That is an awsome bit of posting bro. Thanks for sharing. It came out beautiful! Congrats on the tadpoles, and good luck with the rest. Cheers.

thanks Scott. i was trying to help answer some questions while i built that viv, so i think it should help anyone else looking for a detailed simple instructions. i tried to make it as detailed and easy to follow as possible. i think the viv came out siccessful as there are very few things i can think of that need to be changed.

Well you did a damn good job. I really like some of the ideas you had, and the river thing especially interested me. I was wondering about a good way to go about that. Thanks again bro. Take care.

Maybe i missed it while reading and being destracted with all your awesome pictures, but how do you drain your river and do you pump the drained water back through the waterfall? Mainly i am just wondering about your plumbing all together as this is the main problem that i can't seem to solve while researching for my first vivarium.

the tank is set up with the conventional false bottom. all the water is recycled through out the tank because of this. within the background foam i have some water lines that take water from the pump (back right corner under FB) and feed the river and waterfall. this tank is set up on a misting system and is pretty tight, so about every two weeks i siphon some water off. i usually just drop a half inch hose in and start a siphon. about 10 seconds worth is enuogh to get it back down to the correct level. i dont really have any terrestial plants in there any more so if it gets flooded real bad, the moss doesnt seem to mind.
