    My first Vivarium is done!!! Planted and light is set up now I just need to install the mistking. I’m quite familiar with orchids and philodendrons but it’s my first time owning bromeliads. Not sure if they may have sat too long in their travel pots before I installed them on their branches but...

    * Hello everyone! I’ve recently come upon an awesome opportunity. A friend of a friend is willing to ship me a large aquarium cabinet, about 80 gallons. Roughly 49”x20”x20”. * Is this too big for a first vivarium? I plan to get some hardscaping and tropical plant care practice first with a...

    Did my first build! So far pretty happy with it, but I can definitely improve on my technique with the backdrop. Did the Great Stuff foam backing with black silicone and some coconut husk pressed into it, and sunk some little plastic cups into it to hold some plants on the wall (drilled holes...

    My first dart frog vivarium is almost finished. It is a 44x55x60 cm (17x21x26 inches) that I built myself with help from my father. I plan to keep 3 leucomelas in it and the goal of this tank was to resemble a tree stump in the jungle. At this stage it looks quite barren but over time Ill add...

    Hi All, I am new to the board. I am a biology teacher and nature enthusiast and have recently begun my dart frog journey. I have just ‘finished’ my first bioactive 12x12x18 dart frog enclosure and am prepping it for a potential pair of Ranitomeya’s. I would love feedback and constructive...

    Hi everyone! I’m new to the hobby and am planning to make a custom bioactive vivarium in the coming weeks. I’m looking into purchasing a used 29gal (30x12x18) tank that I’m hoping to scape into something resembling tropical forests of Southeastern Asia. I’ve done a fair amount of research about...

    I realized the longer I put this off the bigger of a job it would be to start this thread so I better get to it asap ;) I've had an interest in dart frogs for 10 years +/-, and loved the idea of natural spaces "indoors" since I was a little girl (although my younger daydreams involved massive...

    I am new to the hobby and am setting up my first tank (20 gal high for a pair of leucs). I finished planting everything this week and set up an Exo-Terra Monsoon Solo misting system. I only have one nozzle set up in the upper right corner. Will that be enough to water all the plants in the tank...

    This is my fist attempt of a Vivarium build out. Basically followed the tank-less kit from Josh's frog as a template, purchased from a bunch of vendors trying to lower my $$ output. Looking to go with either "Cobalts" or "Banded" Leucs. Now just waiting for the Viv to pretty much have...

    Hi all, I guess this is the only forum I can post in. I’ve been pursuing this board foe a couple of months learning all I can. I just finished or almost finished my first tank.

    I am new to this and I am looking for a little guidance on building my first viv. I have been reading up on this for a month now, and I finally feel like I am beginning to grasp what is required for a nice viv. FYI, I am still a good distance away from starting this. It will be 24x18x24. It...

    Good morning all. My husband RicknMo and I have been doing a lot of reading here and other places for the past month or so. We have experience maintaining saltwater reefs tanks and have been talking about dart frogs for a few years now. This is the year for us. We've decided on D. Tinctorius...

    Hey guys so I was thinking about making a tank and using this shape for the sides I hope it attached properly but to describe it it would be approximately 14 inches deep or so *maybe deeper I have to measure when I get home* approximately 18~20 inches tall at the back approximately 16 tall...

    Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for months, and finally decided to build my own paludarium. I've thought of buying a 50-60 g tank, but it happened that I've found an old, rusty and hard stained aquarium in my gf's family garage. So, I guess this small 10 gallon tank would be my first...

    Hi Dendroboard, This is my first build and first post. I have been getting ideas for some time on dendroboard from countless posts. This would not have been possible without this community. I know, from many debated posts, that most frown on using foam and grout in vivarium constructions. So...
