Interesting could you post some info on the tanks? Are they custom made? Size? Also I like the use of wood on the racks, I need to do that my self.

I keep thinking to make some plywood tanks, and then use glass fronts.

hi kyle.
i made the cages myself out of acrilic (yes some worping but not enough to notice). i have two sizes 15w X 17d X 18t for my pumilio and larger frogs, and 11 1/4w X 17d X 19t for all my thumbnails. they are front opening false bottom. each cage has a waterfall, automatic misting system, fogging system, and all cages have drains into my house pluming.
the wood is 1/8" meline board to cover the lights. its held on with zip ties so i can lift it up to access the lights etc.
thanks troy

I wish I had a frog room, or built in misting system/fogger, and drains to house plumbing, and front opening tanks, and waterfalls, and nifty zip ties and such...oh well I guess when I buy a house (in 5+ years) I'll have that cool stuff

So the black sides are acrylic? Also do you have foggers running to all of them or just a couple, I can see the foggers on top.

Very nice setup, Mine is slowly growing, and I am thinking about getting another rack, but need a place to put it.

Extremely well done! Obviously a labor of love.

I would love to see a closeup of how you built those tanks! 8)
