Hello fellow frogger
All advice and tips welcomed
This is going to be my last tank i will build till I am finished with college.(For now
).This will hold a pair of pumilo, most likely some basti's. I hope this build will be inspirational to others and a place to of discussion and help for new members/long term members. I hope you all will enjoy this build and follow because I have some questions along the way.
Design: This will have a center piece of a tree trunk with branches going into the ground. The tree will go from the top of the tank all the way to the bottom. I want this tank to be seen from all angles to view the frogs and this masterpiece. I will have a small Conner piece deposit area for natural affect and from depositing tads( I hope). The tree trunk and branches will be piping that are bent to match the shape I wish to project.. Then covered with Eco web to promote moss growth and have a realistic look. I plan on having a false bottom that is 1inch or two high.
Tank: Going with a 15 gallon column with custom canopy for the top to hid all the equipment and a bottom covering to make it look nice
Lighting: I plan on getting either a double hood with two 6500k bulbs or A round dome with LED lights. Or even something completely different, Not sure how I’m going to light this tank. Only for now
Misting: I will Have the Mistking system with maybe 4 nozzles to cover ever side of the tree. Not sure if that’s too much or not. I wanted to do the double nozzle one in the front aimed at the tree and the one in the back.
Circulation: I want to get a small fan or too for recirculation in the tank, My plan is to get 2 curved pipes and middle piece. Then put the fan in the middle piece and have the pvc pipe go into the tank. Will explain later.
Plants: Not too sure on the type of plants or how many plants, All I know is a lot of bromeliads.
Temperature: I plan on getting a monitoring system to make sure them temperature and the humidity is absolutely perfect.
Finally I hope you enjoy and stay put. I will be going out for the tank tomorrow.
