Hey everyone,
Well i decided poison dart frogs will be going into the 55 gallon fish tank. At the moment it's currently under construction.
For the drainage layer i will be using the egg crate method.
Any tips and tricks for the background would be great. I'm not sure how i want to do it yet. I might do the foam method but if i can't i might end up with a plastic scenery sheet on the back, and then in front lots of wood, rocks, plants etc so it might blend in. haha. If you can recommend what kind of expanding foam to use and tips to ensure everything goes smoothly that would be awesome. I just don't want to crack the glass since i've heard stories about that. The other option i just remembered is the cork/fake backgrounds they sell usually in 12"x12" inch sections.
I'm also looking for feeders, and seeders, i will be reading more into them now since it might be a couple days before the viv build, but springtails, isopods i'm looking for to seed the completed planted tank, and then fruit flies i will be looking for too. Any links or tips on raising these would be great too since i'm new to these feeders.
If anyone has the korean rock fern i would love to add that to the viv. If you know of any plants that would also be great for the viv please post them, not sure if i'll be using cps in it since but it's still a possibility. (small neps or utrics i think would do fine).
I'll keep everyone posted when i make some progress on it
