Grimm, is it possible for you to repost video of peninsula on youtube. They are unavailable.

Found it, I just didn't see the update on the orchid board.

Where do you get your driftwood?? I love you viv.

Dizzle21 · #**574** (**permalink**) 02-12-2012, 05:47 PM

Its kinda pricey after shipping, but its some nice driftwood!

Sorry Grimm for asking the question on your thread.

Sorry Grimm for asking the question on your thread.

I had a box that was almost 4 ft long, 24" wide and about 30" tall come from thedriftwoodstore.com and shipping was only $17 but I am only about a 6 hour drive from him.

Arpeggio, if you have specific sizes or looks you are going for then just send him an email with your build information(tank size, inhabitants, etc.) Rod goes collecting quite often and he will specifically look for a piece for you on his next trip. The pieces i got from him were never posted on his site and were sent straight to me. I just described to him what I wanted over the phone and he sent me pics of the centerpiece to get my approval. He has an eye for driftwood, whether it's for Vivs, fish tanks, etc. He has had his fair share of aquariums over the years so he knows what to look for.

Sorry to post here Grimm, but it's one less you have to respond to

Love it!

I was going to ask you to repost the first 2 youtubes you made, but just read they are supposed to be back?! (those are my next stop)

The 'charts' you made with all the plants shown around the tank in the centre are smashing!!!

Thanks you *so* much for sharing!

Sorry to highjack your tread: all the so called 'eurostyle' tanks (the stand alone ones, the racks have a different arrangements of course) I've ever seen have a full hood/ not a half one since we do all the maintenance (feeding, pruning etc.) through 'the front door'.
So it's usually an upside-down box-like arrangement with the lights attached to it that is almost permanent in place -> much easier to get more light into your viv's that way.
And of course there is a vent as wel (usually in the back) to let the lamp-heated air escape and assist in the ventilation of the tank that way.

Your Giesemann is wonderfull, I've tried for years to get one for my fishtank, but they are almost as expensive as they are top of the line!

I swear I posted this here yesterday....Anyways...
I will be removing, replacing and adding plants over the next couple months, so here is a video to log the tank progress as of a couple weeks ago. It might be pretty boring, so you can just flip through the video to see different stages of the fogging schedule. Frog makes an appearance around the 5 minute mark to give a sense fo scale
