    * Hi! I’m thinking of constructing a tank for a pair of tinctorius Brazilian yellow heads since I love their rainbow look. I’m rather passionate about the idea of a water feature, as I think it’s a great solution to the drainage issue that many dart keepers seem to have. Why drill or siphon when...
  2. Member's Frogs & Vivariums
    Recent member, but longtime love for and fascination with these amazing animals. With this project, I went ahead and ignored the received wisdom -- not exactly proud of it. The frogs seem to be enriched by the water-wall in some ways -- leucomelas climb anything and everything, and they chill in...

    Hi Planning out my second viv at the moment, for 3 Mint Terribilis, and wanted to include a water feature. Now, I've heard that water features tend to mold pretty easily from a few people, but wanted to ask here specifically since it's a board for darts. I was planning on a pretty small section...

    Hello Dendroboardians, I saw this technique in one of Troy Goldberg's videos: he used a filter mat instead of substrate in one of his paludarium builds. He described it as a common European technique. I found it looked great, but it's more on the uncommon side for building a paludarium, I...

    Building a 2x2x2 cube viv. Need ideas and pictures to build. I just need to fill my mind with a few more concepts before i start. Wanting to include a small water stream if possible. And yes i know the stigma around it i just need to be 100%. Also going to use sump to help with filtration and...

    Hey! I have been reading everything I can find for a week and unlikely to stop any time soon, but there's been a few topics I haven't seen a consensus or enough detail on, so figured I'd ask some questions. (also, a lot of what I've been reading is 10+ years old.... I'm sure the knowledge has...

    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...

    Today I'd like to share with you my (nota bene) pet project - a biotope vivarium inspired by the Loreto region in Peru. All non-moss, non-algae plants, and vertebrate inhabitants, were demonstrated within the borders of the region. Sadly, it's not possible to realistically recreate a piece of...

    Hi, I have been reading through quite a few build threads to figure out the best way to construct the waterfall for my 20H paludarium I am making. Unfortunately, I haven't found one that goes into detail on how to construct the river/waterfall section directed back into the pond. Tank will...
  10. New Members Introductions
    Hi all, I am a new member and I am building my first vivarium. I will construct this vivarium using a 36x18x18 Exoterra terrarium. I am presently debating which poison dart frog morph the vivarium will house. I have many questions, but I really want to know if water circulation is better for a...

    Hello everyone! Well, I am trying to get back into the hobby! I am not sure how this build will turn out. I bought a Zoo Med 18 x 18 X 24. A Very nice piece of Ghost Wood from Mike Rizzo. Cork Bark Background. Great stuff pond and stone foam. Faux rocks from Scott Allen! where the water...
  12. General Discussion
    This is my first post in a long time. I had to start a new account as I don't remember what my last one was. Haha. So I have a good deal of experience with breeding darts (mainly auratus) and mantellas (betsileo). I had to sell my buddies and their enclosures a few years back when I was...

    Hi, I'm planning out my first vivarium build and I'd like to put in a waterfall on the back wall. The tank will be 24x18x24 and have a Great Stuff/wood background using mostly cork flats, and a piece or two of Malaysian driftwood for the waterfall. My main question is, how do I go about making...

    So I'm planning on building a vivarium for my group of 4 marbled newts. Since they are still young and newts do enjoy a lot of time on land i figured a divided 36"18"18" exo terra would be perfect. The tank will just be mostly moss, ferns, and cork bark branches. Excited to use my new Finnex...

    Hello all, I am new to the forum and don't currently own any darts. I have been researching though and would like to know opinions on which species would be good for a newbie. I have a 20 long viv I recently planted, nothing living in it right now, and I thought I might like to keep a couple...

    I'm currently building by background out of extruded polystyrene (insulation board). I plan on painting it, either with acrylics mixed with waterproof masonry paint, or regular acrylic paint and using a spray-on silicone to make it water resistant. The spray-on silicone is the stuff I use to...
