This is my vivarium i just finished it. It will evetully be home to orchids, ferns, and bromiliads. Then once the plants are established it will also house dendrobates(poison dart/arrow frogs).

Great job :exclaim:

Keep us posted, as it develops.

Were did you hide the mister? at the top or bottom?
I've seen them used to create mist "waterfalls" as well as just a "swamp" fog.

The tank is about 45 gallons or so tall. The lights are one flourcent with the UV and two spiral CF grow bulbs for plants. the fogger is at the top of the waterfall. i need to do a few adjustments to get the fog to flow properly over the falls. It took me about 2 and a half days or so to put it together,And when the frogs are in there will deffinitly be pictures. But plants will come first :mrgreen:

Do you have a supplier for the azureus? If not let me know. Actually if you DO could you let me know too?

Awesome.. that looks so nice.

Sean has inspired me to setup a viv. as well, and I am going to be ordering some dart frogs with him as well! I only plan on setting up a 10g with two dart frogs (still undecided on which type) .. I am excited, this should be fun.
