My new completed dart frog vivarium (this one has working pics)
Hi all,
After alot of time and money here it is. It's a forty gallon tank, 36 L, 16 H, 15 W. I had a drainage hole cut in the bottom, which has a tube that goes into a bucket. The first layer is terra-lite, which is used for drainage. Then, a substrate divider of fiberglass window-screen. After that, coco bedding mixed with dyna-grow liquid fertilizer and then tree fern fiber which creates better areation and drainage. After that is a layer of damp sphagnum moss, then pillow moss on that. It has a bunch of live plants which are small now but will grow. It's also got lichen, indian almonds leaves, logs, etc. to make it look real. Well, here it is, what do you all think? 
Sorry about the quality on this one.
Thanks for looking, Jordan

Thanks for the compliments. Alberto, I'm starting with two dendrobates tinctorius. Tim, it's a Barry Bonds poster on the back wall if thats what your thinking of lol! It says "Fee Fie Foe Fum another Barry Bonds homerun". LOL (it was only a $2.50 poster so what the hell). Tim and Brent and Alberto, do you guys have darts?

Woops the stuff on the back of the tank in the second pic are epiphytic bromeliads, or air bromeliads. I stuch them there with silice. The genus is tillansia.

I think that TB is wondering what is covering the ENTIRE back of the terrarium, it looks like a brown rug kinda thing. I can't tell what it is either but it looks great!

Oh, thats coco fiber backround. It's made from coconut husk fiber, you can get it here http://www.blackjungle.com/Merchant2...ategory_Code=B
for a 10 gallon, 20 gallon, or a 2' by 6' roll to cut yourselt. It's cool stuff, the epyphitic plants just need to be silicone onto it and then they grow on there own.
