Update on my RETFs

[seritchey]

I have been pretty busy with school and work lately, haven't been on. The frogs are doin fine and the tank is growing pretty well. Only thing I can't quite get to thrive is the Pothos(weird right?) Other problem is my water is like...digusting brown within 4-5 days in there, I think it's because I miscalculated and the dirt around the pond is wet and leaching into the water. Something I'll have to fix if I ever feel like tearing the viv down, just buy more leca. I'll take a picture of the plant life after this water change.

Well here's some pics:


These two are just effects I did with old pics. Now for the newer ones.





And the plants:

I still think they are some of the neatest frogs going. Glad to hear its going well.
I have tannin stained water aswell, frankly I like the look of it.

Its not even that it looks bad so much as I'm worried about the frogs. The last week I've been watching my brother's house and haven't been able to watch them. This morning one of them is awake...kinda worrying me a little

Re your water issue, sounds like you need 1) a good screen or barrier between your soil and your water and 2) a water filter. Check through some of the paludarium build threads for good ways to separate water & land in tanks & prevent this kind of problem. Good luck!

Yea looking back I should have separated the land and water. It would still be possible if I didn't have the frogs yet, just throw a bead of silicone around the water feature. I really want to now..should have thought about this before...DOH!
