This thread is a journal for my two 18x18x18 Zoo Meds. They were both recently planted and stocked but were seeded with microfauna weeks before the arrival of plants and frogs. Here are some details about them.
Tanks: Two 18x18x18 Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrariums with glass covering all but one inch of the screening in the front to keep the glass clear.
Lighting: Fishneedit 3 ft. T5 HO fixture. Holds 2 x 39w bulbs, 6700K. Photoperiod of 12 on/12 off per day.
Substrate: 2 inch layer of hydroton followed up by a few inches of ABG mix with leaf litter on top. Leaf litter is regular oak and live sand oak.
Background Material: The right tank has GS/Silicone/Tree fern fiber while the left tank has GS/Silicone/Peat.
Plant List:
Left tank: Pellonia ''Waffle'', Begonia partita, Pilea involucrata, Philodendron wendimbe, Wandering Jew Bolivian, Begonia sp., Christmas Moss.
Right tank: Neoregelia 'Hot Pink', Neoregelia ampullacea 'Rio de Janeiro', Neoregelia 'Grapevine', Ficus Pumila, Peperomia angulata, Peperomia sp., Begonia sp., Wandering Jew Bolivian, Several Plants that I need ID of that come from plant package from Brooklyn Dart Frogs.
Frogs: Left tank has a probable pair of D. azureus and the right has a trio of R. ventrimaculata 'Iquitos'.

These vivs still have a lot of settling in and growing in to do. I'll be updating this thread often just like my other journal threads. Thanks for reading
