simple tank

[sethshaun]

I got the Leucs from JL-exotics in California.

ps- leaves added to list, magnolia and live oak grow locally and naturally here! and some type of small persimmons. i also added strips/chunks of cypress bark from the boiled knees, they make some decent caves!

thanks yall!

The tank looks really nice! Luecs are great starter dart frogs. Enjoy this new hobby.

Awesome, because I'm going to pick up two frogs from JL. I'm glad to hear he raises active frogs.

Simple tank?

Where?

This is most certainly not a "simple" tank, when I think of simple, I think of a tank with some litter and plant cuttings thrown in...

You can see youve thought about this, and it looks absolutely brilliant mate.

Those leucs are gonna love it, Glad you got the pics working.

That viv of urs looks really good.

Well done, I expected something no way as good as this wen it said "simple viv".

Great job!

Very inspiring! I'm looking into doing my first build. I was just going to do a plain 29 gallon tank but after seeing this I may have to go with a vert. Did you order that viv off the website or from a dealer?

I believe that Zoo Med cube came from a local dealer called The Reptile Shack. I have 4 more but of the Exo Terra variety. Those were purchased at Petsupermarket for quite a lot less. Both are very nice, I like to "fine tune" the tanks all the time so the front doors are great! Decent ventilation but screen needs to be placed over the front vents or fruit flies will escape.


What I meant by "simple tank" was no fancy lights, ( which I'd like to have) no water feature, (want one) no clay balls or false bottom(there is still good drainage)and no true jungle flora( sure wish I had some of that!) The "Master Tank" that I am building in my head will have all that and more!...(and probly be a pain in the arse to keep) and expensive. What I have now allows me to be very entertained and its cheap and very maintaineable. There for I am happy! (But always a tinkerer!)
Thanks all for the kind words!

Here is what it looks like 14 months later. I am sorta proud of the fern in the top right hand corner. It was picky and always seemed to get brown at the tips, but about 8 months later it seemed to acclimate after it lost all the foliage. (Maybe im more proud of my abundant patience My next tank will have better air flow and better lighting. Thanks for looking.

two year update. tried some different plants. kept some, and tossed others. couple pictures before and after trimming. Very low maintenance tank. I let it grow out way too much...but no apparent problems so far.
