After rebuilding my old tank (80x40x50) it still had some issue's.
And i wanted to expand the tank so that was a great excuse to get a new one.
My new tank is 100x50x70 and has special drilled holes for the misting system.
I've put all of my old plants in the new tank and added some new plants aswel.
Unfortunately lost a whole collection of photo's of the tank/setup.
But i still got a few for you guys.
First up the styrofoam

I've used a layer of great stuff and elastopur on top (two component adhesive)
And coated it with a firm layer of peat and moss.

I've also used the same setup as in the last tank.
An aquarium heater on the bottom and a pump for circulation.
Those are housed in a simple plastic container (just for protection).
Bottom of the tank is filled with Hydropellets (rougly translated... just the clay balls... you guys probably know the word for it
)
On top of that the abg substrate and moss.
Tank is (on the photo) probably 3/4 month running.

Everything is finally growing well.
Frogs are completely happy in the new tank and eating/doing very well.
I'm thinking of expanding the leuco trio with some more frogs, or adding an thumbnail to the tank.
(but not sure yet... still need to do some research)
