So this tank has really been growing nicely over the past few months, the broms have all sprouted at least 2 pups i recently had to cut 2 off because it was gettin cluttered looking the fern is spreading, and bes to of all the mosses have really taken off especially the ricca, its soo lush and think. Enjoy!

wow man this is funny you told me you liked my tank alot but i just noticed thats its a pic of one of your frogs in that tank that i have as my back ground on my laptop. wow this tank is truly stunning the simplicity with which you did it gives the frogs a real chance to shine. what do you have on the left side of the tank on the glass, and whats your background on it, im not sure if you did a build journal but if you did im gonna check that out asap. this is exactly how i would want my tincs tank to turn out so any hints if you dont mind sharing you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

Wow nice work! looks great..love all that Riccia! What kind of lighting rig do you have on there?

 

[Devanny]

I love it, it looks like a rainforest floor.

Beautiful tank, so bright! I love the moss covered everything

 

[Richard]

It looks awesome. It gives all us new members something to look forward to.

 

[LittleDip]

Beautiful!! Everything looks so healthy and glowing with “green”

Can you give me any tips or pointers on how to get the moss to grow and what kind of lightning are you using?
Sorry for all the questions.

Fantastic. Since my viv is a terribilis tank too, I am especially interested in your setup. This is going to be a long month waiting out the quarantine period before getting my frogs in their home.

Very nice looking tank. Love how the moss is covering everything.

 

[RedEyeTroyFrog]

Well, thank you everyone im glad you all enjoyed the terribilis tank, im gonna try to answer all questions in one post. LIttle Dip The moss is ricca and java, and really all i did was give it lots of direct light, and at first i misted it daily, and really soaked the moss when misting, then after it started to pick up i just kinda periodically mist it, but when i do mist i pay more attention to the moss than anything else. The lighting i use is just ur normal 48" shop light i believe i didn't buy any special bulbs or anything, but since the tank is not tall its getting a sufficient amount of light. Knuckles, im not exactly sure what you're referring to if u mean that little white wire? thats just a reflection of my usb cord, this tank is on a table directly next to my computer desk., Oh and also knuckles, are you sayning that you used one of my photos of my terrib as your background? If so which one i want to see!!...Thanks Every1!

 

[LittleDip]

thank you. I have some riccia in my 20g tank myself and it's staying green and I did at frist mist it like crazy to keep it wet..but it really hasn't "spread" or started to covers the ground.. your tank is amazing and i hope that i will have a tank like yours someday.

 

[RedEyeTroyFrog]

im sure you will buddy, just keep at it, Thanks

hay troy i wasnt asking you about a wire i was asking what you had used on the left corner of the tank as a background i couldnt tell if it was cork bark or someting else? as for my background its the one pic you had as your avatar were one guy looked like he was staring at the camera and the other was walking lol hopping away, it was a great shot. ive never owned terribs. but after seeing how out they are in your open spots its tempting! what kind of temps do they stay in? are they finicky when it comes to temps?

[knuckles4696]

heres the pic

what kind of camera are you using? i dont know much about them but ive been thinking about getting something specifically for this hobby.

 

[RedEyeTroyFrog]

ahh ive had that as my background as well haha!!, um no they are not finicky at all, temps have ranged from 72- to 81 and they always seem to act calm bold and collect, i love these frogs! and yeah it was a big piece of tree bark round i got at pets mart, the tank took me really 1 day to complete, i just had to wait for leca and moss to come in, thats the only reason it took longer, all the plants are from lowes lol... oh and also the camera im using is a Canon S5 Is and a its a great camera easy to operate, its very close to an SLR but its still just a point and shoot with tons of options... it was 300 bucks so that was a steal in my book for such a great camera

JUst wanted to update, i cut some pups out and put in other tanks but they are growing more now, also the fern started to spread out, and plus i just really like this picture of the viv

Troy - this is one of my favorite tanks. Did you put a video of this tank and your terribs feeding on Youtube? I saw a tank like this and said then that it was one of the best looking tanks for these guys. Can't wait until you do an oil painting of these guys.

 

[EricT]

Troy , really diggin' your tank ... I just finished up and recently added some bi colors to a 75 in which I placed a bunch of Riccia moss.. My hope is that it will cover everything like yours has .. Excellent work and great pictures ..Thanks for sharing...
