So this is the tank I will be raffling off and the MDG meeting I will be hosting on Feb. 11th. It is a 10 gallon vert and this is the construction journal.

False bottom somewhat made and treefern panel siliconed in.

Water feature finished and cork panels up. I siliconed in many many rocks to make it and I used brown silicone.

Cork log attached with brown silicone

Front pane of glass attached on with acrylic hinges

Things for holding the door shut tightly. I dont know what they are I got them from my dads house.

Fully planted and ready to grow in alittle before the meeting.

Hope you enjoy

Glad you like it. I wish I could keep it. LOL.

Phishingpete, I take it you like the band Phish. They are one of the greats.

Do you know what the "palmy" plant is in the front left?

Looks like Neanthe bella. You can find them at Wal-mart or a nursery.

It is a Balla Palm. They grow to around 4'+. They are not good viv. plant.
Later and Happy Frogging,

I disagree. They are a great viv plant. I have had one in my Tinc tank for almost 2 years now and its only grown 2-3 inches. Alot of plants outgrow vivs. You have to keep them under control and prune.
