    Does anyone have any opinions on the usage of Hygrolon and or drylok for covering backgrounds? I've been making my backgrounds the foam, silicone, then cocofiber method and I was just curious to pick some brains and see if it was maybe time for a construction change. I've heard that mosses and...

    So, I have a 1.2 trio of Golden Phyllobates terribilis. The females eat each others eggs. I thought that I could put two 10 or 15 gallon tanks side by side and create a passage with 3 inch PVC pipe or semitransparent piping. I would use a ball valve, or custom valve(I am very experienced as an...

    A quick browse through some old posts made me realize that not many people know exactly how beefy of a stand to build and wonder if it will collapse once the viv is placed on top. I dont have any vivs or frogs yet, but when I do Ill likely end up with the amazonia which is roughly 24x18x24. I...

    Since I finally got to work on my 24 x 18 x 18 ExoTerra I picked up off Craigslist, I decided it would be appropriate to start a build log, mainly for my own documentation. I plan to update this periodically as I get components finished, so fair warning it might be a couple months before...

    Ahoy, dendromateys! Newbie here with a question about construction. I am just starting a project to convert a 35 gallon hexagon aquarium in to a vivarium with a DIY great stuff background. My question is, how many of the sides should be covered by background? Obviously covering more sides...

    Hi everyone! I currently have a couple 18x18x18 exo terra tanks that are used as temporary group homes for juvenile varibilies and imitator frogs. They have a false bottom that allows for water to drain through and be drained once a week. They way I set it up is that we use condiment cups to...

    I apologize ahead of time for the presence of links instead of images. I've tried numerous times in different threads to get the images to work. After reviewing the rules of the site, I think I have not posted enough times to be allowed to insert direct images. I hope you still enjoy the thread...

    First time builder here for dart frogs (though fairly experienced in building for other reptiles, amphibians, and fresh water aquariums). I'm wondering how people add in a water portion into their vivarium by making their false bottom floor level drop below the false bottom/water reservoir...

    Looooong time lurker and first post! I'm trying to recreate Raf's vine background ( https://www.dendroboard.com/forum/parts-construction/57563-pics-my-new-constructed-vivarium-15.html#post522377 ) because it looks undeniably amazing. I'm trying to stay as true to the formula and technique as...

    Okay, I've looked all over, but can't figure this out. I like the idea of making a corner pond for drainage and aesthetic, but I do not understand how to go about constructing one. I've seen "slope the false bottom" but that's it. What do you do with your substrate, or substrate barrier? is...

    This is a project I've been mulling over for almost a year, and finally got the time to jump into it. My ex left this old quilt chest at my house, and everytime I look at it all I see is a viv. I forgot to get the dimensions but it's a lil smaller than a standard 20gl. I started by taking it...

    Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to buy a new 18x18x24 exo Terra and I would like to try a different method for background construction instead of the usual GS. I was looking around, and a clay background seems very interesting because you can sculpt it just the way you want. I read you can use...

    We have this half an acre of land somewhere in Jackson and I was thinking of building a Zoo Exhibit. For business as well as for conservation. Some friends recommended I should go with COST of Wisconsin. Anybody knows something about them? It would really help. Thanks a lot!
  14. General Discussion
    I got a free 75 gallon aquarium off of craigslist and I am still undecided on what to do with it. Today I got the idea of a completely self sufficient deep water paludarium including a food chain in the water and on land. I want to have dart frogs or newts be the primary predators on land and...
  15. Member's Frogs & Vivariums
    Hi Everyone, I am setting up a new dart frog vivarium and I am having one huge issue with the great stuff foam. I applied the foam about three days ago and I turned the tank upright this morning and noticed that the foam in the back is still in almost a liquid form. It is not leaking out...

    Hey Everyone, I wanted to share a build I have been working on the last month for a co-worker who wanted a tank for his living room. He says its for his 2 daughters but he secretly wants it for himself! :D ....He will figure out soon that frogs and vivariums are really cool and nothing to...

    First build, all from scratch. Cut glass myself from window scraps. Sides, top, and bottom are tinted. I figured this would work great since I plan to illuminate from behind (the back is normal transparent glass) and use cleverly placed mirrors to make the light come from the front, without the...

    Hello everyone! I am building a 20 gallon, 24 long, 12 wide, 18 deep. It is mostly inspired by 'the peninsula' by Justin Grimm. I am looking to get 3 or 4 Epipedobates Anthonyi dart frogs. After alot of research I finally started the build, I will continue to post as the project progresses and...
