If I could only have one tank, this would be it!

Thank you so much! It's still a work in progress. It's my first viv. It is in my 16 year old son's room. He helped me build it.
Thinking thru my plans for my 2nd viv to build next year. My daughters would love me to put one in their room. It will be two towers...38 inch tall verts with a flat screen TV in between them. It will be this adapted over...


Thanks again, Chris.

Very cool! I like both! Okay, so what material did you use for the waterfalls and how do you get the water not to soak through to the dirt? I tried to do something like this and I thought that pond foam (the black kind) would not let water seep through, but I was wrong. It soaks the foam and the water gets to my substrate so I had to end up using just java moss for my bottom.

How ya doing buddy? I'm happy to see things going so well for you.
Wait till all those male leucs start calling lol. With 12 of them you're gonna have at least 4-5 males if not more. I bet you'll get 2-3 calling at anyone time. That's gonna sound sweet.

Are you really converting that piece of furniture into two vivs? That would be pretty amazing if you pulled that off. Always be a little wary of using furniture for a viv. Only because that's not what it was meant for so you may run into problems with the wood, or finish on the furniture. You're a smart guy and I'm sure you've already thought about that though.
In any case...can't wait to see your next build progress over time.

Wow they are definitely love that!! If I had a television in between 2 vivs I know I would never even turn the tube on lol! I would just sit and relish in the great view of the vivs!!
