


I got tired of my light lens cracking after a few months when I opened it so I added a hinge

Looks brilliant mate...

Its really changed alot, looks soo jungle like.

I do agree the roots winding around the ground looks very cool, reminds me a bit of Jumanji haha

Welldone and congrats on the baby vents.
