Default the start of a hopeful frog tank.

so, i just finished what i could today on a hopeful frog tank.its an exo-terra 12X12X18. ill be adding ficus pumila and a few neoregelia broms. ill also be getting better lighting
it might be a temporary tank if i ever get tincs, or maybe i could put thumbnails in here???
in the back left is a coconut under the syngonium, you can see it better in the last 2 pics.

the brown stuff on the background is dead moss from a while ago.

I would guess that the frogs are going to need some cover- how about trying to build some ledges and little places for them to hide? Also, they'd probably be more comfortable with leaf litter than moss, but you could always just pull that when you get the frogs.

Looking good, though. Did you find that moss in your neighbourhood?

good points ep. i was thinking though that those plants would grow a bit and fill in before he got the frogs, maybe. that's kinda why i didn't suggest any cover... other than a couple plants in the b/g. ahhh, well, you know...

the leaf litter i should have thought of... doh...

very nice tank. I like the 2 broms that you selected, adds a bit more color than you usually see.
